Sorry if this has been covered in a thread somewhere - I had a good look, but couldn't ifnd anything. I tell you what - Rezz's photos are cool. I like that thread!

I need to know of shops in Japan that sell car parts. Particularly bolt on performance parts. In case you're wondering, I am after a Greddy Plenum and possibly a whole bolt on kit for an RB25DET.

So yeah, I have no idea how to find these places or contact them, but I reckon some one on here would have some good contacts over there.

All help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Luke

Okay I may be a bit out of touch with some of the lingo going on, but thanks. Can I contact these fellas by email or phone or something? Is that their name - 'K's Garage' ?

And no thanks, I have a complete 3 litre motor, just want a plenum. :)

K's garage is Rezz's business lol he specialises in gettin jap parts n stuff.

If the stuff's too big for rezz to mail out then I can offer a container based shipping once every 2 months. Basically my fee is 20% of the cost of the unit, so your total charge is cost of unit + shipping + 20% of the cost of the unit. I can source the stuff for ya too. That's only if Rezz can't do it coz it is a bit of a hassle and I'd rather him do the hard work :)

Yeah Luke, I got your PM... as per usual it was buried beneath the 300 other ones...

Mate, if you've got a contact in Japan already, wouldn't it be cheaper/easier for them to source the plenum? The whole K's Garage thing is strictly part-time now, and even then only small things like Funky says.

evo lee, whats the engine you have on offer?????

Depends on what you want...all low volume sales.

The shop usually just builds a few or one off performance engines and sell them off...most recently a 2bar S14b SR20 race engine.

Not sure if they have any complete RB engines around at the moment.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
