Lucky man. I was stationed in NAF Atsugi Japan in the late 90's. Don't waste any time on anything other than a Skyline or Silvia. They rock! I owned a '84 R30 Skyline GT. Inline 6, 5 speed, Turbo and RWD. It was a blast! Watch out for Okinawa. It's a nice place but there have been many marines that have raped and or killed Japanese women. So the feeling towards Foreigners (Gai-jin's) is not that good. I am sure it all depends on who you surround yourself with. Most of my friends were/are Japanese. They are great people and will be your friends for life if you treat them like you want to be treated. My wife is Japanese too. Things are not necessarily cheaper in Japan. But you can get good deals. Keep you ear to the ground for any junkyards. That is were the JAP ANDY gets his parts. When I was there the rate was 141yen = 1.00 buck. Anyway, best of luck and post some pics of your Skyline or what-ever when you get there.
Thanks for serving. I appreciate it.
