I can't buy it (I looked into importing an R33 Skyline some time ago and the process was awful), but there's a few things that I'd like to know about the truck.

1. What kind of 5 speed tranny?
2. What kind of wheels are those?
3. Where'd they get that hood?
4. What kind of suspension work has been done?

Does anyone at Tonbo House speak english? I'd love to ask them the specifics of this vehicle...

Importation is actually pretty easy if you import as a race car, just a couple short forms. It's the shipping that kills the deal. So if you know someone with an empty container in Japan...

...So if you know someone with an empty container in Japan...

Actually, I kinda do. But I'm moving and I have bigger fish to fry at the moment.

I did research some old vmag posts about a similar subject, so most of my questions have been answered. I know the Tonbo VXs have a dual shock set-up on them, but have not seen any pictures -very interesting eh Joe Black? (btw, thanks for your excellent tranny service writeup, I put it to use yesterday).

The hood is FRP, from Tonbo House, and I'm sure that there's a bunch of them just laying around in some warehouse.

Still dunno about the transmission/transfer case though.

Right hand drive, gobs of power, excellent suspension & handling...talk about the ultimate "going postal" vehicle, Cliffy would love this.
