kadena air base, okinawa. for a long time. im waiting for my jap friend to get done with his work and visiting his mom in the hospital, it'll be awhile. ive been to alot of junkyards, and it's a gold mine for import lovers. my brother said the lowest for the whole thing goes around 500, but that pricing is rare to find. front clip would prolly be like 1000 bucks. shipping?? i dont know, i wanna know that myself. alot of ppl dont believe me about me being in oki, all i get is insults, but if i gotta prove it, let me know.

 

didnt know u were living in okinawa, now the price is reasonable lol. i shoulda looked where u were located first i totally wish i can go visit a Japanese junkyard, it would be heaven for me

 

im not in okinawa no more at the moment, in florida for a couple years, save up money, my brother got busted and the colonel decided to kick him off the island indefinitely or something, that meant my family had to leave the island. holy **** i cried when we had to leave. but ill be back to it. at junkyards, they have fences but there are cars outside of it, like they had this old school rx7 with nice killer rims just sitting there, all you needed was the right tools a truck and voila! free rims. skylines are like that, silvias, etc. free speakers and all that, but theyre stock. many things join the military or get SOFA status. and you might have a chance to go there but i tell you, u might never wanna leave.

 

i dont wanna join the military just for that....kus i know i wont even make it in there hahaha. my skinny *** would defintantly not make it...me and my friend just wanna visit japan, have fun over there

 

well lemme give you a few tips, first off, you gonna need to make sure which japs you deal with, when they find out you are just visiting they will **** you over. second, you need alot of money. when i visited oki 6 months ago, a ticket was like more than a thousand bucks, i dont remember the figures. then you need mad money for spending

 

I trust you somewhat (some people are just @ssholes), which is pretty good for me not even knowing you. If you could figure out a way to get sr20's over I know i'd be more than happy to hook you up with some extra cash.
Just curious.......................How much could I get a used R33 for in Okinawa(1995,1996model turbo)?
This will probably make me want to pack up and go now

 

look here to find your SR20 under 2K angelfire.com/my/jdmengines/engineswap.html

 

$1700 for just an engine, tranny, and ecu is a rip off.

 

from the way ur putting it, i dont think ill have enough money after i get my swap and stuff done haha

 

One of the locals has the S15 front on his S13FB. It is white and is fantastic.

Here is a picture:

 

looks sooooo clean...ugh

 

Car looks better in person. Trust me.

 

how much did his paint job kost? i like it...i like it a lot

 

gimme a few days, i can talk to my friends on msn, they live in okinawa and japan, hopefully they'll come on, busy living over there.they'll have the prices in their brain i never paid attention to the r33 turbo pricing, and are you asking about the single turbo, dont bother asking about gtr engines cuz aint nobody dumb enough to throw that **** in the junkyard, but i do know alot a pricings for silvias and they are super cheap thanks to junkyards, of course. and for shipping i have no clue bout how that **** works when it comes to shipping engines. i just figured you throw it in a box, weigh it, and pay for whatever it weighs, and all that kind of crap.


anyways, that picture of the silvia is awesome, i have that along with a thousand other pics of cars as my screensaver, it's a slideshow screensaver, every 10 seconds a different car pops up.

by the way ppl, you know those old *** onevias that are convertible, can you convert that front end to a s15? ever since i came to the states, they have so many freakin 240's, and i was wondering if the convertible onevias are the same as all other 180sx front ends in the states.

 

The S15 conversion would work for any S13. Coupe, convertable, hatch.... It's all the same. Personally I don't like S15 front ends on coupes and convertables, the S13 Silvia front end looks much better.


I'd like to know who did the job too. I need my car painted, maybe I could go to the same place? Where'd he get it done, Stanbo?
