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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
