Hi all! I'm spending most of March in Japan, and as I'm slowly restoring my 240z, figured there may well be some treasure troves of parts hidden away somewhere I can get to. Either that or a friendly enthusiast who might be good to meet!

If you know of anywhere or anyone, I'd love recommendations or introductions.

@kats might have some suggestions?

Things in Japan are not as 'obvious' to an outsider as they might be in NA and Europe.  I agree with CO, in that Kays may prove invaluable.  However, you need to be specific about what it is that you're looking for.

@kats hopefully will reach out to you.

Go to the Nissan museum wherever it is. All I have seen were the pictures and it's fantastic. Kats is a pilot so he's probably pretty busy but maybe...?

Have fun and try not to spend all your money in the dirty panties vending machines. That's what I'd do.

 

I am so sorry that I didn’t know I was mentioned here. Goldair, did you enjoyed your trip in Japan? To find some right places for enthusiasts like you and us is a bit difficult. Yes Nissan Yokohama HQ is the good to start, easy access and a lot of cars on the display, with Starbucks.

Visiting popular vintage car shop or parts vender is also nice, if you are lucky you will be able to see a car restoration in progress.

I don’t want people to rush into a restoration shop but if someone serious let me know. A Z432-R is now on the zig for its restoration.

siteunseen, I didn’t know there is a vending machine other than beverage, Cup noodle.

I wish Nissan could place small parts vending machines all over the country!

Hi @kats! I’m actually in Japan again right now, and will be another time a month from now. Work has brought me here a lot.

If you are available on Instagram or WhatsApp, I’d love to say hello!

Wow! Let’s meet in Tokyo some time !
