i am inKuala Lumpur at the moment..

anyone from here or along those lines.. know if there is anywhere to buy bits...

tail lights.. kit bits... dash kits.. any sort of rice at all..

holla back i am here till the weekend..

Yeap go to Sunway. There are at least 20 car related shops there. Also if you have the time you can head over to SS Racing nearby this place called OUG. If you were to go to Sunway, ask anyone there and they'd be able to direct you to SS Racing which isnt far from Sunway. They have a very large selection of parts both 2nd hand and brand new.

when I was there, I went to a place called Brothers car parts and accessories.

they had a huge selection of car parts and audio gear. Heaps of rice parts as well.

Haha Brothers is sort of like Autobarn here. They have a lot of cheap rice parts but they are pretty poor quality and i doubt they cater to skylines besides some universal stuff. I personally wouldnt recommend going there coz you may be quite disappointed haha. They're ok for audio gear though.

Sunway ftw. Beware though, car modification in Malaysia is expensive, therefore don’t expect to get quality bits cheap (as I found out), you will be disappointed. Nengun / Greenline is way cheaper. Went to Brothers also, looks good from the front…lol, inside lots of crap everywhere, mainly just tacky stuff to bolt onto your Proton (of which there are eleventy billion of in KL).

I'd say you're back but don't waste your time at Brothers. i went there last time I was in KL and it's exactly like supercheap, but much much worse. There' not one real performance part in the shop, all "Monza" and "Type S" brand type stuff. Audio might be ok there though. There really isn't much quality car parts to legitimately get in M'sia unless you know people :)

It really depends, where you look. There are places in malaysia that does some serious mods and stuff. You just need to look around. Pick up their local car mags that are in english, and you'll get quite a good idea, loads of adverts, some with prices to boot. So you can roughly gauge how much after exchange rate.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
