Roughly 2.5 months left. Finally being able to see them legally shipped and on the road will be the best birthday present ever. Posted via RS Mobile |

So this is probably a stupid question, but where do you buy parts when it comes to doing regular maintenance?
brb buying oil filter from japan
brb buying brake pads from japan
or are many parts interchangeable with cars here? iirc some 300zx parts are interchangeable?

Nissan only has a few oil filters not to hard to find the correct one.skylines all use the same one as a 240sx

Appearance wise, Is it just a matter of changing bumpers, side skirt to convert a GTST/GTT into a GTR?
