sakijo Posted March 8, 2008 Share #13 Posted March 8, 2008 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 . . . . .

Ttiger Posted March 8, 2008 Share #14 Posted March 8, 2008 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...

wishihada240z Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share #18 Posted March 29, 2008 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..http://public.fotki.com/Shizuoka-Nostalgic-Car-Festival/2008-shizuoka-nosta/I am also attending the D1 Grand Prix tomorrow at Ebisu Circuit!
