Places for a car guy to go in Japan?

[sakijo]

IF you have time . . . Toyota Museum in Aichi Prefecture. Nissan Parts - Yokohama Nissan Parts Warehouse. They also have one in Sagami somewhere. There is a big Nissan Auto Mall in Sagami where the Nissan Sagami factory once stood. There is a Skyline museum in Nagano Prefecture. Rubber Soul in Fujisawa (parts). Victory 50/Uchida Motor Works in Tokyo.

Wish I were you . . . . .

Last time I was in Japan I got a tour of one of the Nissan plats. I called corporate HQ in California and they put me in touch with Japan and they set me up. I don't know if they still do that, but it would be worth a try. Don't call the 1-800-NISSAN1 number. Look up the listing for the actual corporate offices...

Not convenient to get to but is close to Nissan plant at Tochigi. The ultimate club is run by the owner and they host Z car Fiesta, pretty much the Japanese National Convention.

Thanks to Babalouie, here are pictures from the 2008 Shizuoka Nostalgic Car Festival in Shizuoka, Japan! There was a man who set up shop at the rear of the show who had a TON of NOS 240z parts. He had oem nissan fender mirrors, zg flares, and ONE set of the headlight covers which I am going to attempt to pick up next weekend at his shop in Tokyo! In addition to patch panels, wiring harnesses, aftermarket zg front bumper, you name it..
