depends on the item and customs and who checks it and how they feel on the day

most items should get here ok and pass fine. i got powerfc and it cleared fine.

delivery once sent takes about 3-4 days and u get a tracking number.

my pfc left jap thursday arvo was at my place monday lunch time.

once you order it might not be shipped instantly so could be a delay.

my was shipped about 1.5 weeks after payment cleared, just delays with suppliers and stuff, nothing drastic really. the items are marked on the packagin "these goods are exempt and do not pay gst" or something to that affect to try and persuade customers from taxing it

nengun are good they just take a little while to start shipping when there posted there here in like 4-5 days . on the packaging its marked as gift so it slips thru on things under $1000 with no tax but things like exhaust's and turbos etc would be a little harder but yes they are super cheap!

I ordered a Trust head gasket which i really need a couple weeks ago and its still processing (payment received), havnt got a reply email yet either but im sure it will be ok..

Greenline is MUCH faster in my opinion I have bought many things from them, probably will stick with them if i can.

I have bought various items from nengun, and will buy more in the near future.

From the time my payment was cleared at status upgraded to "processing" it took approx 3-4 weeks to upgrade to "delivered" and another week till i received the item.

I have no issues with the time period, so i am happy with the service.

reflex - urs was confirmed on 27th.......i also ordered a PFC and was confirmed on the 23rd.

but stil says delivery TBA.

:)  

i hate waiting for things

Jim, i'm in exactly the same boat as you mate. PFC payment confirmed on 23rd, still waiting with delivery TBA.

Did expect to wait a while, as with all things ordered on the net, but this is damn annoying. Will stay with Greenline after this.

  • 6 months later...

I've purchased from nengun. I did not get hit with taxes/customs fees but may have been lucky.

The cost including shipping is correct as far as nengun is concerned but u may need to be prepared for the customs.

Delivery times vary greatly. Some have had 2 weeks turnaround while others over a month, it also depends how busy they are and also what suppliers are doing in Japan (dont try to order things near Golden Week etc).

has any one purchased anything off nengun?

i have a rather large order and woundering if the estimated total is correct (within 100$)

also to they hit you with any import fees..

how long did it take to arrive?

thanks heaps guys keep up the good work

What does nengun put on the EMS form? is it mark as a gift and is the amount the real amount or is it something like under $300?

i think if the item is over $300 you should get tax. but it all depends

i think tax is like 15%, and EMS takes about 5 to 7 working days from japan to australia (when i order stuff if it is sent on monday i get it that friday) but you also have to add the time it takes the buyer (nengun) to get the item and sent it off,as im pretty sure they dont stock anything.

i would say it should take between 1 to 2weeks

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
