JDM quality?? I think not. Most of that stuff is made in Korea, Taiwan, China, or India. It sucks for the Japanese manufactureres. A lot of them lost their jobs similar to the U.S. But yea, 100 yen store is still ok. I bought a basketball pump and after 2 years of use, it finally broke! But for less than 1 US dollar...what can u expect.

You are near a whole bunch of cool junkyards where you are. Have you been to the auto hobby shop yet? Some people there can give you directions. I probably could but I have not been there for 3 years so who knows what has changed!

Which Up Garage did you go to? If it the one I think it is you are only about 3 miles from the "skyline heaven" junkyard. basically an all Nissan junkyard.

Bee R racing is close by there as well.

No idea what the address is. its one of those place you have to know where it is to get there because you would never find it otherwise. there is also a really cool used parts shop west of Atsugi but for the life of me I cant remember the name of it. When it comes to me I'll post the link.
