Since 1995, Nippon Auto Spares has been the UK’s trusted specialist for Japanese import car parts. From our Derby base, we import genuine, low-mileage engines, gearboxes, and components directly from Japan, supplying both workshops and enthusiasts worldwide.

Some parts are easy to come by. Others? Practically impossible to find outside Japan.
This month, we’re spotlighting a mix of popular JDM import parts and rare components from models you’ll struggle to source anywhere else.

Whether you drive a Toyota Estima family import or a Nissan Elgrand VIP van, we’ve got authentic OEM replacements ready to ship.

Popular JDM Imports

These models have huge followings in the UK and Europe. They’re reliable, stylish, and often used as daily drivers — meaning genuine parts are always in high demand.

Toyota Estima – Left Front Window Regulator

One of the most common imports on UK roads, the Estima’s power windows can wear out over time. This OEM regulator restores smooth, reliable operation.

Mazda 6 2.0 Petrol Engine – Code: PE

A favourite among Mazda fans, this low-mileage JDM engine is fully tested and ready to drop in. Perfect for restorations or full engine swaps.

Subaru XV 2.0 Petrol Engine – Code: FB20

Compact, capable, and increasingly popular as a Japanese crossover import. The FB20 engine offers smooth power delivery and renowned Subaru reliability.

9B4G-9F991-A – Mazda 6 Throttle Body Assembly

A high-turnover component for petrol Mazdas. If your engine hesitates or idles roughly, this OEM throttle body restores precise airflow and performance.

Rare & Hard-to-Find JDM Models

Here’s where Nippon Auto Spares truly shines sourcing parts for vehicles that were never officially sold in the UK or EU.

Nissan Elgrand E52 – Left Door Mirror (7-Wire)

OEM electric mirror with indicator function, built for the E52 Elgrand, one of Japan’s most luxurious people carriers. A direct-fit, high-spec replacement.
 

Nissan Elgrand E51 – Left Door Mirror (14-Wire, with Camera)

Ultra-rare mirror unit featuring a built-in camera. If you own a facelift E51 with advanced driver-view systems, this is the exact part you need.

Nissan Elgrand E51 Facelift – Right Headlamp

Distinctive and hard to source in Europe. This OEM headlamp restores factory lighting quality and aesthetics for facelifted E51s.

27500-1JB2B – Nissan Elgrand Mirror Control Switch

Small but essential — controls folding and adjustment of power mirrors. A must-have for keeping your Elgrand’s interior electronics fully functional.

G9020-28022 – Toyota Inverter Cooling Water Pump

This hybrid cooling pump is typically found on Japanese-domestic hybrid Toyotas such as the Alphard or Estima Hybrid. A genuine part that’s notoriously difficult to find outside Japan.
 

52380-28050 – Toyota Suspension Arm Bush Bracket

Rarely stocked by UK suppliers, this component supports suspension geometry on several JDM Toyota platforms. OEM-grade metal and rubber construction for long life.

Why Genuine JDM Parts Matter

JDM vehicles are engineered differently from their UK or EU counterparts, often with unique wiring, fitments, and trim specifications. Using genuine OEM parts ensures:

• Perfect fit and compatibility
   
• Maximum reliability and safety
   
• Preservation of resale value and factory performance

That’s why Nippon Auto Spares sources directly from Japan and stocks both common imports and rare JDM-only parts every month.
