Finally in Japan

Javon · May 25th, 2003, 09:35 PM

OK, I am finally in Japan and I will be here for the untill May 2005. I can't believe how many Skylines and Silvias that I see on a daily basis. I am stationed in Yokosuka about an hour from Tokyo.

My question is... Does anyone know where the hell I should go to find junkyards or any performance shops? What city here in Japan is known for that kind of stuff? If anyone knows, hit me up.

I ENVY YOU. Thats a long ass time man. Sorry I cant help you with your question, but is it like a dream come true to be over there? What did you feel like when you first saw a skyline? Did you have the urge to touch it

?

Not sure you can get SE-R parts, don't believe that the SE-R exists in Japan, maybe mistaken. Go into Tokyo, I'm sure they have shops, I'll have to get back to you, have a frined that was in Japan that my help you out.

Go to Yokohama. It's not that far from Yokusuka. That's where most of the tuner shops located. Junkyards are all over the place but you have to drive around to find it.
I'll assume that you are in the navy? There are a lot of guys out there that can help you out. Ask how to get to UP-Garage. If you find it, make a list of what they have for our cars or 240sx (s13and s14). Then, let us know. Our car is a combination of primera, GTi-R and pulsar VZ-R. If you have any more questions just ask.

thanks for the feedback fellas. I really appreciate it. I will go to Yokohama this weekend and see what I can find. I will post what I find. I won't be greedy, I'll share.

But when I first saw a fully decked out Skyine, I almost pissed on myself. I was the most beautiful machine that I had ever seen. It blew me away. I just had to touch it. I had to sneak to it because these Japanese guys were watching me like hawks. But I snuck over to it and peeked inside it. It was so nice. I see at least 10 each day. They are everywhere. Also Silvia's too. I will soon buy a digital camera and take pictures of everything. Speaking of cars, they have some funny looking cars over here.

my step dad is in the marines he said they have a batman van over there

Javon · May 28th, 2003, 02:50 AM

well I don't know about the batman van thing....but I saw a Pulsar Gti-R and was thinking about buying it for the time that I am here and then when its time to leave, strip it down and put the things in my classic Se-R.

Do anyone know if everything will be direct fits. I saw that the front seats are the same but the rear seats are nicer than the ones in my classic Se-R, will they fit? What about the engine? The power windows? All of that kind of stuff...

ga16det · May 28th, 2003, 11:03 AM

everything down the AWD system will fit in your classic because there both b-13's!!!, if you get a price on a b-13 sunny gts front bumper let me know how $ to get it to me! please!!!

Dammit Koopa! Stop eating all those waffles.... they're clouding your brain.

And Javon, best of luck over there in the Land of the Rising Sun. We are all envious of your daily eye candy.

sentra2nr · May 28th, 2003, 05:36 PM

Got to get yourself to Shibuya-Ku Kind of a shopping district, but they have some nice tuning shops there. Or at least they used to......

Pacman · May 28th, 2003, 06:33 PM

I know they have SR20's in Japan, what do you think is in the Bluebird SSS and Silvia? I'm talking about exterior, interior, and suspension parts.
