Our Services

We are a Japan-based sourcing and export team. Kei trucks are our bread and butter, and the same auction access, inspection habits, and dismantler contacts work just as well for sports keis, campers, and the JDM vehicles nobody else bothers to export.

Sourced & Exported

The core service

You tell us the vehicle. We find it at auction or pull it from our Japan stock, inspect it in person, and send you a video walkaround with the auction sheet translated before you commit. You purchase the vehicle in Japan, we handle deregistration and export, and it sails to your port.

  • · Full Japanese auction access, not a fixed lot of cars
  • · In-person inspection and honest condition notes
  • · Japan-side export docs and freight booking
  • · You are the importer of record and collect at the pier

Rare Hunt

Flat-fee search service

For the cars that are not simply sitting there waiting: sports keis like the Cappuccino, Beat, and AZ-1, a specific trim or colour combination, an unmolested donor car. You pay a flat search fee and our team monitors the auction feeds and dismantler networks week after week until yours surfaces.

Set your expectations: this is a watch-and-wait service for genuinely rare vehicles. Some surface in a few weeks, some take many months, and a few never come up in the spec you want. We will tell you honestly which one yours looks like before you pay anything.
  • · We define the exact target spec with you up front
  • · Ongoing auction and dismantler monitoring
  • · You see every candidate with our notes before we bid
  • · Wins roll straight into the standard export process

Parts & Research Sourcing

Part numbers, then parts

Half the battle with a JDM vehicle is knowing what the part is actually called. We work from chassis codes, so send us your chassis code and frame number and we will pin down the correct Japanese part number before anyone spends money on the wrong box.

  • · Part-number research from chassis and frame numbers
  • · Sourcing across auction, dismantler, and Japanese domestic retail
  • · New, genuine used, and aftermarket options priced side by side
  • · Consolidated international shipping so several parts travel as one box

Not sure your car is eligible yet?

The US 25-year rule runs on build month, not model year, and Canada, the UK, and Ireland all run different clocks. Our eligibility explainer walks through each one, and you can send us a chassis code any time for a straight answer.
