Parts sourcing from Japan

Send us the part you're hunting — chassis, part name, links or photos if you have them — and we reply with a free sourcing report: the live Japanese listings we'd actually buy from, prices in yen and dollars, and an all-in estimate to your country. You can buy everything in it yourself. When a part sits in the tier that proxy services can't touch, we tell you that too — and offer to handle it. And if you would rather skip the research and simply have us buy it and ship it, say so: that is the service.

Want the numbers first? The JDM drift parts price index lists what SR20DET and 1JZ engines, 2-way LSDs, coilovers, Bride and Recaro seats and Work or RAYS wheels actually sold for on Yahoo! Auctions this month — the part price you should expect before freight. And what is listed on Yahoo! Auctions this morning, if you want to see the live auctions we would bid on.

By chassis: S13 · 180SX · S14 · S15 · AE86 · JZX100 — prices this month, today’s listings and the buy-for-you button on one page.

Start with the free report

Most parts don't need us to buy them for you — they need someone in Japan who knows what the listing actually says. Your report covers:

• The exact listings — Mercari and Yahoo Auctions checked by people who drift: right part number, right chassis, photos that show what matters
• Real prices — yen and dollars, plus an all-in estimate with proxy fees and tracked shipping to your country
• The route — which listings ship overseas through a proxy, which are auction-timing plays, and which are structurally unbuyable from outside Japan
• Straight answers — if a listing looks wrong for your build, or an exporter's catalogue is simply the better buy, the report says so

If it is tyres you are after, start with the drift tyre directory: every brand's price per 265/35R18, which series allow it, what owners report compound by compound, and the SHIBATIRE orders we arrange for buyers outside Japan.

The tier we handle ourselves

Some parts can't be bought through any proxy — that's the work we take on:

• Pickup-only & seller-restricted listings — sellers who hand over in person or refuse forwarding services. Someone in Japan has to go, pay, and repack for export
• Condition checks — used seats and harnesses (date labels), wheels (cracks, welds), knuckles and aero (straight? genuine?). We inspect in hand and send you a photo/video walkthrough before anything ships
• No-lane categories — tyres on wheels, gearboxes and diffs that need the oil drained, oversized aero: items the standard shipping lanes reject until someone does the physical work
• Auctions — Japanese close times, Japanese-language seller questions, bid ceilings managed so you don't overpay

New parts: ORIGIN Labo., direct from the maker

One new-parts catalogue we do carry: every ORIGIN Labo. part — Drift Line, Racing Line, Fujin and Raijin aero, +55 mm fenders, GT and roof wings, Combat Eye covers, OEM-shape rear panels and pillowball arms — ordered new from the maker in Osaka on our trade account at the export price, and crated together with the used parts or the car you are buying through us. Other makers' new catalogue parts that established exporters already list are still better bought there; we fill the gaps they can't.

How it works

1. Send the part list below (chassis, part name, photos/links if you have them) and your country
2. We check the Japanese market and reply with your free report — buy from it yourself, no obligation
3. If you want the hard tier handled — or just want us to do the whole thing — we quote one all-in figure (item, inspection, packing, shipping) before we buy anything. You approve first, and we send photos at every step
