In another life I have repaired and driven a lot of these, They are piece mealed together from Nissan Sentra and micra parts - very cute but a huge massive PITA to get new parts for as JDM car parts are not produced much after 3 or 4 years of production.

You may find mechanical parts that interchange with other models (like sentra parts for this car) but specific parts to this car are very tough to get by as Japan doesnt have much warehouses for any car parts. The odd few in between dont deal with individuals and/or international orders.

If this tickles your fancy - check out mitsuoka vehicles.
