The rare JDM part you've been hunting for, found in Japan, inspected, and shipped to your door.
Tell me what you need. I search auctions, used-parts shops, and dismantlers across Japan, show you the actual part before I buy it, and ship it to you in the US or Canada.
Start a hunt for $100Buying parts from Japan shouldn't feel like gambling
If you've tried to do this yourself, you know where it goes wrong.
You can't find it
Listings are in Japanese and scattered across Yahoo Auctions, Mercari, used-parts chains, and shops that never list online at all.
You can't see it
Proxy services buy whatever you click. Nobody checks the part before your money is gone.
You're not sure it fits
Chassis codes, trims, and mid-year changes mean "close enough" parts are everywhere.
Shipping is a nightmare
Big, awkward parts get expensive fast, and fees stack up at every step.
Good parts sell in hours
By the time you've translated the listing, someone in Japan already bought it.
You're trusting a stranger
Sending money overseas and hoping something shows up is a hard ask.
How a hunt works
Tell me the part
Fill out the short form below and pay the $100 deposit. That starts your 14-day hunt.
I hunt in Japan
Auctions, marketplaces, used-parts shops, dismantlers, and my own contacts.
You see it, then decide
You get photos, video, fitment notes, and one all-in price. Nothing is bought until you say yes.
I check it and ship it
When it reaches me, I unbox it on video, confirm it matches, pack it properly, and ship it tracked.
What every hunt includes
A real search, done in Japan
Not just a keyword search. I dig through the places a buyer overseas can't reach.
See it before I buy it
Close-up photos and video of the actual part, plus my honest notes on condition.
Fitment check
I match the part number to your chassis code and model year before anything is bought.
One all-in price, up front
Part, shipping, and fee in one number. No surprise charges later.
Pre-ship check and pro packing
Unboxed on video when it reaches me, then packed for an ocean crossing and tracked to your door.
90-day watchlist
If I can't find it in 14 days, you get your deposit back and I keep watching for 90 more days. If it turns up, you get first call.
Simple pricing
Deposit to start
Credited in full toward your total. Refunded if I can't find your part in 14 days.
Flat finder's fee
The same whether your part costs $80 or $3,000. Only charged when I find it and you approve it.
Part and shipping
You pay what the part and shipping actually cost. No markup hidden inside.
Example: $450 part to Texas
Shipping varies with size and weight. Import duties or taxes charged by your country are paid by you on delivery.
Found in 14 days, or your $100 back
If I can't find a part that matches your request within your budget in 14 days, I refund your full deposit. Then I keep watching for 90 more days at no cost, and if it appears, you get first call.
One fair rule: if I find a part that matches what you asked for, within your budget, and you decide not to buy it, the deposit covers the work already done and isn't refunded.
Who's doing the hunting
I've lived in Japan for two and a half years, and I speak enough Japanese to deal with shops and sellers directly, with no proxy service in the middle.
I'm a car guy first. When I'm not hunting parts, I'm at drift school getting behind the wheel as often as I can. I still have a lot to learn, but I know what it's like to love a car and need the right part for it.
When you start a hunt, you deal with me from the first message to the tracking number.

Start your hunt
Takes about 3 minutes. After you submit, you'll go to a secure Stripe checkout for the $100 deposit, and your 14 days start once it's paid.
The more detail you give, the faster I can find it. Part numbers, photos of what you want, and your chassis code all help.
Questions
What happens after I pay the deposit?
You'll get a confirmation email, and I start hunting. You'll hear from me as soon as I find a candidate, and before day 14 either way.
Do you test parts to make sure they work?
I verify, I don't bench test. That means photos and video of the actual part, a part number and fitment check, and honest notes on condition before you decide. For body, trim, interior, and lighting, that covers almost everything. For mechanical parts I check for cracks, corrosion, play, and missing pieces. Electronics like ECUs and gauge clusters are sold on the seller's word unless the shop offers a defect warranty, and I'll always tell you which it is before you approve.
What if the part arrives and doesn't match the listing?
Every part comes to me first, and I unbox it on video before it goes anywhere. If it doesn't match what was listed, I deal with the seller before it ever ships to you.
When do I pay the rest?
Only after you've seen the part and approved the all-in price. Your $100 deposit comes off that total.
What if you find it but it's over my budget?
I'll still show it to you. If you pass, it doesn't count against you, and your deposit is protected by the 14-day guarantee as usual.
Who pays import duties?
You do, on delivery. For many used car parts entering the US or Canada these are modest, but it depends on the part and its value. I'll flag anything I expect to be unusually high.
Is there anything you can't ship?
Some items can't be sent internationally or need special handling, like airbags, batteries, and fluids. If your part falls into that group, I'll tell you before you pay anything.
Can I request more than one part?
Yes. Start a hunt for your most important part, and add the others in the notes. If I can find them together, shipping them in one box saves you money.
