I am off to Tokyo in April and was wondering if anyone knew where the best place to by things like cams might be?

I have a mate who lives there but when I ask him to get pricing for me its always more expensive then nengun etc...

any ideas???

thanks in advance.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think you would do much better than Nengun on prices when in Japan. I was always suprised when in Japan how few performance cars you see on the road, and the ones you do see seem to be more often European performance cars. In Australia it seems like every 10th car you see on the roads is a Skyline / Silvia / Supra! :laugh:

but not very cheap. and not that much range of performance parts. certainly you'd never see cams there.

best way is mail order. don't waste to much time in japan trying to save a few bux on parts unless you really know what you're doing, and can speak enough japanese to bargain etc.

also, moved to japan.

yeah, carrying them will be a bitch too. far better to just enjoy your holiday. :laugh: seriously with internet ordering the way it is now it truly is a global ecconomy. plus there is no massive "cheap skyline performance parts r us" stores in tokyo. there are good performance stores, but they wont have what you want in stock anyway.

order parts off yahoo, get them shipped to your friends then ship them to your self... prolly the cheapest way...

upgarage has some descent stuff.. if they have a Autobacs used parts shop... not to many of them but they have good prices, hopefully they will get bigger cause they will cause upgarage to have some competition and hopefully have to compete and lowere there prices..

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
