I've been to the Super Autobacs in Yokohama, but now I'm wondering where are the other 'fun to look in' autoparts stores....

Websites, address's and Google maps of Super Autobacs, Crystal and others are always welcome... :bunny::)

I went to the one in Tokyo-Bay, Koto-ku. Right near Shinonome subway station.

It was massive! It's good to go there if you know what you want and have heaps of $$$$

And i'm not sure about this Nakameguro one, but if you check it out on Google maps @ street level, there is a Super Autobacs of some description.

I can post up more if i can find more, or anyone can post up even links to the stores then i can find them on Google maps and do the above to make things easy. :P

I went to the Tokyo bay one today. Very easy to get too. :D

Again, it's here,

Once in Tokyo, find the Yamanote line, it's very easy train to find and runs around the whole city, then get off at the Osaki station. Then catch the Rinkai line to Shinonome station.

Once at the Shinome station, you can't miss it!

IMO Autobacs was a bit of a let down. Its just like a massive autobarn.

Crystal is where the best gear is.

Agree!

Autobacs is exactly like Autobarn because they mostly sell at RRP. There were some items that were cheap, but that was because it was on sale.

Up-garage is more of a hit & miss. Unless you know how to properly navigate the website and can speak japanese, you wont know which stores stock what parts because 95% of the store is 2nd hand parts.

Crystal is great and well worth the 10-15minutes walk from the train station (upside down monorail).. When I was there in June, I ended up spending over $3000 in parts for my Evo X :laugh: The majority of parts there are sold ex-tax and at least 10% below RRP. Be warned, there is only one guy that that speaks English :(

Crystal is the place to go for sure, ended up with a new set of rays and a set or volks and $9K aus later they bought us lunch at macca's down the road ha ha ha, Its pritty easy to get to , get to chiba, take the monorail thing to " sports stadium " you exit , goto the right ( there is a park on your right ) walk till you see a foot bridge , cross over it and continue walking same way but now your over the other side of the road, and in about 15 min you will see it .

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
