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 Kapr · Posted

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.

      If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
