I am off to Tokyo in April and was wondering if anyone knew where the best place to by things like cams might be?

I have a mate who lives there but when I ask him to get pricing for me its always more expensive then nengun etc...

any ideas???

thanks in advance.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think you would do much better than Nengun on prices when in Japan. I was always suprised when in Japan how few performance cars you see on the road, and the ones you do see seem to be more often European performance cars. In Australia it seems like every 10th car you see on the roads is a Skyline / Silvia / Supra! :laugh:

but not very cheap. and not that much range of performance parts. certainly you'd never see cams there.

best way is mail order. don't waste to much time in japan trying to save a few bux on parts unless you really know what you're doing, and can speak enough japanese to bargain etc.

also, moved to japan.

yeah, carrying them will be a bitch too. far better to just enjoy your holiday. :laugh: seriously with internet ordering the way it is now it truly is a global ecconomy. plus there is no massive "cheap skyline performance parts r us" stores in tokyo. there are good performance stores, but they wont have what you want in stock anyway.

order parts off yahoo, get them shipped to your friends then ship them to your self... prolly the cheapest way...

upgarage has some descent stuff.. if they have a Autobacs used parts shop... not to many of them but they have good prices, hopefully they will get bigger cause they will cause upgarage to have some competition and hopefully have to compete and lowere there prices..

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      3 or 4 8-balls in the sump?

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
