Question

Can you recommend any good Japanese companies (preferably online) to assist in the process?

hmm info on BJ30 printers helpful.

I think you can only do this from Japan dealers on new or used cars the general public is not allowed into the infamous car auctions.

Would you save that much money not using a agent like litchfields or emporer ??.

I used WWW.ISIbike.com who were very helpful in my successful purchase of my new toy, which I recevied at the end of last November.. It's worth a looking at just to compare prices with others, and it's free to join..

All the best for on your venture..
