I seen them on a Hachi that this guy from Japan owned.
He was from Japan, and he got those security lugs from Japan.
I cannot find them ANYWHERE.
If you can locate a source of them, I would be happy to compensate you for them!

Wow!!!!!! It will take me a while to do the searching
They also have a parts magazine here called GOO Parts so I will pick one of those up tonight and go through it. It's about a 4 inch think book!!! Gods gift to the scavenger! BBS wheels are on everything here so I would think they are dime a dozen. There is a branch of the Hard Off store here called Parts Off Should bring out some goodies I hope. FYI....My 7 is in the states
So I am looking for stuff for me 2. I would get one here but it's hard to pull the kid around in it & the AF only allows you 6 wheels registered per military member

How do you like Japan. I was stationed in Iwakuni. Didn't have a 7 then but wished I did. I could brought home some cheap parts. Sasabo is the place to be, or Kadena in Okinawa.

I think I'm going to buy an FC for my last year here and build my motor before I leave so that I can throw it in my stateside FC. Blew my motor before I came here If you search NeilTII you can learn more about it all. My FC was one of a kind! I did own a Nissan Pulsar GTiR while being here in Japan though. Nice but not for me.

I don't like the SSR Star Magna design, although it is an old-school wheel - used to have a lot of Hondas down here that used to run that wheel. :P

Why bother to go ask someone from Japan to find them for you?

Update guys. I went to two different places this weekend and didn't find much. Found a bunch af BBS wheels but they come on everything over here so I'm gonna have to check to find ones off of a 7. Here's what I found: 2 aftermarket clutches, HKS oil cooler kit ($300) Trust oil cooler kit ($250), HKS oil cooler kit ($400), 2 Tial sport wastegates ($350) A bunch of HKS turbines, Side skirts ($130), Some exhaust systems but your probably better off getting that in the states. Everything I found was aftermarket. I talked to one of my Japanese FC buddies and he said to look on Yahoo auctions Japan to find stock parts for cheap. What I do is use Alta Vista Babel Fish to translate the Yahoo JP web page to find what I'm looking for. The wife doesnt like going through the auctions too much unless its for something she likes
I don't need anything, but I applaud you for being such a awesome rotorhead. If 25% of the members cared as much as you do for the 7 the forum would be a much better place. You rock.

I just saw one seat on Yahoo JP Auctions. I can get a Yahoo account over here but it costs money. I'm not sure how much.....I'll have to ask the wife. I plan on getting an account of my own so I can start buying up stuff for myself I let you guys know how that goes.

I am writing these all down and looking but I havn't seen anything yet. I found a few of the items on Yahoo auctions. I am planning on going to Reaction Racing (Rotary shop) here and I'll see what they have too. Their web page is a little bare to say the least. One of the JN FC buddies of mine recommends them. I will make a trip there and another place after my daughter is born (due the 8th of May). After that I can travel a little further without so much worry. My buddy went to another used parts garage and said it seems as though they caitor to 7's. I have yet to go there.
