Visiting Japan - Parts Recommendations?
 

Hey all! In a month, I will be visiting Japan for the second time, but it will be my first time since owning my BRZ. (Will be in Tokyo mainly, but spending time in Osaka and Kyoto as well)

Searching through similar postings, I didn't see many specific recommendations as to what parts would be worth picking up while I'm there. Sadly, I won't be able to haul back anything large like an exhaust or wheels. If anyone has recommendations though on Japan-exclusive/rare parts that are portable and would be cheaper to buy there than in the states, I'd love to hear them!

JDM? w00t!! Grab everything

And here I am in Japan, trying to find an american supercharger....

Nothing really special for this car over here. Spend your money on geek shit in Akihabara and flip the stuff when you get home for a nice profit.

What this guy said.

People like me will spend $$$ on just about anything anime related.. for the right price :D

Haha then it looks like I'll be doing just that then! Except for the, you know, flipping part.. cuz otaku lyfe lol. :D

There's no specific recommendations because we have no idea what you want or like.

First thing I would get is JDM G Shock.

Haha sorry to be vague. I guess I'm looking for cosmetic bits (exterior, interior, engine bay, STI/tS bits are always welcome), suspension, any JDM accessories.

Essentially anything anyone believes I would be missing out on otherwise, I'd love to hear. They don't necessarily have to be limited to my taste because as far as I know, I might be swayed by others' recommendations :P

Wasn't even aware this was a thing, cool stuff! Will definitely be looking into this.

EAT LOTS GOOD FOOD.

no advise on parts since... i know I'm just gonna go check yahoo auction for parts if i'm there. For you i don't know.

Oh, you can grab some motor oil made for our car. I always wanted to try the wakos 86 5W-30

Thanks for the recommendation! And food is definitely priority #1 for me on this trip.

IMO it's a waste of time on this platform. Parts are easily availiable stateside and if your shipping a bumper back home your still going to be paying a ton because of the size. Unless it is a hard-to-find part I cannot see much benefit. Enjoy yourself instead. 2/cents
