Great forum guys, Ive been reading up alot on the Japan section of these forums, especially in the past few months since Im finally off to Tokyo for a few days at the end of this week :D

Im hoping some of the Japanese locals will be able to help me out with the question that i have without re-iterating what alot of other people have already asked. I basically have 4 days in Tokyo and one of the things on my tight agenda is to purchase some car parts, namely a Power FC. Now Ive been buying japanese magazines recently to keep up on prices but alot of the times the magazines don't list the actual price for the Power FC and instead ask you to call up instead. Now this may be fine for a local but seeing as though Im in Sydney and I cannot speak Japanese, it is pretty much impossible for me to get an idea of what kind of prices these go for nowadays.

To cut a long story short, Im curious to know whether buying straight from Japan would be cheaper than buying online from Greenline or Nengun? Greenline's prices especially seem very good and are even cheaper to some of the prices Ive seen in some Jap magazines. Would any of you locals know how much they go for over there? To be more specific it will be for my S14a ie. ~96-99 model.

BTW, does anyone know how much cheaper Japan is than HK? As im also going there straight after. Or is HK actually cheaper (Im assuming japan should be cheaper) ?

Hey Drunkenmaster,

To speed things up, try having a look at this:

It's free and resizes them in batches.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
