#1 Buying datto parts in Malaysia
ol_skl_jp Posted on: 2010/7/6 8:39
Hi guys, first post...I'm on holiday in Malaysia at the moment and cannot help but notice alot of datto's still around, looking abit worse for wear but still gets my full attention when they past by. I have a 240Z back home in Melbourne just waiting for me to come back:D,I haven't seen any here yet!, but maybe there are some parts lying around or even aftermarket parts.

I want to know where the best places are to find parts? Like special wreckers or performances stores. I am currently in Kuching for another day, but will be in KL in a month. I was told to check out Sunway in KL for car parts.

Thanks

My understanding is that you need to allocate plenty of time as most of the wreckers are not well organised. So you need to trawl through the yards knowing what to look for.

Then to get them into AUS, you need to clean them spotless to get them through customs. I know of one person who has done this a few times, and he puts in the hard yards to get what he wants.

Good luck with it, and let us know how you go. You might stumble accross some good treasure!

I too am interested in this as I will be in KL for the MotoGP in October.

Please keep us updated with your results/tips etc.

haha i know what you mean i bought some inspection panel flaps for the 240 from Canada and customs gave me a warning and slipped a brochure into the packaging as the panels had some surface rust.

Used parts: B310 5-speeds for example.

You can try to source it in some of the junkyard. Like Sunway are more new parts. You even can see few of the GTR there.
