A lot of the text seems to be in 'gif' form, so doesn't translate, and good luck getting 'em to ship anything for you, LOL

The translated text always ends up with fairly interesting 'syntax' too!

i'm sure there are some japanese forums.

i dont think you could readily buy stuff from them though. google translated japanese will not help you at all in trying to comunicate with people unfortunately. and many japanese people that dont speak english also dont write in romanji so wont want to post you stuff. it would be like a japanese guy asking you to address a package to him using kanji or katakana.

best bet is still yahoo for all your used japanese parts needs.

There is http://www.gooparts.com/ which has things but Yahoo is the best IMHO

In fact I bought an intercooler on Yahoo last night to replace my bent hoseclamp.

Because I can't write/read/speak Japanese I get Streeter to do all the stuff after I bid

if you want to contact him just email [email protected] but I am sure lots of other

people are doing it on this forum to...

I've rummaged through those 'local forums' as N1GTR put it, and usually parts are sent after a lengthy conversation via email to ensure that you're not getting the wrong part. I'd only ever consider it for extremely rare and/or discontinued parts which - if you can locate what you want - is an absolute godsend sometimes.

As Laurence said Gooparts has some good stuff too, but often in limited amounts and applications. There are alot of parts on Goo for your Toyota bB/Nissan Mocco/Honda Odyssey though...

Umm there is Up-Garage... or are you looking for online only...

any part in particular, i go to about 4 different Up-Garages every week in my area, which is West Tokyo.

I know this is slightly off topic, but I'm heading to Sapporo in Hokkaido in Jan on a snowboarding trip, and was looking to pick up a few small parts for my car whilst there.

Are used/new part stores common? ie. will i just run into one whilst there in the main city areas or will i need to hunt out a store out in an industrial estate etc...

Just after a few small common items (guages, cam gears etc, whatever i can find cheap really.)

Having never been to Hokkaido I can't say for sure, but if you want to find car parts places the best place to look is along the main roads usually, away from train stations.

for a well advanced country, i've found that the best bargains in japan are in secohan shops, over the counter so to speak.

now if some genius could make those shops accessible to the fanboys overseas then they'd be onto a goldmine.

Yes but freight... nobody wants to pay for freight, even if Santa personally sent that Hard Gay Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu direct to their door from the north pole...

Or are you suggesting Razor Ramon works the counters at 'J-Fanboy Warehouse' Sydney City store?

freight isnt to bad if the item is within ems size and under 20kg

Some directions to these seconhan shops would be nice to start with, I got this from one of the earlier threads

UpGarage-Tokyo-Chiba

Get the JR out to Chiba (airport line) or Chiba Minato .From here either catch the monorail or simply walk along underneath following where it goes. Once you get to the stop one from Chiba Minato station alight from the monorail and head north up R16. There is a Red stage Nissan dealer on the right and a couple of petrol stations on the left, Up garage is just after these on the left hand side

cheers

I have done a fair bit of Hokkaido and I can say you wont have much luck finding much there. HKS Hokkaido is about the most exciting place and even that is a tiny shop...

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
