Roppongi, should be your first stop! but don't go until about 9:00 or 10:00, plan on staying all night, trains stop at 12:00. You'll thank me later.
Harajuku is a park but pretty cool, then there's Yokohama, and china town...
Have fun, and take a lot of money...You'll need it!

Hit up a Nissan dealer and sit in a Skyline. Same for maybe a Scuby/Mitsu/Toyota dealers also.

You won't believe how short the women wear their skirts there.

Yeah roppongi I hear is cool. You could try nearby Shibuya but you had better bring 2x the $ you just brought to Roppongi.

I've been to Tokyo, Chiba, Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima. I didn't have Max back then and never even road in a passenger car once when I was there.

I was on some busses, the commuter trains, and bullet trains (Shinkansen). On the bullet train I was on (one of the Hikari lines, not the fastest line), when I had my GPS unit out and when I was awake, the fastest I saw my train go was 179 mph!

PM me if you want a list of suggested places from a from a friend of mine who visits there every quarter and lived there for six months.

If nothing else, go check out Ginza and Akihabara electric town (it's the electronics district of Tokyo).

Sorry can't help with the address, Maybe try some JN. websites for locations. Even after 4 years of living there I can't recall seeing aftermarket parts places.
P.S how were you planning on getting it back ? The cost to ship will use up any break in price that you get.( If you can find a break in price)

Also stay away from Yokosuka, fighting with drunk Marines and Sailers is no fun...Well sometimes it is.
