Thanks Flipper.
Istefan, When I had my jdm car I had no difficulty with the distributors here getting parts. Once they had the chassis number they could always get me any parts I needed. Some parts were in stock in Ireland. Others they ordered from the UK. Still more were not available in either place and they got them from Japan, usually a 10 day wait.
In ALL cases they ranged from expensive to horrendous.
With this in mind if I knew the part I needed I would order from the US. US parts tend to be a lot cheaper, but customs duty plus VAT on import really pushes the costs up, so I now tread carefully when importing.
In many cases you will rely on getting parts from a breaker.
