I'm guessing this is a mod to get your wheels to tuck in more.
Do you agree?

Nice pics psedog, and good showing of various Skylines in Japan. It's always interesting to see how the little modifications like bumpers and mirror signal housings are considered typical in Japan but substantially unique to us. I wonder how their performance/speed shops and auto parts stores run compared to our counterparts?

A rod raises out of that so you can see how far you are from something. Parking spaces, bridges, streets, and other things are smaller/tighter here.

So far, all I know is, the Sedan guys don't even know that the coupe/350z turbo kits will work on our cars. Although coil over kits are huge here. Can't wait to start going to meets to get into the scene.

Oh man, that is going to be a lot of fun if I get to help these guys work on their cars.


I'll probably be living in Yamato, in the Yokohama area.

I changed up my parking lights a little bit. No more yellow Still yellow for the signals though. My wife, being Japanese, wants all of my lights to be blue. She hates yellow, lqtm.

Tell me what you think.

Everything on. (headlight/signal/parking)


Headlights off.


Just parking lights



Daytime/nothing on.

JDM Tails installed. One thing I noticed is that the JDM ones are missing the side parking lights, boo!

Drivers side of the car has JDM and Passengers side is USDM. It is hard to tell in the pictures that I took, but the JDM one is definitely Yellow and the USDM are red. Also, the JDM ones are brighter.

JDM


USDM

Did you have to switch to JDM tailights for some sort of traffic law? They are not bad, but I would definitely keep the USDM if it's even possible.

Parking lights look real good.

psedog, kind of a dumb question but in Japan, do you fill up with leaded or unleaded gas? I know when I visited China many times in the past, leaded gas was used in some parts of the country.
