@@pedrorodrigueziii4859 yes it is. The car community out here in Japan is so much different than the states. Japanese guys with R34 M-Specs will let you sit in the car and tell you what you want to know about it. Everyone appreciates everyone else’s car. The Stagea community is all about hanging out together and meeting up.

I had the same experience with Japanese Culture and how kind they are as you did Mickey. It was absolute culture shock when I had to walk past road work on a sidewalk. The entire crew stopped working, bowed to me, and escorted me and my friend around the work zone. This work zone wasn't big at all and I could have easily walked past it without ever making eye contact with them. But they made sure to escort us. It was insane.

Definitely say that because the chrome setup is more my style haha would kill to import an older stagea and do an R32 GT-R front clip version skyline wagon 🤤 dump it on some rebuilt, deep af, full brushed Nismo LMGT2, retrofit the r32 BN Sports kit, wrap it black, and have a super rad drift wagon 😍🤌🏼
