I think to do it at the moment the Yen will make it very expensive.

Talk to some of the local guys and ask them. There are plenty around. Blacksun, Cred, Autoworx and there is probably another dozen i cant think of right now.

atm importing anything from japan is not worth it.

I just brought in a hks gt-rs turbo for a fellow sau member and the price had jump by $500 compare to about 2months ago when i bought the same turbo in for another member.

the exchange rate is at 60-70yen mark which is shocking

having said that you can still get some good prices, set of second hand rims still go for around 20,000-60,000yen + shipping and fee depending on style and size

It's at 74Y atm as opposed to 64Y since last week and monday, and I think the low 80s is what it will reach at best in the coming weeks, which is reasonable. Just keep in mind im not a consultant or anything but.

I'll be happy if it stays as it is for the next week and a bit!
