I take it you mean car parts. Probably the best place to go would be SuperAutobacs (see Rezz'z Photo diary for an example of what can be found there). Also, Yellow Hat, Drivers Stand and Nismo Omori are worth checking out. There's so many great places to part with money in tokyo! :)

Sure, but they are detailled and I still don't guarantee that you will find it. Remember the streets in Japan don't have names, just numbers indicating a region.So you are going to have to walk around and look for it. Mabye the best idea is to buy a Option or Drift Tengoku mag as upgarage advertise in both.Show the ad to the hotel desk guy, as it has all shop addresses shown and ask for directions to the closest shop (there are 54 shops in Japan). This is what i did, he was extremely helpful and even called them asking there hours. Ok i was staying in Shinjuku i got on the JR yamanote line and went to Shibuya where some suburban lines leave from, it took about 5 min.Here we changed to a private line which was called the tokyu private line the green one in map attachment. Third last stop minamimachida, three symbols on map. Don,t catch the express it only stops at the pinks dot stops. Ok go out of the station, shopping centre on one side, road on the other. There is a bridge over this road. Don't take bridge but it goes over the road you want to walk up. Walk in the direction so that the shoping centre is on your right. This is a big road with car yards on it, you may have to walk around the shopping centre to get to this road. About 600m up this road you will see the inter section/ over pass as on the upgarage map. Once across the road, under the over head motorway look right. You should see a yellow Upgarage sign , if you don't see walk right down this road.Then you are there.

Yep an apexi air filter about Au$20 and Trust Gauges about $140 for the pair.

That list of stores on the website is not all correct. one said it was in Shinjuku prefecture, and hotel desk guy said it was about an hour and a half away. The second train ride took about 45 min.

I think you underestimated the size of Japanese "prefectures" :)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
