View Full Version : What would you bring back with you (After being in japan)

I am due to come back to the states in early 2009 after about 10 years here in Okinawa. Anyways, I will be sending a container with my car in it and possibly a second container with extra parts for me to play with and use (cranks, blocks, heads, Extra Body parts and a rotary or two for another lame idea I have). Anyways, I was thinking about throwing in some s14 SR's, some R33 5 Speeds and maybe some wheels to fill in the space and later on sell off. I am not looking to get rich off of a shipment of stinking car parts but it might offset the cost of shipping my car a little bit if everything works well.

If you had the space and a little money to front, what would you put in the box??? Maybe later on I can use this thread to determine what kind of crap I buy and bring over.

DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A THREAD ABOUT IMPORTING CARS YOU CAN SEARCH AND FIND THOSE ANSWERS.

i expected to see like 12 posts that said something to the effect of "drugged schoolgirls"...wierd...anyways yeah, lots of random little accessories and doodads that way you can cram the crates full and triple your money when you get back. on a side note, if you want to cram some toyota corsa parts in there for me (badges, interior bits, tail lights et c.) i'd make sure you made a profit :D

Thanks for the input. Sounds like the shopping trips are going to be a little bit of fun. Oh and uh drugged schoolgirls will not live long enough in a dark container with little food or water. Maybe we can get some Amejo's and Kokujo's to fly back to the states thinking they are going to meet fine affluent American men, only to have their dreams crushed when their "sponsor" meets them at the airport and gives them a list of their daily "duties".

SexPanda
12-02-2007, 07:12 PM
Id totally get some interior parts. Seats especially. Then some little nick nacks like 5 lug hubs, LSDs the stuff people pay shitloads for. And the hubs and lsd's arent even that big. Grab a dozen, make a few grand.

and PM me if you get some seats, an LSD for the silvia, and some 5 lug hubs.

oh and some drugged japanese school girls. Make sure you poke holes in the top of the container, and throw in some top ramen and water.

cronux
12-02-2007, 07:12 PM
180sx seats, kouki tails, steering wheels, silvia and 180sx emblems, factory aeros, every badging you can think of, engines, coilovers. basically anything that is rare in amerca but common in japan.

2.multiple s15 and s13 silvia conversions (to sell )
3.TAKATA GREEN TE37s. (ive wanted these rims forever)
4.a suitable jdm woman.

I cant belive nobody said the biggest selling items - T28 turbos off s15 SR's! w/ under 30k miles on them! well thats what I would do and then - I would make a trip there every year to continue the process :fawk:

SexPanda
12-02-2007, 08:23 PM
eh well i kinda need a manifold and wastegate and vacuum lines and all that stuff to require a turbo...

But if you do happen to get a few t28's, i'd buy one, as long as the shaftplay isnt horrible... and if it is, i'll rebuild it. Just cut me a deal.

most users upgrade their stock T25 set-up for the T28 so all is swappable

FaLKoN240
12-02-2007, 08:29 PM
If you seriously want to offset the price of shipping stuff back for yourself, you should seriously consider interior stuff from Japan.

Steering wheels, shift knobs, weird JDM knick knacks.

Wheels are also good, but only if you get them for cheap and they are in demand.

Good wheels to bring back are discontinued 17s and 18s with good offsets, those will sell fast.

Tranny's (R33 and maybe an S15 or two)
About 6 JDM Tyte Chicks with nice grills
A few S15 Turbines
Some Nice Aero
Rare Shit
Diffs

Exterior Parts


For me I plan on
My S15
My engine and drivetrain
2 Extra RB26's

You know whats rarer? Somebody said a JDM girl with nice grills...THERE IS SUCH A THING?!?! :duh: Its like trying to find a japanese girl with a D cup...its possible but you wont find them...

Anyways, youre best bet is to bring back stock aero, easiest would be S14 bumpers and skirts since theyre pretty easy to find. Then start picking up some skyline brakes, low offset rims, honestly tho...hit up HAS, you can probably find alot of stuff from them that you can pick up and bring back. You can tack some nice premiums on alot of the stuff they have there..

12-03-2007, 12:06 PM

To stay slightly on-topic...the Attain gauge holder that mounts onto the steering column. So far I only know that RHD Japan can get them.
