American in Japan

[4CAST]

hello,

My name is Mark Holthaus. I own a car dealership in Iwakuni Japan, and I have a full tune S14 Silvia which is set up for race track use. I have recently started selling parts on EBay, and I just wanted to hop on here and introduce myself and answer any questions you may have about the availability and prices of JDM parts here in Japan. If there is ever a question about anything you see advertised by a user names 4castjames on eBay, you can direct the questions to me.

I have a lot of new and used parts here, and can get any part or information that you may need. Feel free to write me at [email protected], or call overseas at 01181827290440.

Thanks for your time......

Not to mention just like his avatar says.... he is the KING of these forums, lol.

[4CAST]

cul. Well, if you need stuff, I'm here and you are there. I have been doing this about 7 years or so. I can get parts (new and used) from just about every existing source in Japan.

[4CAST]

Pretty sexy.

[4CAST]

Man, I wish I could say that..:pface

[slw240sx]

how much for the can

[4CAST]

I am actually getting ready to put it on my car. I paid 126,000 yen for it from JIC. The normal price for it is closer to 185,000. Really, I checked out the moderators page and was pretty surprised at the cheap exhaust prices. If you want exotic, there are some cool 1 off places here that make their own.

[slw240sx]

i just want a good looking functional carbon fiber can, i dont like the stainless steel finishes all that much, i dont have anything shiny on my car an id like to keep it almost all non flashey

[4CAST]

I have seen a Nismo one, and there is a smaller company here called Dangan that makes a carbon can that is really cheap. I will try and scan a picture of it and send it over to you.

[sultan]

hey 4cast, is there any aftermarket parts for infiniti Q45's? only site i've seen is junction produce but i can't read japanese and i don't think anyone imports their stuff.

[sultan]

i was thinking jdm walker or cane holder and built in defibrillator, for those pesky heart attacks, along with jdm hearing aid, so you can hear the engine.

[themadscientist]

I have a lot of crap laying around too, unfortunately a lot of cars outside that the crap bolts too!

[4CAST]

The Q-45 isn't a big deal over here. The Japanese call the new one a Cima, but it is too expensive for most of the young people to buy so you don't see a lot of tuning on it. The older models are not really popular. There are cars here that have never been sold in the states, and they are the ones that the tuner seem to ga after. I will look around, though.

[themadscientist]

I got dibs on the throttlebody and flow meter!!!!

[sultan]

a while back someone posted a link of some japanese q pics, all had widebody kits, massive tires, lowered to the ground, and some had the rear seat replaced with subwoofers, but i can't remember what the site was.
