Garage R displays plenty of base cars, mainly in the ¥300,000 range, including C33s and other models . Its view is that a standard car has fewer body problems, and customers will be happier choosing the modifications they need after purchase. The shop is also skilled at tuning: an RB20-to-RB25 swap costs ¥215,000 including the engine and labor; an SR20 swap costs ¥315,000…
…can also have the work done at these prices. Original parts include clutches, bucket seats and other items [list partly damaged]. Exhausts in particular are effectively semi-custom: choose stainless steel, titanium or a semi-titanium version, with options for silencer size, glass-wool quantity and an additional center silencer.
If your model is not in the lineup, leave the car for about a week and the shop can make a one-off exhaust. The guide price is only about ¥5,000 above a ready-made item. The current campaign offers engine, gearbox and differential oil changes for ¥11,000 including oil—cheaper than doing it yourself, says the article.
