I'm in Japan for the next 5 months driving a POS Subaru rental and putting together a short list of what I'm going to order for my stock 05 touring that is currently sitting in my garage waiting for me. My question is are there any parts I should look into getting out here that I can not get in the states?

I'm gonna drive around tomorrow and look for some shops and see what they have but any ideas I'd love to hear them.

thanks

 

get some jdm parts i hear they make them out there

 

For the Z, I would check out Power house Amuse for parts. But I would go and buy a RB26 or 2JZ or 20B and get that shipped back to the US for a swap in the Z.

 

Unlock the 350Z in Initial D and pretend you are already home driving that '05! Most Japanese will be just as impressed with your simulated driving as Americans would be with the real thing.

 

Lmao

 

Rather than asking us, I would be out hitting the tuning shops.

Amuse, Top Secret, Mine's, MCR, and they still have Autobacs there I believe??
I've seen pictures from autobac's and alway dreamed of just browsing through there.

RB26 longblock shipped to 43035?

edit: oh ya and I would definitely make a trip to Liberty Walk if I were in Japan. not that they'll have anything for your Z but their cars are redonk.

 

Can you overnight me some parts for Japan? That way I can decimate all at race wars!

 

I'll take a Top Secret V1 front bumper and an HKS Turbo Timer ... please.

 

depends man, what city are you in..

 

i'm so jealous. spend your day at Up Garage or Autobacs.

Introduce yourself with a description of your Z and photos. Thanks.

 

ASM or MCR

 

Wow!
Would not know where to start!

 

HKS and Nissan museums too

 

Grab some wheels they are so cheap used there alive herd you can Probly buy them there and sell them for 2 or 3 times as much here

 

hey robbie, I was in japan all of December 2011 and Jan 2012 and I found that the US dollar was so weak that buying parts in Japan is actually more expensive.

A new basic nismo shift **** normally $50.00usd was almost $ almost 7,000yen or about 60 -70 dollars. Now imagine how much a real engine part would cost.

 

Can the z that on the roads as of now?

 

well, aren't we all familiar with prices already? I'd say go check the shops for prices. But with shipping and whatever laws they have for import/export i doubt you'd save or make any money.

Might want to just get some cool accessories that they dont even ship to us here.

Have fun!

 

+1 The food there is so expensive like a cup noodles is like a $1.00 here and over there is like $12.00

 

With the rates right now you'll be paying a premium for almost anything that sells at retail prices. My vote goes to UpGarage if your looking for used parts.

Not my pics but they are generally like this in my experience. Good luck bringing any of it home!
