Nissan Prince Kagawa (215 Goto-cho, Takamatsu) has reopened and is holding a campaign June 12–13 and 19–20. The standout offer: a complete oil change for any Japanese car for just ¥1,000! Book an inspection or service and receive a free car-wash ticket. Visitors can also get tissues, soccer tickets, or a ¥3,000 highway card. A Fairlady Z S-Tune GT will be displayed and Skyline coupes will be available for test drives. Shikoku car fans, come on over!
Until now, you could not hear a muffler’s sound until after installing it. This device solves that problem: it stores the exhaust notes of popular mufflers so you can preview them before buying. Sound is what a muffler is all about! It is currently installed at Super Autobacs in Kuki, Okegawa, Utsunomiya, Hachioji, Kashiwa Shonan, and Ichikawa, and at Autobacs in Harumi, Bijogi, and Kashiwa Shonan.
Grand Slam Hamamatsu, a tuning shop in Shizuoka, holds its ninth-anniversary sale July 9–12. Tires, wheels, suspension, and other car parts are available at special prices. Customers spending ¥5,000 or more can win luxury prizes; the grand prize is announced at the event. The shop is confident you will not leave disappointed. Call 053-434-7311 for details. Bring this magazine for half-price installation labor on purchased parts!
Good news if you are planning a tire change! To mark its 30th anniversary, Autobacs Seven is running a tire-change support campaign through June 25. Forty winners will receive tire discount coupons worth a total of ¥1.52 million, redeemable nationwide at Autobacs and Super Autobacs. Enter through the Autobacs website; you could win just by applying. See the website below and take advantage of this opportunity!
