Well i'm heading to Japan next week and would like to get a few things while i'm there like cam sprockets, indicators, boost controller etc. Things i can fit in my bag and bring home. I'll be in Osaka, then Kamakura, then Kyoto, then Kobe, then Himeji then Tokyo.

Anyone know of any good cheap places that sell second hand or new stuff? I'll be there for the Tokyo Auto Salon and the D1 Drifting comp... so it should be good

Thanks

Andrew

The Tokyo Auto Salon is in January, so unless your 'next week' means something different to mine, I think you are going to be disappointed.

Given the strength of your info, I'd check the D1 dates too.

Everything you're after can be purchased via autobacs. The trouble being, most of it will probably have to be ordered, which may take a week - possibly a problem for you. Some will say that autobacs is expensive, but I'd disagree, I've shopped around and their prices are the same as the companies whos parts they distribute. Do a search in this forum for autobacs, I've posted a store map link before.

Your other option is to go direct to the maufacturer. I can tell you where all the good rx7 workshops are, but I'm afraid I don't know as much about skyline workshops. I'm sure there are peope here that can fill you in.

For 2nd hand parts - http://www.upgarage.com/index.html

plenty of stores all around japan (and there are plenty of smaller operations that do the same thing).

Tokyo Motor Show i mean... http://www.tokyo-motorshow.com/show/2003/e...BLIC/index.html

Dunno about the D1, but was told it's at the end of October so i'll find out once i'm there.

Thanks for the link, but i don't speak japanese :(

Andrew, you coming to Kobe? Dude, my local SuperAutobacs at Sushine Wharf has all that stuff your after... and it's in stock too (I went there yesterday).

Send us a PM if you want to hook up.

Sorry dudes... my mate posted this from my PC... i forgot that i log in automatically. But HE will be in japan next week. I wish i was!!! He drives a 300ZX, but is getting me some go fast goodies

I'll be there around feb/mar next year though!

Thanks Rezz, i'll let my mate know.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
