Hi guys, we need to ask for some parts in japan and need help to write them down in japanese...

How do we ask for an oil cooler kit with remote filter and carbon fibre aero mirrors to suit R32 GTR in japanese?

Any help appreciated, Martin.

depending on where your sourcing the parts from, the japs usually know very little english which helps alot. if you are to write it down. be simple and write in block capitals and dont use unessory words.

BNR32 - OIL COOLER KIT + REMOTE FILTER

BNR32 - CARBON FIBRE AERO MIRRORS. (thats pushing it, if you know brand names that you want it'll make it easier for them to piece what your saying)

HKS OIL COOLER

GANADOR MIRRORS

Most Japs try theirbest to communicate with you, even on one occasion i came across whilst trying to buy parts one got on the phone and dialed for a translator and had it on loud speaker.

Are you in Japan? Then all you need to do is find a printer and show them this, pictures are the best way. You can stuff around for ages misunderstanding each other but it does get tiring.

If you are not in Japan, the best way to get them is to ask me!

ah san ni sukyrine ganador cahbon mihro onegaishimasu.

but as laurence suggested either pics, or get the catalogue and point will be your best bet if you have zero japanese.

thanks guys, I will be in japan from jan 8 - 19 for TAS. Have been once before ( jan this year) and was lucky enough to be at Crystal Auto with a translator last time. This time we are on our own....

Hey Laurence.. I just saw that you are in Osaka... we will be there for about 3 days from 15/16 - 19 jan. I am trying to find some good tuning shops and get directions. I have a map to Trial but all in japanese.... can you suggest any others? Never been to Osaka before.

Thanks, Martin.

Here is some info... the closest train station is called Eganosho (li恵我ノ荘)on the Kintetsu - Minami Osaka line to work out how to get there just type your local station and Eganosho into this website and it will tell you which trains to take. Jorudan Train Route Finder :: CLICK ME

When you get to the train station you will have to take a Taxi to Trial, again the best way to do that is to hand the driver the address and one of the maps below. If you want to say Trial in Japanese you say something like Toe-Rye-A-Loo but that probably won't help at all. Then hand over around ¥1,070 and look at some fancy cars.

After you are at Trial you should ask them where Up Garage is and you can walk there. Also in the taxi you will pass a really cool small shop with Time Attack GT-Rs that I have never looked at.

If you want to go to Signal... not that much there really

You need to go to Toyokawa station on the Osaka-Monorail (work out the route using the website above, in fact you should spend every living on that website planning your trips before you come to Japan). Then either jump in a Taxi or just walk the 1.7km to the workshop and ummm, have a look at some purple cars.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
