I think he is asking where he can purchase the turbos in Japan. Try a Mazda dealership, I don't think the car dealerships try to rip people off so much as they do here in the USA. Or contact JT from JT-Imports.

Shoot me a Email with your VIN in ( the shop need it to order parts from Mazda or even Tuners these days) and exactly what you need.

I have a friend who owns a tuning shop over there, they have built D1 Race Fc/Fd before and im getting a bunch of stuff from them.

They are based in Tokyo so if you wanted to stop by he may be able to source them for you. JP stuff is general cheapest you can get depending on the Dollar to Yen Exchange rate.

Nico, down the road I'll be getting in contact with you too.

Next summer I intend to visit Japan for a few weeks, enjoy the area and maybe collect some good Rex stuff.

No Probs, Just let me know what you need and give em a fair bit of time to get the parts in. Shoot me a PM as well, as that mail box fills up with so much **** i have no interest in i sometimes miss stuff.

If you want the addresses of some of the more famous tuning shops i can let you have em no probs some a very hard to find in tokyo. When i went to MINES 4 years ago it was a scrubby old shed down so back alley with biker gang guys hanging around, thought they were gonna get all Michael Douglas on my sorry white ***.


Peace

Nico

can come pretty much whenever I want. I want to find a shop near Narita Airport. My intentions were to buy the turbos the same day I arrive and catch a later flight back to Atlanta.
I am going to put the turbos in my checked luggage ( take a empty suitcase with me) and keep them with me. So If you know of any performance shops near there let me know.

RE-Amemiya is the closest, but I 10000000% doubt they will help or can help with that.

If your buying original parts you need MAZDA, I cant think of one close by there, but then again I dont go over there everyday. The lead time on those turbos will be at least 1 week after the order is made, no Mazda here stocks them.
