Default Something cool from Japan?

So, I've got a friend who is in Japan for another day, and was asking me if there was anything I wanted form over there... Considering I've already got the double-din sony HU (and it's just as expensive there as it is imported here apparently), is there anything he could get over there cheaper than I could here? Like say <$100 or so?

Oh, guess I shoulda stated (before this gets moved) that I was thinking something for the Z and hence posted it in this forum, maybe some cool JDM part.... But, then again, I don't know what else they've got over there that we don't, like some cool cell phone or something (probably wouldn't work tho, would it?). So, anyone got any ideas? I only got one more dya to let him know....

Doesn't the JDM Fairlady Z had two-tone steering wheel and shift **** if you have tan interior? Here's a pic from Nissan.co.uk:

*sigh* I'm not getting the orange ***** shifter, so let's move on

Besides, I've got an enthusiast and cloth. Hmm, is GT4 out in Japan yet? Might be worth modding the PS2 for that...

Ask for some magazines, mostly ones that feature a Skyline or Fairlady Z.

How about a Geisha that makes deliverys?

Or maybe some JDM license plates for your garage.

Aren't all the *genuine* nismo body parts cheaper over there? I have no idea what the shipping will cost you, but it might be worth looking in to.

Too late!

OH, well, next trip. I like the license plate idea but not sure how you'd go about getting one without, well, getting a car.

Default License Plate

Try a swap meet. even they have license plates that run out like us. somebody has to have an old one sitting around. antique store. something..

Good Luck, and I am envious of you. I would love to visit Japan.
Someday maybe I will.
