I ordered mine with this ebay seller

http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/autocat51/

But he's still waiting for the next container from Japan, but then if you order as well I would guess they could ship yours also in that container.

Oh btw the new Toms one looks to just be the Blitz one rebranded with Toms.. you might find it easier to get that from a Toms dealer like Carsons. Blitz are very slow at shipping!

But you need the 14660 one thats not listed

I think you want the 14660 model which is the SC430 one, but no one has used it that we know of. Only seen it installed on a couple of Japanese SC430 cars. I have a Japanese import SC430 and I dont think theres anything different engine wise between a JDM and USA.

Im pretty sure the GS430 model 14666 one would not be correct, but thats just a guess.

I ordered the 14660

No its not available anywhere outside of Japan. You need to email him and mention me and the above model no. He can get it just it takes a long time.

For a small item like that, I would try some Yahoo Japan bidding service that can be found on ebay. It is cheaper and a lot faster than other methods.

Is the guy named Tony w/email jolinlee@hotmail.com? Just want to make sure I'm dealing w/the same people as you did.... all I got back from my ebay query was an email (not through ebay) asking for payment, so I want to be careful... thanks again for your help.

I went ahead and ordered the TOMS unit. Both units are for the 2006+ sc hopefully they have the same pedal sensors

Well, I'm a guinea-pig for Blitz; they asked me to try theirs made for the G35/Scion, which they say is identical to the JDM#14660 for the SC. If it doesn't work they'll refund me and pay to ship it back, so WTF. It's on it's way to me now and I'll wire it up and post-up my results....
