Headed to Japan to visit a friend. What do you guys want?
Alrighty guys, I'm going to Japan in a few weeks to visit a friend of mine since elementary school. So this trip is basically leisure...but he's a car buff too so we're going shopping. I'm gonna be getting some pretty damn cool parts that I've been saving for so just wondering if you guys wanted anything while I'm out there. Some of the parts I'm gonna be shopping for are the new endless coilovers (basically zeals but with baby blue coils), uras transmission and motor mounts, and possibly a j-blood body kit for my ride. So let me know if there's anything you guys want while i'm out there and I'll do my best to get them for you guys.

Hi guys, im new to this baord..
well.. not really, i used to be on this board a long time ago. i think my username was _300zx_TT. cant remember.. i lost my net connection for a long while and never came back
anyways...
180fan, if you dont mind shopping for board noobs (im not a 240 noob if thats what ur thinking), im looking for the FET Gold Iridium bulbs for the square light (kakume) s13 silvia headlights.
im not sure if they come in H3c model, but i hear u can wire up an H4 to be H3c, its done on the ACura TL forums alot supposedly.
they are bulbs like that of the porsche gt3's in lemans with the bright yellow headlights, except they have a greenish sparkle to them.. im finding the blue xenon lights too ghey now, people are taking them way too far and way too blue. these ones are closer to stock, but brighter and a bit different.
ive only ever seen one pair on ebay, and the seller hasnt replied back to me for availability of more of the same bulbs.
allllllso.. i was wondering if you could get the Silvia S13 inner window trims. they are Shades with small fins in them and say SILVIA in green letters near the bottom. i think they light up, but im not sure. they were a stock option on the s13 in its final years.
but the one thing i am dying for is the Silvia Turbo Timer. its a stock unit that is disquised as a console switch with a picture of a turbo (similar to that of the boost gauge on a z32) and it has 1 and 3, or 3 and 5 minute setting, cant recall... its a rare item, ive only seen one on ebay, but the guy from Jarco Inc. says he has plenty.. but he doesnt wanna ship to Canada..
if you cant find those, email me with a price for the Square headlights and corner lights with matching silvia front grill. if you cant find the grill, ill take the squares and the corners as a pack.
I live about 5 minutes out of Toronto, and i'll pay for everything -provided the price is right. email me while you are there if you happen to come across this stuff please.. [email protected]is my email.
p.s - the turbo timer is most important

91-94 half amber half clear turnsignals. And some real 180sx floormats that arent torn/ripped(grey). Also a Silvia steering wheel. And some 180sx quarter glass's. Email me a price for these items to [email protected] and Ill pay shipping to 45248(cincy, Oh) Thanks, PS Im real interested so get back to me ASAP.
Yeah I've asked about the kouki's. They're not all that cheaper there than they are there.
BomexS13, I left you the link on one of my threads in the B/S/T board but the thread got deleted for some reason. I'll do my best to try to find enough of those dual color turn signals for you guys while I'm out there.
Xyster, you'll have to be a bit more specific than "anything". I just don't wanna get burned like I did here when I bought a bunch of parts and had some buddies back out on me so I got shafted with a bunch of parts I had no need for. Then when I try to sell em on the B/S/T I get screwed cuz someone keeps deleting my threads.
Goomba, I'm not bringing any tools to cut out the 180sx windows nor am I gonna buy a couple tools to cut them out. The screwed in, bolted in, snapped in, or new parts are what I'm basically gonna fish for.
Daemos, I'll look for those coilovers for you. I've been looking for Ohlins for a while before, but couldn't find them. So I'm on the hunt instead for Endless or Zeal.
It looks like alot of people are looking for stock parts that are found in Japan only cars. So I'll be on the hunt for those kinda parts in general. But from what I'm guessing, from the amount of turn signal lights that are being sold on ebay, that the two tone signal lights might be a bit harder to find than I'd hope for.

hey can you get me a pair of the jdm rear lights for a 91 fastback?and since you like in san jose MAYBE i can go pick it up since i live in LA...if not then shipping wouldnt be that much of a problem right? im only going to buy if what youre bringing is cheaper than what they sell here. im thinking it would be cheaper to buy it there in japan since they actually have it and make it there right???
KK sounds good man email me at [email protected] shoot me a price and perhaps a pic? thanks man

180fan,
pignose bumper (rectangle) 1/2 amber and 1/2 white turn signals and 180sx/Silvia floormats that are in decent condition (no rips, tears, or major stains)
i live a little north of san francisco so i could meet you up if you get these parts, lemme know... [email protected]
haha, new driver sticker, i'd like one of those too if possible

Alrighty it seems like I'm also getting alot of requests for AV stars and school girls. 1. The AV stars I can't get probably because they're owned already by the Yakuza (LOL). 2. the school girls I probably won't be able to get since I'd probably be only able to promise one a green card, not 3 or 4 (nor am I Mormon). So that rules that one out. Anything else aside from the turn signal lights and what not? Bomexs13 for sure I'll get you your side markers since I promised you that a while back. Everyone else, I'll look for those turn signal markers but not guaranteed to get like 12+ s13's at one junk yard since I'm not too sure how many yards if any we'll be checking out. My trip is basically like a tourist thing, buying new parts that aren't available here, and of course chillin with my buddy of 16+ years.

I'll do my best to bring over as many kouki sets as I can. That was a bit of something for me on my list too, but an ideal situation for me was to find a set of oneline taillights. The new sets there aren't cheaper than they are here. They're actually about 400-450 new in Japan. I've asked, trust me.
The GT-R's brembo calipers I'll be hunting for too. I figure these might be a bit rare as other silvia/180sx fanboys there are going after these too. But if I find em, barrigas14 you'll get first dibs since I forgot about those on my list and you called em first.
Steering wheels and stuff, I'll keep an eye out for those, but I'm not sure if I'm going to have access to a wheel puller for those. So no guarantees on that.
