So I'm stationed in Okinawa, JP. What parts should I be looking for so I can hook up my S13 in the States. No I am not bringing a car back, and no I am not interested in the Skyline. Just want to know what awesome rare parts to look for.

if keeping a 180sx front (popups)

Front and side markers, Digital Climate control unit with subharness and blend/mix door motor, kouki tails, rain guards, couple sets of wheels, those JDM steering wheels that cost like $150-300 over here, manual seatbelts and interior pieces to convert, power folding mirrors and stuff like that.

You should also send me a DCC subharness and blend mix door motor.

Honestly, ANYTHING that's not USDM or just cheaper over there. Steering wheels, dashs, engines (seriously, almost ANY engine that runs), harnesses, any external lights, HLSDs, etc. Stationed in Okie and being involved in the import scene, you stand to make a good chunk of money.
This goes for all USDM cars that have a JDM counterpart. Talk to one of your buddies stateside and set up an agreement to ship, hold, sell and share. Even if it's *shudder* honda parts.
Good luck and good hunting.
