E-mail them in clear English. They do a machine translation to Japanese, so forget local slang, TXT spelling, bad spelling, or bad grammar. Keep it reasonably short & to the point & they will understand just fine.

They seem to have a good business model, that being to go after the customers wherever they are, & win them with product, pricing & service. I wish them all the success they deserve.

If it's easier, I've been bringing in products from Bpro, to help out Aussie Datto people,

seems to be working out ok, it's for little or no profit, so your still not getting ripped off..

Ok, All these parts are available,

some of these ones in the pics, the owner has asked me to sell:

Tomei Pushrods (A14-15)
Billet Rocker Spacers (silver)
10k rpm Double Springs, Retainers, Seats and Collets.

if your keen for any of it, or other parts from Japan, drop me a PM, cheers, Mike

Well thanks to Mike, some more bits have shown up for me as well.

What we see here is
1. Flat top pistons in 78mm for my A13
2. Custom 'H' beam rods to suit.
3. Hollow Nismo lifters.
4. ARP main bearing studs, nuts & washers. [I don't like bolts in these high stress applications]
5. PitRoad bracket to mount the alternator on the left of the engine in the stck B10 or B110 position.

It's just another small step forward.

Dodgeman - How much were the lifters? And what is the weight difference?

hey mike how much for the double valve springs , seats and collars?

hey that datsun 1000 key chain you have there looks cool.. can you get 1200 and 1600 ones
thats a nice collection you have there too..

I see NEW 5-speed box

I have no idea what the weight difference is, all I know is that they are the bona-fide Nismo go-fast goodie.

I was encouraged to add them to my shopping list, so I placed an order with Mike. He eventually came back with a NLA reply. Oh well, too bad, life goes on, but a little later he wrote me to say that one last set had been discovered & did I still want them? The price, as you might understand, was not cheap but it was acceptable, so I got them.
It would seem that unless Nismo makes some more, they really are NLA now, so I guess that my luck held out just one more time.

Check with Mike to ensure that I am not spinnin' you a Furphy.

Mike, read your PM's & come back to me with the postage price again plus your relevant details so I can get you paid for that last bit.

Hi Guy's, I'll get back to you on the good bits available as soon as i can,
Bpro Japan is closed at the moment as they are relocating, I've been told 4 weeks from now so a bit of a wait..

cheers, Mike
