I updated the page with more information from the Japanese Wiki article (250cc engine and up as well as the intervals of renewal for vehicles). I also read the original reference books and found information in the same sections that did state Lexan windows were allowed but only on a case by case basis. I also commented out the phrase about no brake job/oil change as the shaken is clearly an inspection and not car maintenance to be done by the Japanese government. --Tzu7 (talk) 18:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updated page with information on the process of taking the shaken, test requirements, workarounds and the way japanese tuners view the regulations in-order to meet the shaken. Tzu7 05:53, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added some more info on the registration for the shaken and the costs incurred to take the test as well more info on the exact suspension ride right minimum and the amount of turning the wheels must be able to do. --Tzu7 04:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with this article

I cannot find any info on the two books cited as sources besides references or copies of this Wikipedia article. See WP:CITE for using citations correctly. The "Registration and Cost" section has too much talk about indirect costs and potential original research, going off on a tangent about ex-pats. Generally, it is not very clear. Also, the article focuses too much on car modification - I understand the subject would be of interest to those into modified japanese imports but there should be more general information about the roadworthiness test. --Zilog Jones (talk) 00:23, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a mess. It is almost entirely composed of poorly-written and highly dubious original research based on a juvenile level of understanding of vehicles, vehicle equipment, and vehicle safety inspections. No valid references, numerous grossly unsupportable assertions…total overhaul needed. —Scheinwerfermann ^T·_C00:53, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Age of vehicles: is the age of vehicles expressed the same as the age of persons (that is differently from the Western way)?

You probably know that when the Japanese say a person is X years old they mean that person has already entered their Xth year whereas in the West we say that a person is X years old only when that person has completed their Xth year of age.

Does the same convention apply to the age of vehicles?

Thanks.

That is in fact a Korean convention not Japanese, and no it does not apply to cars in Japan either way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.79.29.227 (talk) 10:01, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Changes

The registration and cost section was basically garbage. Prices are entirely dependent on the specific size and weight of the vehicle. Also stripped out the weirdly worded renewal periods section and changed it to a table that reflects the linked article. Recited to Japanese version as the official English translation has mistakes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.79.29.227 (talk) 12:09, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
