Good Content. Just a comment /hack on the parking space requirement to register the car in another person's name. When you apply for the parking permit for another car, just tell the police station parking inspection that you sold the other car that was registered to that space. My friend had 7 cars registered to one space. And you can then rent a parking space for all your cars after you register the next one, and the next one. The first space has to be within 2 KM of your registered home address. Pretty funny that the police handle the parking space permits. Police are generally quite kind in Japan and there is no stigma attached to going to the police station. Heck, even people that sell "used cars" as a business have to register their business at the police station. They just earn "revenue" in different methods here.

Not sure if you're still paying attention to the comments, but I need some advice. I followed this series as it's the only one I saw which I fully understood, and purchased my car from auction. Just titled it today, and it seems I'm having some trouble with the auto equity loan side of things. USAA does not offer any, and Navy fed's rates for 37 months + is basically the same if not more than my personal loan.
@2JZAddict26 күн бұрын
At the time I made this video, auto equity loans were still a viable option. I know a lot of lenders have tapered those considerably due to the number of repossessions rising and interest rates climbing. There are still some local credit unions will still do them but even those are getting difficult to find. If you have the ability, it might be worth doing a 401k loan. I’ll preface this by saying that the terms for a 401k loan will vary wildly depending the type of account, the holding company, amount, and some other factors. However, a lot of times those can be repaid within 5 years without penalty and any interest goes back to you (into your 401k specifically). There are also some life insurance policies that offer a similar option but that would be a question for your financial advisor.

@2JZAddict thank you for the input. I'll definitely look into this. For the meanwhile, I applied for the scra state benefits and that should, if I get approved, drop the interest all the way down.

I simple cut the 90° track curve about 6” above where it joins to the track next to the wall. I then installed 16” of straight track that I cut off the end of the horizontal track like you did. I supported the track higher on the wall above the cable drums. Next I took my opener, a 8 tooth chain sprocket one. Installed it on the right side of door below the Jack shaft, then using a 26 tooth #41 sprocket on the shaft, I connected it to the motor with a motorcycle chain. After adjusting up and down stops, and the force settings, the door works perfect. Total cost $30

I’d love to have done the same thing. Japan just reopened in 2023 though and that wasn’t an option when I bought the GTR. If that’s what you want to do, there are many places that will be able to accommodate that. Garage Defend has that option, you’d just need to buy the car and book the travel.

You will need a TWIC to pick the car up at the port. If the car is still in Japan when you’re trying to get a loan and you don’t have current orders to be stationed in Japan, Navy Fed won’t finance the car. They’ll want it to be titled state side already for a loan to be issued.
