About Us

Established in April 2003, SRB Power initially specialised in Japanese sports cars with SR20DET and RB20/25/26DET(T) engines, which is where the name SRB came from. SRB Power started importing tuning parts from the biggest and most respected names in the Japanese aftermarket tuning scene, including HKS, Blitz, A'PEXi, Trust/GReddy, Defi and were one of the first UK companies to have an official account with Tein Suspension Japan, who later set up a UK operation to better serve the UK and European market. Our first shipment came in July 2003 by air...

In late 2003, SRB Power took an order from a very excited customer and then imported the 1st Nissan S13/180sx to S15 Silvia front end conversion kit, using our contacts in Japan to source a combination of GP Sports, West Yokohama and Chargespeed products, along with the required OEM Nissan parts including the headlights, to make the conversion process as simple as possible for our customer in Switzerland.

In 2004 SRB Power became the exclusive importer and European distributor for the respected Japanese "Chargespeed" branded aero parts, shipping the products direct from their factory to the UK inside fully loaded shipping containers, by ocean freight, to drive the cost of the parts down so that they could be sold in the UK at prices which were close, and sometimes lower than the Japanese selling price. We continued to do this until around 2012, when a lack of demand for the parts and a high shipping cost for small shipments meant it was no longer viable to continue. 

June 2005 saw SRB Power sponsor GT Battle, a show at Rockingham Raceway. This was a one off show that saw two of the biggest names in Japanese drifting, Nomuken ad Kazama, show the UK exactly what drifting was all about. SRB Power has had involvement in the drifting scene ever since.

In 2005 we started supporting a local customer, James Hudson, with a sport that was new to us and would grow increasingly over the next decade. Yes, we are talking about drifting! James had been learning to drift on the video game Enthusia (no, we're not joking!) and was determined to do it for real....and do it well he did! James wowed the crowds in his Nissan 200sx S14 at the TRAX car show in September 2005, leaving a trail of tyre smoke in his wake and making sure everyone there knew who SRB Power were.

While James was busy shredding tyres at the TRAX show, SRB Power had a number of cars on display to show off the range of Chagespeed bodykits, along with other products including alloy wheels.

We had some promo girls there too...

October 2005 saw the Japanese drift series D1GP arrive in the UK. The original and most famous drift series in the world was here to put drifting firmly on the map. SRB Power was there to support it, and to become the first company outside of Japan to have a contract with Ken Nomura (Nomuken) and become an official importer and European distributor for his "Uras" branded parts line up.

 

Over the years we have helped numerous car owners with the right parts to make their car, THEIR car, and that's what it's all about we think. Some of those cars have graced magazine covers and inside pages in the UK and overseas.

Mostly though, we just import and distribute parts to car owners and other business's across mainland Europe and beyond, which is what we do best :).  We are an official UK importer of XXR Wheels and dealers for many other respected and recognised brand makes from many countries. Our website is under continuous development and new parts are added all the time. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please do contact us by phone or email, and we will do our best to help you, providing the highest level of service, whilst remaining competitive with our pricing.
