Visiting Japan (Late April)

In a couple of weeks I am off to Japan. Whilst I will be on a tour for the majority, the last two days are in Toyko. Does anyone know if there any shops in Toyko that sells Gen V parts over the counter. I am probably only considering small bits and pieces rather than say a whole exhaust system.

thanks

I think there was a thread someone did before, about visiting Japan. Might be some pieces of info in there.

Which tour are you on? Planning to go dec/jan and not sure where to start.

G Adventures - Discover Japan. 23/4 - 7/5. Includes Toyko, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Mt Fuji and a few other places I can't recall at this time.

You'll prob still get it cheaper through PHAT GT even with postage to Aus.

I looked everywhere and couldnt find anything easy. Autobacs had nothing except privacy VIP curtains (got me some lol), got a boost gauge from Up!Garage. You can buy stuff from the specialty places like Blitz (they did have a Gen V there, looked horn) but its not that simple.

Here's a map of some of the tuning houses:

Like Garbo said, just soak it all up and just get Phat to get it for you.
