We are thrilled to announce we have recently secured a showroom / warehouse space in Portland, Oregon. We will be keeping our first offical showroom in the US stocked with plenty of parts and goods from Kids Hear, Wonder, D-Max, 326 Power, Final Konnexion, and much more. In addition, we'll have used tuning parts available for the S13, S14, R32, A31 and C33 platforms. You can expect to see plenty of awesome used wheel sets on hand as well. Our Portland shop will be receiving bi-monthly containers full of JDM awesomeness so the supply will never run dry. We'll also have some great 100% federally legal RHD cars on-hand for purchase and ready to drive home. Our grand opening will be in the spring of 2015. Expect a big announcement soon and don't worry Chicago... we have plans for you as well...

[Sforteen]

[Dustxking]

Finally! Someone in the backyard.

[BlueKpS13]

Hurry up and open so I can swing down and snag a cefiro!

[jerry_beans]

Wow! This sounds good!

[RurouniMidnight]

Radical, Come to the port of Houston! haha

[右側のドライブシルビア]

Moving to the NW now, congrats!

[jerry_beans]

Radical, Come to the port of Houston! haha

I agree with this right here

[GTR-Garage]

Hurry up and open so I can swing down and snag a cefiro!

Ironically enough we'll have one for sale at our grand opening, with full Wonder aero, 2-way LSD, SSR Professors, etc.. :2f2f:

[Dboyizmlg]

Oh man, I'm so excited!

Also congratulations on your business growth!

[ferrariowner123]

YAY!!

Glad to hear you are moving to the PNW

[revat619]

The lady and i are planning a trip to Portland in early spring! Perfect! She can go visit the friends she's dying to see and i can not be part of any of that and go see/buy cool car parts! lol FTW!

[angel mkiv]

Oh hell yeah I'm only 2 1/2 hours away!!!love this

[KevinEdgar]

Man, another reason for me to leave to California.

[frostie00]

Looking forward to checking this place out!

[iRONDONkey]

you need a spot on the east coast.

[future]

West Coast love

[simmode1]

Radical, Come to the port of Houston! haha

This. Texas loves GTR Garage too!

[GTR-Garage]

We appreciate the support guys. If all goes well in Portland, Chicago is next and then Houston will be on our radar...

[GTR-Garage]

If anyone has suggestions about what they'd like to see available please let us know. We always appreciate the feedback.

The shop is being designed to specifically cater to the drift community along with Skyline owners of course.

[future]

You don't see a market in California? We have the biggest car scene year around

[GTR-Garage]

We can't sell cars in California. We are always going to have Skyline, Cefiros, Laurels, Silvias, etc.. available for purchase at our shop(s) and we can't do that in California.

[LEG1T]

East coast needs a warehouse!! ;)

[TheRealSy90]

How about AZ? Haha, I can dream... Seems to be a lot of customers of yours in the phoenix area though.

[dudermagee]

East coast needs a warehouse!! ;)

Anywhere is California is just a weekend trip away.or day if your closer..still on the west coast

[hellaslows13]

Man, another reason for me to leave to California.

California doesn't want you anyways :fawkd:

...email me [email protected]

[GTR-Garage]

...email me [email protected]

It's being kept under wraps until the grand opening. We're thinking about sending the Zebra as well....

[dudermagee]

D-max aero sale would be super awesome....

[fatduece]

[email protected] yeah!!! Im 2 hrs away from portland!!! GTR garage!!! <3333333333333333333333333333333333333:2f2f:

[crzsteveo]

i honestly think a east coast warehouse would be best. there are a few areas that have huge warehouses for super cheap.

[GTR-Garage]

Portland is ideal for us as we have a great rep there along with a big existing customer base. In addition, shipping containers through Tacoma is cheapest for us. It is much more expensive to send containers to the east coast.

[iRONDONkey]

come to atlanta.

i got a quote of under $180 to ship a pallet with an engine on it to the state of AK.

[Dustxking]

Biggest thing i would say is just have lots of suspension parts and wheels for the PNW. Lots of drifting year round so everyone will need spare suspension parts and wheels.

[Ilya]

Any plans for stocking front clips / engines? a few SR20s would be prime before the weekend?

Portland has a great car scene, just stay true to your work, and dont take on more than you can handle, like some of the shops that closed in the Portland area.

[rundown240]

How about AZ? Haha, I can dream... Seems to be a lot of customers of yours in the phoenix area though.

^^^THIS! Phoenix has your back. Get it done sir and I'll be there religiously during track weekends!

We are staying away from motors because there is too much potential for trouble. If by taking on more work than can be handled you mean tuning, that won't be an issue for us. We will be doing absolutely no tuning. It is simply a retail shop and warehouse space for us. Portland Speed Industries is right down the road from us so customers can swing over there with any parts they need installed or tuning work done.

[GTR-Garage]

Noted. We will have plenty of wheels and we're planning on having a nice assortment of suspension arms. Lots of Ikeya and Kazama rods and arms. We'll have some Kids Heart steering components on hand as well. We're actually holding back some special wheels we have on hand for the grand opening. Should be fun for all those that come out.

We're pinning down the weekend, but the grand opening will be during one of the weekends in March.

[Q--]

Finally a good place for us 240sx guys! Can't wait for this to open and get my Skyline RB front clip.

[fatduece]

How's the parking lot space? It would be cool to have a meet once a month!!!

[dorkidori_s13]

wow, would you look at that... a sunny day in Portland hahahah ;)

[e1_griego]

Doesn't matter what you carry, 97% of the drift-tards here are broke as fuck and won't spend money on decent parts even if they have it.

Excited to come visit, though!

[Scope240sx]

this is awesome!!

[turbronegro]

Ugh I'm always tempted.

[Clutch927]

Are your emails open for requests and what not

[YoungTunerGOD]

You need a warehouse in the North East basicly untapped market for jdm or tuner

[om3ga]

D-max aero sale would be super awesome....

D-Max USA is back and FRSport carries a lot of their items. Not sure if it would be worthwhile for GTR Garage to do this as well or not.

[NismoPlsr]

This x100000000000000000000

Times another 100000000000000000000.

It obviously costs more to get a container to the east coast but man, it has to be cheaper than all us paying UPS or FedEx to get aero parts across the country from Portland.

[GTR-Garage]

D-Max USA is back and FRSport carries a lot of their items. Not sure if it would be worthwhile for GTR Garage to do this as well or not.

FR Sports is D-Max USA we believe. They brought in a large container of their parts earlier this year.

We'll have some D-Max parts in stock, but we generally don't bother with their aero kits because there are so many knock-offs out there that are cheaper and of comparable (or superior depending on the run) quality.

Our Portland shop is going to be a bit of a special place with an assortment of hard to find and rare goods and accessories along with new and used tuning parts. It is not hyperbole when we say there will be no place in the US like it. :coolugh:

We've been setting some cool stuff aside specifically for the showroom. In March customers will literally be able to walk into our shop and leave with a zebra Thrash bucket seat, 18x10J Blitz Technospeed Z1s, Ikeya Formula tie rods, any issue of Drift Tengoku (we will literally have all of them), a handful of Kids Heart and Bad Quality stickers, a Keiichi Tsuchiya Nardi wheel, Reinhard titnium exhaust and Car Modify Wonder carbon hood.

[fatduece]

You guys need to work something out with bnsports. Then you'll be #1

[GTR-Garage]

We're actually calling them tomorrow to check stock levels ironically enough.

[blackghost13]

sweet finally something awesome in oregon :) now if you guys need personal :)

[GTR-Garage]

Spoke with BN Sports and they have no current stock. We have to place an order and then they will make it. Because of the New Years holiday they wouldn't be able to process the order until after the first week of January, which means there is a chance they may not make this container. They would have to go on our next container, which would be in March.

I thought you sale 50 state legal cars? Who am i going to get my R34 from in the future? ):

[GTR-Garage]

Unless California changes their laws by then you're going to need to move to another state.

[Dboyizmlg]

^^ exactly!

Unfortunately us california people pay more for every thing here.
The only state that is so DAMM strict...

[future]

Fuck it, fuck you Cali. You guys can't do R32 here either?

And there are a couple R32 - R34 I've seen. What about the show car rule? You ever brought in with that intention? From what I read it can be street driven but just very low miles

[GTR-Garage]

To register a direct import in California it has to be at least a 1976 model or older. The Hakosuka and Kenmeri GT-Rs you guys have running around are legal. The 25 year exemptions and show and display rule apply in California. You can legally import and own a 25 year old car, they're just not going to let you register or plate them.

[future]

So the rule let's us import, buy and pay taxes. But let it sit in the garage? Awsome! Lol


Good thing I'm moving to Louisiana, do you have any idea on thier laws for importing? Or smog even? I'm hoping it's not another California. I'd love to run a open exhaust (no cats) and not worry about smog or CARB


Thanks for your help so far! I need a R34 in my future or I'm not going to die complete

Not all parishes require SMOG.

[future]

What does that mean? You can sale me a car if i live in Louisiana?

[GTR-Garage]

What does that mean? You can sale me a car if i live in Louisiana?

You asked about SMOG and it is only required in some parts of Louisiana.

[future]

That's beautiful. And I'm guess I'm free to import anything 25 and older there? I'm moving there for work and I might pos live out there. If I can own my dream car there then fuck it. I want to be first on your waiting list for a R34 LOL

Yes, but it's going to be a while for an R34.

Off the record:
Let's say you know some one in Oregon; family, friend, girlfriend what ever it is.
You can buy and register the car in Oregon get plates, paper work, an just bring it over to California. End of story

But..... It's not quite legal, if a neighbor or friend, or hater sees you driving the car with Oregon plates and know you live in California they can report you to the CHP. Then this is where you have issues..

[frizzle]

Stocking 326 coilovers for S-chassis?

[fatduece]

They would have to go on our next container, which would be in March.How can I figure out the prices? I've seen bn on RHD, but I'm not sure if those are marked up or not. I'm interested in the "type 4" kit plus the front and rear overfenders.

We are going to work out pricing with them after the holiday. No BN Sports on this container unfortunately.

[GTR-Garage]

Probably not. They are a hard sale because of the pricing.

I actually plan to live in Louisiana. So it's a win win! Now if I can save enough for a R34. I doubt they will be as cheap as the imported R32 are going for (17k-22k)

[GTR-Garage]

You can expect to pay at least $30k.

[future]

You keep giving me good news. I was expecting like 40k. You will have my business in like 15 years when we can get them lol

its my goal in life

[turbronegro]

He said AT LEAST 30k....

[GTR-Garage]

He said AT LEAST 30k....

Yes, and the "at least" should definitely be capitalized. The BNR34 have maintained their value much better than the BCNR33 or BNR32. It will be interesting to see what sort of inflation once they start hitting the 25 year mark. :eek:

[future]

Like I said I was already planning on 40k for my dream car since I was like 12. I'm paying that for a new STI, I have no problem spending that on my dream car. Hopefully the don't come all rusted

[s0fa king]

awesome! keep up the good work GTR Garage!!

[tricky_ab]

You can expect to pay at least $30k.

I've had people look into a few of the $30K landed models in Canada, and passed on them. They were ROUGH... Seriously.

I've been following the market and I'd budget $40-50K for a solid higher grade car.

[future]

We have a lot of saving time. Cause the early year R34 are not what most one. I need me a V-Spec II Nur

- Kids Heart
- PS Duce

- D-Max

[BossHogg]

You realize there are only 750 of those ever made, so pricing will most likely be a premium. I would hope you can get one by the time 2027 arrives lol.

[future]

Hell the real dream is a Z-Tune. But I'm not that optomistic lol


sorry OP for derailing thread

[jerry_beans]

In for some zenki bn sport type iii!!

[GTR-Garage]

Working out the final details, but we will also be stocking Juran Racing.

[GTR-Garage]

Would there be any interest in Central Auto's Boss aero kits? We have a couple sets of their rear overfenders, but we were thinking about picking up a couple full kits as well.

Tentative grand opening is scheduled for Saturday April the 4th.

[McRussellPants]

Gonna have to come out and eat all the free food and hassle you about throwing some pan speed fenders in a container for me.

No need to hassle. Just ask. :coolugh:

We're going to have a few cool cars on hand during the grand opening for sale include an absolutely mint H252 President VIP Sovereign. Only 22,000 original miles. Yakuza-style in the the Pacific Northwest.

is there going to be an online site for the portland shop??

[90S13hatch_tony]

What about DMAX Coilovers?! It would be awesome to have those shipped within the nation as opposed to overseas?
