Anybody know if JDM parts are cheaper in Japan than the US??? My bro is going to Japan and I'm debating whether I should give him some extra $$$ to buy some parts. I would assume they are cheaper for many obvious reasons. Just curious if anyone knows for sure. Thanks!

 

of course they are!

JDM parts are much cheaper in japan. its just the whole JDM craze thats created an inflation in the prices for us in the states.

go to japan with a LHD ej1 and sell it.

 

how would you bring stuff back or can you ship it back to the states? Thinking of doing the same thing

 

extra cash ....... im sure u wont have another chance like this one

 

where can you get these jdm parts
honda of japan or what ?
are their parts departments as shitty as the ones in the us?

 

Check the currency exchange rates on the Yen VS USD and you'll have your answer.
I found out the hard way when I recently returned from Germany where the Euro is much stronger than the USD $.71 to their 1 Euro

there's a lot of good stuff you can get there for cheap, so you better give him some major cash so he can come home with honda gold LOL.

 

the hard part: finding it

That's true! I've been trying to search the web and have run into a couple Japanese websites but no English!

Not sure. I guess it'll have to depend on how many and how big the boxes are!
