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" :)

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.
