I don't think they made one in Japanese, but that would be pretty... well... Bitchin.

No parts needed here. Have fun in Japan!

jessezx

well I plan to frequent the local parts houses and junkyards looking for rare or hard to come by parts. I will update every now and again with pictures so just let me know lol

Be sure to pick some aero up. Anything that isn't available here in the states so we can get some molds going! Lips spoilers side skirts etc.
And some strawberry kit kats.
Thank you.

they have strawberry kit kats?! i don't like waffers they have a funny texture but thats good for japan. and yeah you should ****** up a proudear Z31 front end they would sell for big bucks here in the states!

hoov100

good luck with that. From what I have been told hard to find parts over here are just as if not more rare over there, especially for older cars.

tonsoffun300zx

thats very true i remember reading about the fairlady z v6 turbo emblems from japan being super hard to find plus with the tsunami hitting and all. but bring back the kit kats i wanna try one

jessezx

well im not really looking for anything, but what i am asked to find, im just exploring really finding what i can. Its really for any z i just want to get more stuff out there. So anything even if its small cant hurt

BlueKitsune

I'd like a Japanese plate tagged for a Fairlady S130 2.8L lol Now that I bet will be impossible to find

I was stationed in Japan from 2002 - 2006. Japan is awesome, get out and enjoy the culture. If you are looking for car stuff hit an up garage.

jessezx

ya i planned on it i heard about up garage and saw the inside of one they look like they have a lot of parts

f1race79

Dual cam head for L6???

tonsoffun300zx

good luck even people in japan can't get those things but if you found one it would be an investment but i believe the heads cost some crazy amount like 20K because there were only like 8 sets made but correct me if im wrong.

mrprofile

did the Nissan factory survive the tsunami?

jjones

I believe you are right. I have a magazine somewhere with an article about them.

83turbo280zx

would you be able to get ahold of some JDM s130 fairlady emblems? if so how much shipped to 76006?

jessezx

i will look for the embloms if i can leave base when i get there will let you know

sonethirty

THIS. Please look and see if you can get a fairlady one for the console. I like my Turbo one, but if i could get my paws on the fairlady one I would flip out.

83turbo280zx

yes sounds like the most rare piece lol. And i forgot to mention i have the turbo 280zx.

r2l

I've read that they have a better selection of coilovers that are direct fit in JDM land...I'd be interested in a set of those...

jessezx

yes your right on the dhc heads there were 9 made and i know where three are some were destroyed in racing if i where to find one it would be something i would try and get a mold made from but thats even if i can find one lol

will look for the suspension parts just found out i rate a vehicle thinkin of getting a 260 maybe definitely an s30 though

tonsoffun300zx

i heard that the good molds were destroyed but i also heard they may be reproducing them so we can only wait and hope or just do the ka24de frankenstien dohc head thing.

jessezx

dear lord even finding a junk yard is becoming a challenge and ive seen so many r32/r33's its come to atleast 4-5 a day crazy

It is VERY difficult getting little stuff for older Z's in Japan. A few places that specialize in Z's can source stuff, but you're not going to find them in junkyards anymore. Those days are long gone! Hell, just finding an S-13 Silvia or 180SX is starting to become problematic. My last time living in Japan, I saw ONE S130 in a junkyard...and it disappeared quickly. Yahoo Auctions is your best bet...start studying Katakana & Hiragana so you can search intelligently. And yes, there was a Japanese speaking bitching betty in some of the early 80's Nissan's, but my Dad's rhd 79 ZX that we brought back didn't have it. I lived there as a kid (middle school) from 82-85, and again from 2000-2006. Was trying to get back, but Uncle Sam has other plans...
