I asked them if they had:
-an s15 front end (all OEM minus the fenders), -the s15 spec-r spoiler -s15 front seats-JDM s14 kouki tail lights-s15 steering wheel
and they didn't have any of it. I know I could source them all seperatly but if there was a place like venus where I could just drive up there, put everything in a flatbed and drive home and not worry about the hassles of shipping and actually finding everything sepereatly... that would be great. does anybody know of a place like this in CA?
Thanks in advance.
Are there any japanese junkyards in Cali besides venus?

dude no way in heII. Im having enough trouble trying to find the interior S14 piece that goes around the stereo console. There's no way your going to find that many parts for a car that isn't even made nor sold in the u.s.a.
Your best place for those types of things would be ebay or an internet site that deals with shipping in foreign parts like that. No junkyard in the u.s. would carry stock S15 headlights let alone the rest of the stuff.
By the way S15 headlights in good condition will run you anywhere between $400-$550 used. Good luck

I know the cost unfortionatly.... 
But I know for a fact they sell s13 front end conversions which in all likelyhood come off of clips and they sell s15 clips so why don't they sell s15 front ends; there is a market for this stuff. I don't know what they do with the rest of the car, but I want it. :pface

umm..... :holding self back:
You will NEVE find any S15 parts in a junkyard here in the US.. they never made nor brought those cars here... period..
you can get front clips of that car from an importer but not from a junk yard... you can get body panels, headlights, whatever you want off a S15 but you will have to buy them from an importer...

well, reason being because they KNOW there is such a high demand for these parts, and even if the car is wrecked somewhere in the front end (it most likely is cause its totalled) then they strip off all those parts and sell them one by one on ebay or something. People that want odd parts such as these turn to ebay. Believe me, i would love to get the engine and the entire front end in decent condition too. That would be great!Snarlynx wrote:I know the cost unfortionatly....

black240 - are you familiar with Venus?
that's exactly what it is, it's more or less a junkyard with Japanese cars in it. I know they never brought over s15's... I'd be driving one if they did. I'm not stupid, I just used the term "Japanese junkyard" where you would have used "importer"
I mean, they get in clips all the time. clips have front body panels. they sell s13 front ends from the clips they have. they sell s15 clips. why is it silly to think that they might also sell the s15 front end?
and if they have the front end of the car I figured they probably have the rear (they sell s13 tail lights) so I figured I'd ask if they had some seats and taillights. I fail to see how that is ignorant on my part thinking there was a chance.... especially since I asked a follow up question and they said it was possible.
I don't know how I'm coming off in this post as text doesn't portray feeling well but know I'm not being rude, I just want to know why anyone would think that it was silly of me to even ask.
