ok well i know there a current post about what to bring back from the land of the rising sun if you had the choice.

however, in this case i do. parents going over for business, and shipping some corporate things back, now i cant have anything too massive, i.e. body kits wheels. ect.. and it doesnt nessesarily have to be shipped back.

just wondering (under 500) what can i get for the car worthwhile over there that i cant get here. open to sugestions in performance and cosmetic/styling category.

i got a 95 33 with minor mods; cooler, exhaust ect..

cheers

too hard I'd say to try and get your parents to do some performance part shopping. I would do this:

ask them to go to a book shop/magazine shop and get a few option mags, drift tengoku, GTR magazine, hyper rev etc, whatever you are into.

ask them to go to a hobby shop and buy some nice models, JGTC skyline models are pretty sweet.

and finally ask them to bring back something really japanese.

cool thanks. yeah i have no idea about japan. only that i enjoy the cars the've made. any nismo stuff from keyrings hats, models, stickers sounds the go. plus maybe some mags. thanks guys. i know 500 is a bit of a small limit, to go performance wise.

although.. are say a bosch 044 or wallbro, or tomie equivilents any cheaper over there??? all that jap writing and yen stuff confuses the hell outta me.

thanks for your replies too.

Defi DIN Gauge...

But as Beer Baron said, it is quite hard to find performance parts shops in Japan, they are not often in the main touristy parts. It might take your parents the best part of a whole day to get out and find somewhere.

I made it to a SuperAutobacs when i was in japan.. It was ok to have a look but really is no different to Autobarn in Australia, except with more cup holders and a few sets of Rays wheels.

Maybe see if you can get someone to buy something from yahoo auctions for you and get it sent to your parents so they can take it home for you?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
