Wondering if anyone has any contacts for good performance shops in these locations. I will be visiting soon and would like to check out a few shops.

Thanks ahead.

Might be a stupid question but for GTR's?

Thanks for replying. Doesn't need to only for GTR's. General automotive performance shops, parts trading or tuning shops. Anything would do.

There are a hell of a lot of shops in Bangkok, RWB garage being my favourite but they only specialise in Porsches.

Other than that I can't be too helpful, but be very careful of fake parts as they are rife over there! Every minivan has Volk/Rays wheels

Toyota parts are extremely easy to get also, even the long boats have 1JZ's on the back of em!

Hi mate,

I'm originally from Malaysia, my hometown is at north, border with thailand.
What are the part that you after?
If you're planning to visit Kuala Lumpur, you can check out the performance
shop in Sunway.
There are plenty of different performance shop in that area + tuning shop as
well. Mainly cover for brand new cosmetics / bodyshop / parts.
Also, there are plenty of scrap yard shop who supply second hand parts
from japan. The biggest one called "MUN LEE"..
Just be careful when you buy the item brand new as some of the shop
claimed that it is original but its not.
Some of the shop are honest and tell you that it is a copy.
As for the shop in thailand, can't really tell you as we only go there for
drag event.
When are you planning to go?
I'm due to fly back there this weekend.

Regards,
Farid.:squintdan

p/s: you can pm if you wish more info

PM you brother Farid. Thank you for the information guys. Hoping to stay away from fakes.

I would love to get a good set of secondhand or new brakes for the GTR if I come across something.

There are a just a handful of performance shop in KL (Malaysia) that carry stock for RB26. Might wanna visit:

Samurai (Sunway - fair bit of RB26 stuffs)
St Wangan (Sunway - lots of Tomei stuffs)
ATS (sunway but mainly R35 items. a few sets of R35 brakes for sale if you are looking for one)
Ken Racing (Sunway)
JDM autolink (sunway but mainly good condition second hand stuffs)
Mun Lee (Puchong/ not too far from Sunway) a scrap yard with lots of wheels. Not much of performance parts for RB26.

Thanks groundzro, I am actually now out of KL already. I did go to Sunway and found most shops closed due to Chinese New Year even on non public holiday days. Guess everyone were still holidaying. Next time.

Thanks for the tip buddy.

If you go to Singapore, check out Garage-R, they are the HKS distributor for South East Asia, but they carry lots of other brand name stuff as well.

Here's an article I wrote when I visited the shop last year

Speed Architech - Garage R

In Singapore Garage R is your best bet, but nobody keep stocks for RBs.
Reason being there's only 3 R32, 1 R33 and about 10 R34 left in Singapore.
I own 1 of the 3 R32, and it is currently in Garage R undergoing an engine rebuilt. Most of the parts needed have to be ordered from Japan.
Hope this helps....
