Japanese from 98 wing - can someone translate to English?

[mthreat]

Can someone who reads Japanese translate this to English? It's from the inside of the 98+ JDM wing, which is 3-way adjustable:

[PHOENIX]

left side - Arrow points to front of the wing

Exclamation Point - Caution

Right side - "Never under any circumstances should you loosen the rear bolt. This can cause damage to the spoiler under driving conditions. For information on how to adjust the angle of the spoiler, please consult owners manual (instructions).

Thanks!

This is so damn funny -- I loosened the exact bolt that it said not to loosen "under any circumstances"!! I'm taking it apart to have it painted.

Good!

You don't have to say "watashi wa" though in that sentance. Whenever a sentence is used without that phrase, its automatically assumed. Japanese will think you learned it out of a book if you say "watashi wa" and they will know that you are a tourist.

Kanji is damn near impossible to learn/read without being involved with the lanuage every day, for years since there are about 3500 characters. Hiragana and katakana is easy however. If you can memorize the english alphabet, you can read 35% of the japanese language.

BTW, I can't read Kanji, and a lot of those characters are kanji. Pretty much the only sentence i was able to understand was the first one. My boss was in the room when i opened this thread and he told me what it says He is American, but has lived here for 17 years and has a Japanese wife, so his Kanji is really good, not perfect, even after 17 years, but damn good.

not as hard as you think, i hated spanish, took 2 years of it in highschool, if i had another choice other than, spanish, french, or signlanguage i would have picked japanese and stuck with it like my older brother who is fluient...

[PHOENIX]

Just curious, what do you think chyoto means (btw, i can't spell japanese in english, its really hard, so i might not be understanding it correctly).

chooto choto, i could be spelling it wrong, it's suppose to mean small or little.

[mr2gq]

I couldnt even fathom trying to learn that stuff. I got a short attention span lol.

Scoshi is little.

Choto (chyoto, chotoe, whatever) is short for one sec, one minute please.

The full phrase is choto mateh kudasai (can you give me a second/minute please).

I should do a "emergency Japanese phrases" thread on the board with short phrases like.....

1 more beer please
show me your tits
no, im not married
size doesn't matter
I'm huge in Japan
I'm kind of a big deal
I don't mind if you have a boyfriend
1 room please, 1 bed (with 2 people)
how much is bail

[LoverofMR2s]

例を挙げてもらえます2番目
ワンモアビールしてください。
おっぱいを見せてください
いいえ、私は結婚していない
大きさは関係ないよ
私は日本の巨大な
私はちょっと大げさに
僕は気にならないことがあるの彼氏
1つの部屋には、 1つのベッド
同法案はいくらですか？

yea schoshi is the other word i considered but im very rusty with it, haven't used it in person in like 8 months. That is a great idea, any one from this board can get laid, or slapped, or both. im gonna brush up on my intro japanese book to get some more questions memorized and more vocab so when i visit my brother there i can be semi respected for at least trying to know the language, unlike some people that come to this country.

Sounds like a good translation might be "moment"?

l took the same spoiler apart also to repaint ( change color ).
Dam it was hard to take off as mine was a slipping security bolt.
l had to grind a slot to screw it off.
The reason why its that way is so that you only move the front bolt to change the angle of the spoiler.
The rear bolt is just the pivot point.
I just need to work out the best way to put it back on the car.
That is whether to assemble it first then bolt it on the car or do one part at a time on the car as there is the double sided tap that sits on the lid.
THe manual shows how to take it off but NOT how to reasemble it

im not being a smart ass but basically i'd reverse the instructions for taking it apart, off hand i'd recoment putting it together before putting it on the car tho. i wana see pics of it, i haven't decided what spoiler i want yet.
