I take it you mean car parts. Probably the best place to go would be SuperAutobacs (see Rezz'z Photo diary for an example of what can be found there). Also, Yellow Hat, Drivers Stand and Nismo Omori are worth checking out. There's so many great places to part with money in tokyo! :)

Sure, but they are detailled and I still don't guarantee that you will find it. Remember the streets in Japan don't have names, just numbers indicating a region.So you are going to have to walk around and look for it. Mabye the best idea is to buy a Option or Drift Tengoku mag as upgarage advertise in both.Show the ad to the hotel desk guy, as it has all shop addresses shown and ask for directions to the closest shop (there are 54 shops in Japan). This is what i did, he was extremely helpful and even called them asking there hours. Ok i was staying in Shinjuku i got on the JR yamanote line and went to Shibuya where some suburban lines leave from, it took about 5 min.Here we changed to a private line which was called the tokyu private line the green one in map attachment. Third last stop minamimachida, three symbols on map. Don,t catch the express it only stops at the pinks dot stops. Ok go out of the station, shopping centre on one side, road on the other. There is a bridge over this road. Don't take bridge but it goes over the road you want to walk up. Walk in the direction so that the shoping centre is on your right. This is a big road with car yards on it, you may have to walk around the shopping centre to get to this road. About 600m up this road you will see the inter section/ over pass as on the upgarage map. Once across the road, under the over head motorway look right. You should see a yellow Upgarage sign , if you don't see walk right down this road.Then you are there.

Yep an apexi air filter about Au$20 and Trust Gauges about $140 for the pair.

That list of stores on the website is not all correct. one said it was in Shinjuku prefecture, and hotel desk guy said it was about an hour and a half away. The second train ride took about 45 min.

I think you underestimated the size of Japanese "prefectures" :)

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
