I am in Japan now!!! Getting ready to buy parts.
Ok, here is the problem. Since Japan dont make maximas anymore, what can I tell them about the parts I want in relation to the cars in japan. which car uses the exact engine as the maxima here and what do you think I could get here which I cant get in the U.S.?
Konnichiwa! What part of Japan are you in right now?
The Cefiro is the Maxima equivalent in Japan, but, as we know, Nissan uses a lof the same parts for their cars. 4th gen. Maximas use the VQ30DE engine.

For 4th gen, tell them A32 with VQ30DE engine. A32 is the body code. Your best bet is look for some cool universal stuff you think that will fit the maxima. In Japan, they usually don't mod FWD sedans. They are more into RWD and mini-vans.
How about the Variable Intake Manifold for 4th gen Maximas (A32). The parts list is here from XHypex's site;

Take some picture and post them so we can see what you see on the streets.
Mini-vans? Blah...they even fix up full size conversion vans. My friend in Japan sent me a pic of a fixed up full size conversion van that look like a really big Pikachu(Pokemon)with the wings and everything! Yikes!

Hey, maybe I should be talking to Greg @ Custom Maxima...
... but seriously, I'll pay up to 125/ea harness, that's USD of course if you can get them. Real NISMO, not the knockoffs.

Yeah, that's over here. I meant in Japan. I heard from a friend that they are way cheaper, like around 60 if you buy in bulk.
