website that sells parts and ships to APO

[samthecarman]

Currently I am a U.S. soldier stationed in Korea and just picked up my R32 Skyline about 5 days ago from the port. It is awsome. Since getting it, I was looking for parts and find it hard to get stuff from the U.S. mainly because most people don't stock stuff for it (obviously illegal in U.S). Does anyone have any websites in the U.S. that will ship USPS, and a decent parts/aftermarket selection? Thanks for the help.

Buy the parts from Australia. We are closer to you, so freight is cheaper as the parts don't have to travel across the Pacific before being sent back to you...

Plenty of performance parts for R32 GTRs in NZ and Australia

cant u get the parts from japan? it is a skyline, they did make em, or am i missing something, doees korea not trade with japan now or sometihng?

I could order from Japan, but I don't speak Japanese or read it for that matter. So when you go to websites etc... you get an idea of what you are ordering, but there is to much risk of ordering the wrong part, sending it back, getting a refund, issues with doing wire transfers (usually a $35 transfer fee, so you should have a minimum ammount order, to make it worth it for the fee). I can avoid the Korean taxes (which are almost 50% but don't quote me on that one, I am no expert) through the SOFA (status of forces agreement) but customs is still a pain in the but. APO (army post office U.S.) is the easiest so that is wht i was asking. A buddy of mine ordered from austrila and got good results, however he had some issues with customs, that ate up about a week before he got his parts.

idk know the name of the program, it's done it's job since the day i got the computer. i cant even find it actually. i've ordered parts, but from canada and i can read french, so it did wat it could and i did the rest.
i've never owned a japanese car that i needed parts for that i couldnt go to a dealer and order.
i had an r32 up till a yr ago. when i needed parts i went to dealer, they bruoght it in from japan for me, i just had to wait a while. that's y i have a second car.
also with the prgram it is limited to the types of languages, it cant do korean, chinese, or portogease that i know of so far.
the only site i've been on that was in japanesse was for the skyline, and that program translated enuf that i could figure out what it was that i got.
i'll c wat i can find
there is a site, but not really stock parts from wat i can tell,
