are u going to mail me the A series from pit road? or bring it home on the plane

HI everyone

Im in Osaka right now for 3 months
and would like to know places that I can visit like the Nissan Museum, places to buy parts for old skool datsuns.

I will try going to Autobacs 2nd hand shop in osaka


Cheers!

Try and find an Up Garage... they're a second hand parts store. They usually have tons of old school parts as well as a lot of new stuff. There a national chain and we just got one this year and it rocks.

And, of course, make it to Yokohama while you're there... it's pretty much the mecca for japanese motorsports or anything car related in Japan.

Scroll down to Zama Memorial Warehouse.
If you can get figure out how to take a tour of that place you're all good.

I'm planning a trip to Tokyo next month, I've been invited by my neighbor who is a Japanese citizen.

Here are some places I'd like to visit, but cannot find hours/tour/address information. Any suggestions?

- Nissan Engine Museum (I want to ask about the AY12 engine)
- Sunny museum "inside main gate of Zama factory"
- Any vintage car shows (june) or vintage races
- Wrecking yards (even out in the country) friendly to visitors/lookers
- Any swap meet/flea markets ??? where car parts might be found. I plan to check out an "Up Garage" store or two per the previous post
- A mountain to walk up (smaller than Fuji ... )?

I've been searching using terms like the following but not finding anything:Quote:

But I'm hoping the Sunny museum is open to the public.

you'll have to travel hours (and many km's) outside of tokyo to see anything of the above

Part of the plan. I might get a Japan Rail pass before I go.
