I was stationed up north at Misawa AB. The complete opposite of Kadena. We averaged a ton of snow up there and that made driving the FD almost impossible. Lucky for me I had my all wheel drive Skyline for the winter.
Congrats on putting on TSgt if you're Air Force or SSG if you're Army, So looking at your location are you stationed at Pope AFB or are you Army stationed at Fort Bragg?
Yeah the kit was almost impossible to get in Japan and even people there dug it b/c it wasn't the same old RE Amemiya kit of Veilside kit you usually see over there.

Thanks! Yeah TSgt at Pope. Hopefully I'll be PCSing to Peterson when I get back from deployment though. Everyone else in my shop got orders, I'm still waiting for mine.
What kit do you have? The front looks like Cwest or DRFT, but the sides I can't tell. I like the fender flares though, and the hood.
Oh yeah, I've heard all about Misawa, screw that haha. Damn, a GTR would be nice too, haha. R34, 33 or 32?

The Skyline was an R32, It was cool for maybe the first couple of weeks, after that the novelty wore off considering everyone and their brother has them over there. Heck even some of the soccer moms have them. The FD on the other hand is much rarer. On base there must have been at least 30 - 40 Skylines (15-20 at least were GT-R's). As for FD's there were only 3 and I owned 2 of them. There were also 2 FC's.

The front bumper is C-West, but the rest of the kit is made by Stella a very small company in Japan. Up next on a list with about 50 more things I want is a Uras rear bumper with diffuser (about 800 - 900 from my buddy in Japan, gotta love shipping from a military air base (APO) using the U.S. post office).

We didn't have that many GT-Rs down on Okinawa. There was a civilian guy that worked on Kadena that had two R32 GTRs, and he was selling them both for $12k (one of them was some kind of special edition, like first 500 made or something), but I didn't have the money for them back then or I would have probably bought at least one. But I heard it was gonna be expensive as hell to get everything converted to U.S. specs. We had alot of GTS-Ts though, and one guy at my shop converted a GTS to a GTS-T. I only saw a couple FDs on our base though, and a kid in my shop had one of them. Then there was two guys with crazy fast FCs (one of them was my buddy I mentioned already, the other was a guy at PMEL), and a few more FCs running around. And another guy from PR in my shop that had a first gen with the rotor wheels. What year was your other FD?

yeah, i am stationed in Sasebo (Navy) and I know exactly what you guys are talking about. There are Skylines everywhere here and only 1 FD and that is mine. he he. I have seen another one but that was about a year ago and havent seen him since. Have seen one FC too.
I owned a R32 GTR but sold it and bought my FD. I felt the same way afapolo felt about the Skyline....after a while it was like no big deal. I like my FD a lot more than the GTR. I do have a R33 GTS-T and my wife drives that around. he he.
