Hi All,
I'm trying to gauge interest in getting some sort of cooperative together to try and get some JDM parts shipped to North America. I've been building up my Skyline gradually, and it has just been crazy expensive to get stuff as an individual. I'd like to try and save some money by being able to combine shipping with other people. To gauge interest in this, I'm posting some links to navigate the auction sites.
I know there have been a couple of other services that offer something similar, like Feast Auto, jessestreeter. Both have good reputations. But I'm looking to see if we can coordinate shipments amongst ourselves better at lower cost. If you are in a hurry I'd recommend going to them directly as they can coordinate air shipments rather easily.
People I would try to work with are those not necessarily in a rush for the parts (thus could save a ton on consolidated shipping via sea or in larger air shipments). This is basically the group buy concept, but for Japan Auction parts.
I preconfigured these links to look for Skyline GTR R32, R33, and R34 parts so all you should need to do is link the and you'll see what's available on each site. I use Chrome to translate, and have pretty good success with it. Any suggestions, please reply!
Yahoo Auctions - Overall, this is the best site for deals and selection. If you make up an account, you can set up alerts and customized searches.

Rakuten - Another Auction site, but doesn't have as much as Yahoo

UPGarage - This is a Brick and Mortar tuner shop that has franchises throughout Japan, that does a lot of used parts sales. People can come in and drop off parts get store credit, buy new stuff, etc. They have a decent selection, and are pretty good about verifying that parts are in good working order or they wouldn't list them. Tends to be a bit more expensive, but they also have a good selection
