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.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
