Part Research Service — Identification & Cross-Reference
PART RESEARCH SERVICE
Archive ID: ZJP-S-0001 | Part Sourcing Division
Price: CAD $65 | Turnaround: 5-7 business days
One service covering both halves of the same problem. If you have a component and no idea what it is, ZANJPN identifies it. If you have a part number you cannot source, ZANJPN traces its supersession history and finds the alternatives. Most requests need some of both, so you no longer have to diagnose which one you are buying.
Most unidentified Japanese parts are not mysterious. They are documented in sources that were never published in English.
WHAT YOU GET
- Identification research against Japanese factory parts catalogues.
- OEM part number identification, where the number is determinable.
- Full OEM supersession history for a known part number.
- Known alternative, replacement and aftermarket equivalents.
- A compatible vehicle and application list.
- Documented fitment differences or required modifications.
- Notes on the part's original source, function and current availability.
- A documented Part Research Report, delivered as a PDF by email.
- Archived in ZANJPN records under your own reference.
IDEAL FOR
- Unknown or unmarked components.
- Discontinued OEM parts.
- Superseded part numbers that lead nowhere.
- Imported vehicle parts with no English documentation.
- Dealer accessories and unmarked trim.
- Cost-down sourcing on a build.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Purchase the service. You receive the ZJP-S-0001 intake kit as a PDF.
2. Complete the intake form and email it with your photographs.
3. ZANJPN confirms receipt and begins research.
4. We work Japanese factory catalogues, supersession data and our own library.
5. Your Part Research Report arrives by email within 5-7 business days.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
- Bright, evenly lit photographs of every side of the part.
- Close-ups of all stampings, casting marks, labels and date codes.
- A ruler or common object for scale.
- The vehicle it came from, if known, and where on the vehicle it sits.
- Any part number you already have.
- Original packaging or box art, if you have it.
IMPORTANT
- Research fees are non-refundable once work begins.
- If ZANJPN cannot identify your part, or cannot find any supersession or equivalent for it, you receive a full refund. You still receive the documented negative result. Confirming that nothing exists is a research finding, and it stops you searching.
- Cross-reference data is a research reference. Always confirm fitment before purchase.
