Super Autobacs, Crystal....and The Like.


Recommended Posts

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 .

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
