Visited Kameari in Japan!

[RS02]

Hi everybody Lance here. I've been in Japan recently and visited Kameari's shop. Got my wallet empty and time to go back.

They have a couple of parts like the 2400 valve cover and JDM taillight for sale. I've never seen some of the parts in the US. Overall a nice trip spotting tons of awesome cars!

I'm not sure if anyone want me to do a write up about where did I go... I kinda feeling like doing one. Tons of pictures and Japan definitely have a interesting culture.

Please do a write up!  We would all love to read it and see pictures of your adventures in Japan.  Doing the 10 day trip with the ZCCA to Japan is a bucket list item of mine but would also like to go and explore on my own.  Interesting that Kameari has a 2400 valve cover for sale as that would be a US spec VC.  I believe the JDM version should say 2000.  I may be wrong so anyone that knows better can correct me.  Thank you for posting the pictures and info!

The Japanese market got the choice of L24-engined S30-series Zs when they were added to the domestic lineup in late September 1971, installed in the HS30-S 'Fairlady 240Z', HS30 'Fairlady 240Z-L' and HS30-H 'Fairlady 240ZG'. They were discontinued in late 1973 following the effects of the Yom Kippur War, the OPEC oil embargo and the consequent 'Oil Shock' in Japan.

Awesome!!  Thanks for sharing.  I love Japan... would have made a visit to meet some local guys in Tokyo but I was only there for 2 days earlier this year.  Would love to see a write up if you get a chance.  You can post it here or in our blogs section.  Cheers!

Some guys have all the luck. I would like the adjustable camshaft sprocket myself. Glad you had a good time. What did you think about the food?

I ordered the cam sprocket last year and got it installed. It's sad that they don't punch or engrave a mark for lining up cam position like the factory one... And the chain is unmarked too. As far as food I am Chinese so definitely fit right up my alley. Don't know what u guys are doing with all the burgers and cheese... .

The whole point of the vernier adjustable cam sprocket is that you set the cam timing to the cam card, using a degree wheel and pointer on the crank and a DTI on the valve spring cap.

The only burgers I eat are the ones made on the grill at home. Cheese BINDS me up so I stay away from that also. But can you say PUU PUU PLATTER! Me love PUU PUU PLATTER! YUM, YUM

I did set the timing using a indicator and a degree wheel. But it would be much easier if they punch one on the chain so I don't have to make a mark using a paint pen...
