Looks like a nice hachi mate!

Welcome!

So is importing to NZ a big deal or is it easy enough? There's another guy here that's recently moved to NZ that I was chatting to that is dreaming about bringing a hachi into NZ so I'm sure he'll be interested in learning about your experience..

haha thanks guys,

Umm its reasonably easy if you know what your doing... me and my father have been in the import business for a fair while now so its easier for us... that and we can speak japanese and go to japan often haha

Doctor, the ones i found on the web were a 1 piece design. Theese ones look much better with all the screws around. Is it a real 2-piece/3piece design, or just for show?

Still im staying with hayashis Puh

The crossfever centercap is too damn kool though Cool

well, i think it's for show, because, if you look closely, you see a weld on the inside of the rim.

But i haven't checked it good, so maybe they are 2 piece (sadly reversing won't go, because they are offset 0 Very Happy

).

The full on 1 piece designs aren't that nice indeed Very Happy

Cheers K

Thanks.
Its just gonna be white with black bumpers, side skirts, wing and trim.
Next time I paint it, it will be grey/black panda just like my new favourite 86.

So tell me Keisuke, at this stage only hypothetically asking, but are you connected in Japan to the level where you could import an 86 for people other than yourself?

As in, possibly me... Wink

depends on when and what im doing...
But yes I could if you are Fully commited to it! Smile
