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...

Isnt there a couple of Secondhand Autobacs in Sapporo? I remember browsing their website for addresses, pretty sure there were 1 or 2 that was in Sapporo, I'll copy it into the post with a quick run through google translator:

北海道札幌市北区太平5条1丁目3-3

The hokkaido Sapporo city north Ku Taihei 5 provision 1 Chome 3-3

北海道札幌市南区川沿三条1-18-59(石山通り沿い)

The hokkaido Sapporo Itiminami Ku river following Sanjo 1-18-59 (according to quarry paralleling)

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 went to this shop in January, very little Nissan aftermarket stuff there. Lots of Toyota and Mazda. I visited a few Upgarages and didnt find much stuff at all.... Most likely changed now. Prices were very good however!

Wow! 4 Up Garages in west Tokyo. I wish i lived there. My city of f*kuyama in Hiroshima-Ken only has one (theres only 4 in Hiroshim-Ken). ouch!

theres so many places in the back streets.......its just a matter of luck, really. I found the workshop DRooP!!! I was riding my bicycle to the next town with a buddy and came across a shabby workshop. We looked inside and there were Silivas, BNR32s, C10 GTRs, AE86s, and in the back were their Z33 and AE86 D1 GPcars. They also had Nomura Kens previous D1 machine for sale!

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
