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.

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?

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
