First I would like to everyone know that I am back. I was fastredse-r. I am in Okinawa Japan and I want to find a place that sells sr20det and since I can't speak Japanese I don't know where to start looking. If anybody know where or who I can contact please I would like to ship one home and maybe more performance parts I can purchase here. Thanks in advance

Go over to Ebay, and look up *** ANdy, Private message him, he is an american that lives over there, I believe in Okinawa, but I'm not certain. Any how he may be able to help point you in the right direction.

Thanks I will pm him. Hopefully he is here I would like to buy a few other parts to while I am here.

I would try to find the salvage yard or some used car place and buy the whole Silvia or 180sx for cheap. (they are usually super cheap) Most S13-14-15 in Japan are modded and there are "usually" a lot of wrecked ones sitting. Yank as many parts (Engine and other JDM goodies) as you can and just give the left over car back. I know it is hard if you don't speak Japanese, but if you have enough time, try to find a friend speaks Japanese.

Oh, try to say "Engine utte Kuremasenka?" if you see a kid with Silvia or 180SX. That means "Could you sell your Engine?" :D

Good luck.

*Wait.. Were you looking for a FWD DET?

I am looking for a front wheel drive det. All of the salvage yards that I have driven past have all of the engines in one big pile under no cover.

FWD/AWD DET cars are a lot harder to find than RWD cars, but Bluebirds are probablly cheaper than Silvias. You can buy the whole car for less than 100,000 yen for sure. GTI-R are a little more than that. Go to the local bookstore and find a used car magazine. Later version of U12 or U13 Bluebird with FWD turbo should be the one.

Go to one of the tuner shops and write FWD Sr20det on a napkin

stay away from "Whisper Alley" !!!
LOL.
$10 sucky sucky.

I had some great times over there in Camp Hansen.
I had a Turbo 323.

Good luck finding a DET.

Yeah I still have a good time every so often. I normally just go out to East Coast and have a bowl of Mojo. I have looked at a bluebird and looked through the window to see if maybe there was a boost gauge (stock) and nothing. It looks like a family sedan. And the Avenir those are station wagons nice looking ones at that. I don't want to buy the whole car just the engine to drop into my 92 SE-R. I have plans for this car now that I am going through a divorce.

What is this going to do

When you show them the napkin with the words FWD Sr20det they'll bow down and sing shalom and then sell you a sick ass sr20det with cams and all kinds of sick tomei, jun, HKS, Trust shit

Goto, www.tomei-p.co.jp and request a catolog (you may need to translate the webpage at altavista.com)

Being how you are in Okinawa they will send you a free catalog with Tomei goodies. And request one for me also;):D :p

Hope you find all yur sr20 needs~!

I will email them and see what happens. Once I get mine I will try and get another one. Thanks

Actually, if you write FWD SR20DET on a napkin, they are going to laugh at you and say "Silly Americans..."

Avenir, GTi-R, and Bluebirds are all AWD. But thats ok, because you dont need the tranny. (make sure to remove it before shipping, it'll save you some money).

dang okinawa has some mean drifting action. check out the "murder" drift crew, i got a few friends down here in the same crew.
