How to find & get a TT front clip from Japan.

Hi all. I'm looking for advice on how or where to buy a TT, 5 speed front clip in Japan. Has anyone ever imported their own clip, or know how to go about doing it? A friend of mine is a forklift dealer. He makes regular trips to japan to buy forklifts. He said if I can figure out how & where to get one, I can put it in one of his shipping containers (for a fee) with the forklifts. He will be there the last week in January to the 1st week in february, so I need to move on this if I want to make it on this trip. Does anyone have any idea ho to go about finding these in Japan? I can't imagine they are that difficult to find, since you see people selling jdm front clips pretty regularly. I would just sell the Z & buy a twin turbo, but I have a convertible. As you know, they weren't available in the states in twin turbo form, so I'm going to convert my convert. My friend James has a guy in Japan that's an interpreter, so the language barrier shouldn't be too much of a problem. I just need to figure out the other stuff. Any advice would be appreciated. http://img129.imagevenue.com/loc30/th_e6999_DVC00874.JPG (http://img129.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc30&image=e6999_DVC00874.JPG) (click car for bigger pic)

Ebay has one right now. It is red and $2000 less shipping. I saw that one. It has just over 80,000 miles. I was hoping if I imported one from Japan myself, I could find something with low miles. I have a way to get a clip back from Japan, so I just need to figure out where to get one, & how to get one bought.
