Marques
Brands we source
We are a sourcing service, not a distributor and not an authorised reseller of any of these marques. What this list means is that we know where to find their parts in Japan, new or used, and what to check before we buy one.
HKS
Engine and tuning
Turbochargers, cams, intercoolers, exhausts and the Hipermax suspension line. One of the few tuners still producing for cars this old, though many parts are now discontinued and only available used.
A'PEXi
Engine and tuning
Intakes, exhausts, intercoolers and the Power FC engine management that a great many JDM cars still run. Power FC units are chassis-and-engine specific and we check the part number before quoting.
Blitz
Engine and tuning
Intercoolers, blow-off valves, intakes and boost controllers. Their older Nur-Spec and SUS exhausts turn up regularly through dismantlers.
GReddy (Trust)
Engine and tuning
Turbo kits, intercoolers, oil coolers and manifolds, sold as Trust in Japan and GReddy elsewhere. The two names are the same company, which matters when you are reading a Japanese listing.
Tomei
Engine and tuning
Camshafts, valvetrain, turbochargers, exhaust manifolds and forged internals, with particularly deep coverage of RB, SR and 4G63 engines.
Mine's
Engine and tuning
A small Yokohama tuner best known for its ECUs, exhausts and intercoolers for the RB26 GT-Rs. Low production numbers, so most of what we find is used.
Spoon Sports
Engine and tuning
Honda specialists — engine work, brakes, rigid collars and body reinforcement, mostly for B-series and K-series cars.
Top Secret
Engine and tuning
Smoky Nagata's shop. Aero, exhausts and engine work, largely for Supras, GT-Rs and Z-cars. Body parts in particular are made in small batches.
Genuine factory parts
Alongside the aftermarket, we source genuine parts from the makes below through the same process. Genuine is often the right answer on these cars, particularly for body panels, lighting and anything safety related.
Counterfeits
What we check before we buy
Wheels, engine dress-up parts and anything with a well-known name on it are routinely faked in this market. We photograph forging stamps, casting marks, date codes and part numbers, and we weigh wheels against the genuine article. If we cannot verify a part, we say so rather than quote it.
