I am going to Tokyo next month and I am trying to think of things to bring back. Obviously, size is a restriction since I can only fit it in my suitcase or carry on.

What do you guys suggest? I might be able to bring you something too. Let me know.

If you guys know of any good shops around Tokyo, let me know.

 

you can always ship it to yourself?

 

however, would the shipping be more than just buying it in the states? i will definitely check that option out.

i should go to a junk yard and find a AYC axle and computer. that would be great.

 

if u want S AYC.. u have to get ECU computer for AYC, Smaller fuel tank (us version dont fit JDM S-AYC or AYC) , AYC that all.. i belive so

 

thanks for the info. that sounds like too much work

 

ya alot tuner tried.. i know some people did swap and work fine.. some failed.. some perfect.. yes it got alot work on it..

like i did My Headlights... I conversion MR headlight and HID/Fog harness and etc swap into my GSR

 

bring back some jdm tight parts...some bling bling for your engine bay....like mabe intake, radiator cap, oil cap, valve cover top...ect....stuff like that...

 

Why dont you bring back a sun fuel magnet ionizer thingy?

 

i was just about to say that! i bet you upgarage has at least the AYC/ACD ecu! and im sure the axle wouldn't be too hard to find. im sure you could find an evo to gut the tank out of as well

 

any specific brands? i am not familiar with all the cool jdm brands.

 

wtf is that? got a pic?

 

I just moved here from Japan, I was there for 5 years. You will not find just random junk yards with evo's just chillin, your best bet is going to second hand car shops like Yellow hat and Up Garage. These places have tons of used parts for decent prices, but I can honestly say Japan is not cheap and its a common misconception that everything is cheaper since its made there, and this is far from the truth. GL thgough.

 

thanks for the heads up. i will check those 2 places out.

 

the most common place in tokyo to check out would probably be Super Autobacs. there's one in tokyo bay (odaiba) that's pretty big.
depending on where you'll be staying, it can take up to an hour to get there.
here's a suggested route .. (google a map of tokyo to get familiar)
catch the yurikamome monorail bound for tokyo bay/odaiba
get off at ariake station and walk to kokusai tenjijo station (5min.)
catch the rinkai f.u.k.utoshin subway to shinonome station
exit north/west, walk under freeway, and it'll be around the corner.
(sometimes you can just follow the exhaust sound of cars being tuned!)
don't forget to checkout the parking lot if you go .. lots of sick cars!
good luck!

 

yo, try to hit the suburbans like osaka and etc. i talked to my friend, she tells me it should be much lower priced at suburbans than "the city"
u lucky man, business trip?
