Check Engine Codes (OBD-I/ OBD-II)

If you have other makes and models – you are in luck, we have some friends. Kill the check engine light without pulling the bulb.

Domestic Parts Resources

Hopefully you can find what you are looking for in local parts shops, unless you are working on older vehicles. We have a few select retailers listed below we have personally dealt with in the past.

• CarParts.com – Competitive pricing and a huge selection of parts shipped direct to your door faster than you can find the used fender in your local scrap yard
• Cobra Transmission – Quality transmission parts
• RockAuto – Don’t let the site fool you. It might look like you are placing a mail order in the 90’s… but they have quality parts at low prices. Many harder to find parts also

JDM Parts – Shipped from Overseas

Unfortunately, not all parts are stocked and ready to grab from USA suppliers. This list will help you track down those less common items.

• Amayama – Good resource to buy from direct, or use to grab the OEM part number easily so you can source it elsewhere
• Megazip – Multiple warehouses with different shipping times/rates to get to you faster. Their OEM parts diagrams help track down exactly what you need
• Nengun – Parts shipped from Japan
• Online Auto Parts – OnlineAutoParts is Australia based, but has always gotten us parts freaky fast
• RHD Japan – Parts from Japan
• The Figaro Shop – Nissan Figaro parts, shipped from UK
• Yokohama Motors (Used Parts Solution) – Mini Truck parts, Japan based

JDM Parts – Shipped from USA

When crap breaks, you need it fast, which is why we have a handy list of JDM Parts suppliers here in the USA. This is useful if you can’t find a cross-referenced part locally for a US model.
