I am a car collector and I just purchased a 1993 Nissan Cima. I live in the United States, and am having a hard time sourcing parts for my car. I am using nengun.com and megazip.com, however there are now restrictions, per an email I received from megazip, on the ability for Japan to export struts and shocks as the couriers now view these parts as dangerous to ship. Megazip says for now they can only ship within Japan.

Would any of you know where else I could source parts for my car? Also, would any of you know what car is compatible with mine? I think that a 1999 Q45 and perhaps as J30 (not sure what year) may have some interchangeable parts?

Any info would be appreciated.

TIA.
