thats a huge shift knob...ill keep that in mind though anyone else ?

[wickedpelf]

this may be kinda dumb but a real "JDM" licence plate...

[ForsakenTH]

he would have to steal that...but ya that would be cool...why not a NISMO harness or steering wheel. you could also get an ECU if you lookin to spend more money...something like a MINES or Top Secret. Guages and controlers are easy and small too. Project Mu Brake pads, NISMO brake lines, Craft Square mirrors, grill...use your imagination

A couple of S15 HLSD's in the suitcase shouldn't weigh more than 300lbs Of course, airport security might be a little freaked with two large metalic bomb shaped objects passing through the scanners

[Twinchy]

i wish she can bring me back a S15 HLSD.......but i know that wont happen...... am not to sure if she is willing to steal a license plate but ill ask her.what about some magazines ? what are some good magazines in japan ?

[gogg]

You must get a copy of Club Legacy, and anything with VIP cars...

Tell her to go to Up Garage and just about anything there she feels like carrying should be good.

tell her to pick up some candy! holy crap man, i used to live in japan when i was little and japanese candy is the best! tell her to stock up.

i wouldn't know what to tell her to pick up though. does she know much about cars?

[Twinchy]

naw she doesnt really know anything about cars. thats why i kinda dont want her to get something really expensive that she doesnt even know what it is and end up bringing me back something else.But where is Up Garage at ?

[Ubernoober]

Hello Kitty key chain.

Used, Unwashed, Sweaty School-Girl Panties! They sell them in vending machines, but if she could get one fresh, more power to her!

They've got quite a plethora of "adult" items to choose from, so let your imagination go wild... chances are, they'll probably carry it.

Hope this doesn't count as advertising, but for reference, check out jlist.com for a bunch of JDM crap.

You might be interested in high-end electronics, as a lot of components such as car stereos, cell phones, etc. are sold exclusively in Japan! Don't forget Anime too.

Mail order bride perhaps? No?

P.S. Not sure if you're a fan of airsoft or not, but Japan has some great manufacturers (Tokyo Marui, Sun Project, Maruzen, etc...). Might have some trouble with customs/security though

[Twinchy]

i was thinkin about the cell phone thing.......but am not sure if it will work with my service here though.does anyone know if a cellphone from japan will work over in the US ?yeah i just checked jlist.com i got some ideas on what i'll tell her to get me.

[st33f]

some option dvds/tapes... and goto upgaragea NARDI there is like 35$ -

ill be there in january... for tokyo auto

[ForsakenTH]

if she asks the sellers about the cel phones they should tell you if it can...if you dont have the GSM chip for you plan though it wont work till you get a plan that does.

Option and Option 2 Mags are good buys too...i think they are 500yen. upgarage has a site...google it.

[sXi]

I would ask her to get some zenki clear lenses.. light as feather.

[st33f]

upgarage.co.jp

and they sell option and tengokus dvds and vhs

get em all! and rip em and ill host em

Whatever you do DO NOT request that beyond retarded bubble shift knob. Last time I was in Japan my friend searched everywhere and bought one for way too much so he could "look JDM" and in reality with it in his 86 he looked like a moron. He quickly changed it out for a momo after he realized that just because it came from Japan, doesn't make it look good. His shifting throw also sucked the D of life from what he told me.

[Chingon]

bov? Gauge? wastegate?

[Twinchy]

i see yeah i cant picture myself having a pink bubble shift knob in my car.....

[GrilledCheese33]

come on now, lets be realistic. hmmmmmmm I think you should have her bring back real badges off a skyline and a real jdm licsense plate, as mentioned before!

if the phone is unlocked it will work with any provider, as long as it runs on the same network. make sure to find out if its a GSM, TDMA, CDMA, etc (im not to sure on what they use in japan.) if the phone is not unlocked that is fine too, most techs can unlock a phone for a decent price (the one i send my customers to charges $25 and only if its successful.) good luck.
