WOW Kentaro, seriously amazing photographs! :hrmm:

Man, you must have had fun over there in Japan. I would so love to see some Skylines!!

May I ask, how was the weather?

well I stayed in southern Japan (Miyazaki) which is located on the island of Kyushu so it was pretty hot.
most of the 45 days I stayed was about 80~90F and probably some 100+ with a lot of humidity.

but in the mountains its very cool :P

and to get things straight. The Skylines in Japan are the Infiniti G35's here in America

Skylines are not GT-R's :hrmm:

Nice Kentaro, it would be a cool experience to go there. Culture must be very different, huh?

Well, I've liked Skyline R34 V-Specs since super early in my life, they are just such beautiful cars. :hrmm:

And technically, the GT-R should be a Skyline R35. :hrmm:

Wow, sweet shots, awesome cars. Thanks for uploading those pics, you have convinced me to go to Japan one day! :hrmm:

Only car from your shots that I have seen in the US is the GT-R. :P

BTW, my mom asked if you took photography lessons. :hrmm:

yeah Japan is pretty fun heh.

You'll see many many STi's, Mark III or X, Skylines/GT-R's, Supras, you name it. cept I didn't see many new gen Evo's ha.

and no, I don't take photography lessons, just a waste of money.
trial, error, and creativity is what makes a good photograph-er

Man, that's sweet. I love all those cars (as you see by the STi badge in my av), and I'd love to see them on the street.

Got it. :hrmm: My school has free photography lessons, that's why she asked. ;)

Do you have family over there?

my cousins and my grandma lives over there so I visit them every year, usually for like 3 months but this time it was 45 days because of some weird stupid ticket deal we got...

oh and if you do end up going to Japan, keep an eye out for the Subaru Legacy! the Japanese does such a good job with modifying those things... both the sedan and wagon

but yeah, sometimes you'll even see STi police cars on the highways. pretty sweet

Wow dude, that's sick. :hilarious:

I have the same thing, my cousins+grandmas live in Belgium. Unfortunately, they don't have good cars over there. :)

STi cops, that's just wow. :P Although, I must admit, I've seen Ferrari and Lamborghini cops in Italy. :hilarious:

Seriously, that Legacy looks tight. :)
