Tokyo trip
 

Hi all, will be going to Tokyo next month for work, near Shibuya train station.
Never been before so should be interesting, my questions are:
Is it cheaper for parts over in Tokyo?
Where would I go to get things?
And what should I get? :)
Also any other non related useful info is always appreciated.

Thanks guys

Not sure about where to get parts from, but you're gonna be in a bloody good location to get around. So much to see and do over there. Soak in the atmosphere and culture as much as you can, and you'll have a great time. Food is simply awesome!

The thing about car parts is that even if you can get it cheaper over there, carrying them back or shipping them back can be a challenge. But if you're into jap anime sub culture and shit, there are some great places to get heaps of cool toys and figures/figurines.

Thanks Fizz, hopefully I get enough free time :)

visit the Shibuya Toyopet dealer which has an Area86 section.

Shibuya Toyopet is great.
Also try Toyota Megaweb at Pallet Town on Odaiba Island, the Area 86 was under construction when I went at Xmas so should be finished now. There is also the Toyota History Garage there too, definitely worth a visit.

Lunch at Mos Burger

Enjoy your time out there!!! 2 places to eat that are a must CoCo's and PepperLunch. I spent 3 years out there, great place to visit! Dont be afraid to take the train...its crazy easy to use.

gotta love Kara age :D

try and find a Super Autobacs (website store finder) they will have all the stuff you can jam in your suitcase to bring home

Yes but good stuff are bloody expensive. Some stuff are more exxy then ordering thru Jesse Streeter and have the stuff shipped over.....

indeed they are buy you pay for what you get....I loves the good stuff

As an example, endless brake pad full set is 45,000 yen at Super Autobacs. Streeter price is around 30,000 for item and around 10,000-12,000 yen for his commission and postage. I couldn't be bothered carrying a few kg around Tokyo....
