You can register a car no matter how old it is as long as it passes emissions and it Skakken inspection. Shakken is something that is required every two years. You must take your car to have it inspected and if there arent any leaks, seepage, tires and other safety items are still good then you pass and get you registration. It cost's almost 1000 USD to have it done. Not including the parts you may have to repair or replace just to get it to pass inspection. It's way more stringent then anything in the US, yes even California. And I registered cars in both California and Japan and here in Japan it is a real pain in the ass. Especially if you have an old car like mine.

My Japanese tutor was telling me about Shakken yesterday. Sounds pretty harsh, if I lived there I probally wouldnt even own a car.

BTW are you actually Japanese or are you a foreigner living over there?

So how common is an A 70 in Japan? I know your supposed to rid of a car early in japan to reduce emissions and promote commerce so having a 20 year old car isnt common eh?

LOL, its okay..An A70 chassis car isnt too common but not exactly rare either. The GA70's like mine are kinda rare, but the MA70's and the JZA70's are more common. Most of the 70's you see here are of the JZ variety

JDM is soooooo overrated.

KDM is where the REAL Powah is at! :p

I might not be able to hook you guys up with 1JZ's and JDM tails, but if you ever need a Tiburon motor, some Nike tennis shoes or some sweet leather jackets, holler at me. :D

LOLZ. not really.

Welcome to the forums, my friend.
