Just kidding, buy a lot of oil pumps, cam gears and other cool stuff.Oh, almost forgot. Go to K-1 Events!!!

[asher4857]

sorry, I got it all Are you visiting or coming over long-term?

[mrzabala]

Just bring back uncut harnesses, ecus from stock to tuned, oil pumps, kouki tail-lights and licence plates that are coded for nissan vehicles. Also, get some sr starters- It took me awhile to find one and I know many out there need one.

[themadscientist]

licence plates that are coded for nissan vehicles.

[mrzabala]

Its a special licence plates they have now that can be scanned by a police and shows all the information on the vehicle and driver; but I doubt he'll be able to get one.

[themadscientist]

News to me and I live here. I need some backup or I call BS. At any rate, plates are controlled items in Japan. Unless you swipe them off a car they are very hard to "find".

[mrzabala]

My uncle is stationed in Japan too. Thats how I got that piece of information.

Yeah I know. How about the junk yard?

[themadscientist]

Controlled item. Any junkyard that sells plates off the cars is at risk. I have a stack of them but I took advantage of unusual situtions that blurred the source of the plates. Heck, I even have a slash plate like the inspection shops do.

[MasterZenki]

Ill be coming there for 90days minimum but parents and sister looks to be stuck there for atleast 7 years...

TMS - where in japan?

[wa-chiss]

don't forget to get some gauge clusters. Hey, I wouldn't mind a Japanese midget

no ****i had to fill out a police report that my front plate was "lost" when i "accidentally" had it in with my TMO stuff

and it was pure luck that a translator was there that day to help me get the job done, my japanese and Okan are piss-poor (and i was there for 2 years)

edit> also, most of the small shops didnt have parts for a CA (when i was there)theres some, like blue eyes (was that their name?) little place kinda near water, bunch of parts cars on the roof

Some ideas of what I would be on the lookout for. First I would make friends with a US military person so they could possibly help you ship the items via base.

New:-CA oil pumps -CA injector O-Rings (unless CA18DE units are identical)-S13 rain/wind guards for side windows (they've GOTTA be cheaper than on ebay)-IACV's (I think that's the part that's broken on everyones motorsets...or is it the PCV valve?)

Junkyard/secondhand shop:-Splitfire coil packs (skyline 6 packs ok)-Mint condition R32 shift knob (I will buy this from you)-S15 HLSD + output shafts -other aftermarket 1.5-2 way diffs-aftermarket CA18 cam pairs-550cc and up injectors (CA compatible) -Nice used aftermarket (or OEM R32/34) steering wheels-camber plates-CA18 specific flywheels/multiple plate clutches-GTR fuel pumps-Good condition turbos S14/RNN14/Avenir-N60/N62 MAFs-Used turbo timers with nissan plug-Apexi Super Intake including cast metal elbow to connect filter to turbo-Rear Type X skirts-Rear Kouki Tails-Nice used aftermarket radiators-Set of Ab Flug Grim headlights

Non Nissan:-Complete motherboard(s) for Taito's Battle Gear 3 or 4, preferably 4. (my roommate will buy this from you if its complete)

No, I dont need any....thanks tho. I just figure they are a used part you can get for dirt cheap from a junkyard and always find a buyer willing to pay top dollar for them (ebay).

Whats a slash plate?

[themadscientist]

It is a special license plate with a red diagonal stripe used to drive cars to inspection, kind of like a dealer tag.
