So we have several people on this Forum who are known for Identifying, Rare parts, so this thread is NOT another version of the "Rare S-Chassis Parts Thread, but a place to ask if something is actually Rare and discuss why, or why not, so include Pictures Please!
And Yes,
This is limited to S, Z, and GT-R Chassis ONLY!!
A Truely Rare part is a something that would have been made for a short time and only a few were produced, but has survived to date.
Discontinued items do become rare over time, but it depends on how flooded the market is with that item, currently. If Greddy stops making a Turbo Timer, its not going to be Rare for a long time. Its easy to find and cheep.
High End (Expensive) parts become rare faster, because cost affected production.
Like ARC Radiators... cost a fortune, ARC closed, cost just went up more, and rather hard to find. But ARC is still New to the Rare Parts catagory, and some parts are not all that rare!
JDM v:s USDM v:s EDM we are not going to argue over being JDM tyte Yo! Yes, Japan has been making parts and tuning these cars before we knew what they were so there is more Rare JDM parts, Europe has some really interesting parts too, however USDM is a bandwagon jumper so finding Rare US parts is going to add a interesting element to this discussion.
You may have something like a JDM S14 Kouki Front Lip... its discontinued, expensive, and can be hard to find... Yes technically its Rare, but alot of people have them, so its Not Rare... once the #s drop in a few years it will be golden!!
