Default Parts from Japan... Advice pls

All, Sorry, but you know when your brain goes dead and you are against the clock???

Just found out that a friend of mine is on his way back from Japan in 2 weeks....Can anyone think of anything I want him to bring back for me? I have already ordered a HID conversion kit (depending on the price!)
Ideas anyone???

I'm assuming you mean something "small" he can take with him on the plane or as "luggage".

I guess YOU have to decide that question. What are you looking for?

Japan is not really a hotbed for Hyundai parts, so don't expect much.

BUT....If you are looking to make MONEY of selling stuff...if you were to get some parts for cars that are available in the UK and Japan, you could make some good money.

Nissan Sunny GTi/R parts are available in the UK, but cheaper in Japan.

Ditto for Honda parts in general. "real" JDM parts carry a high markup, especially if they come off the CTR or ITR.

Skyline Tailights. R34 are the most valueable.

Nahh, despite the amount of odds and sods that I sell, I am not into this for the money smile.gif
I was just having brain fade! I was trying to think of bits that I could use/Pass on to others at cost..So far, the shopping list consists of a HID conversion kit, and a pair of Veilside mirrors smile.gif
Yep, anything luggage size that might be worth grabbing (Incidently HKS's site is horrible!)
