When my order status still said processing i thought id drop Brent an e-mail to see what was doing.

He replies...."your order will be sent on the 26th of March".....hang on a minute.....you mean to tell me it takes him 20 days to get the parts and send them.

We are supposed to be racing on the 14th of April.....its gonna be touch and go peeps.....ill keep you informed of the progress.....stay tuned!!

How long does shipping take?

Our standard delivery terms are 7 - "21 Japanese business days", however a more accurate shipment estimate is provided on the site when your order is placed. This shipment estimate is then maintained during the life of the order should there be any further updates.

Sort of covers hinself there. 21 business days converts to 28 days, 4 weeks or near a month of standard days

Thanks guys I think ill give it a go. I did try the search but my comp at work has been stuffing up and it was not coming back with results.

Sounds like roughly a month is the longest people have waited for.

Cant wait to get it now

Cheers

Chris

I ordered my splitfires from Nengun on the 10th February, took ages for the tracking to work on it after he finally sent it 3 weeks later.

Then within 2 days it had gone from Japan and arrived at my desk at work :O

Very happy with nengun, great price if you don't mind the wait.

Cheers

My thoughts exactly :O

I have delt with them twice now,

Second order consisted of 5 seperate parts and although it arrived in about 3 weeks, the informativeness (is that a word?) and tracking helped

I always thought he kept stock, at least for some parts - but obviously not.

fwiw, I do parts sales from japan every week (I prefer to deal in genuine parts though - makes life easy), and the average shipping time is 3 days (sometimes 4 or 5, but that's usually due to location and the slackness of australia post). I ship the same way as he does - EMS.

he's obviously having some issues - either personal, or with his suppliers.

and as for the tracking numbers - I've come to the conclusion that they are useless on the japanese side (even using japan post's tracker) - and are only good once they pass into the relevant australian mail center. For goods that _should_ only take 3 days to arrive - makes the tracker a waste of time (except if things go wrong).

Just call the Sydney Customs Gateway Facility (02) 9897 2108 and ask rather than waiting the week it takes them to send you a notice.

a notice about what exactly??

-jd

Well, it could be the standard notice asking for you to provide evidence as to the items worth, at least that's the most likely. Who knows, it could be a letter saying they broke your parcel. Either way, your better off being proactive with customs if you want to see your item this side of a fortnight.

eery Item I've ordered from nengun - which is quite a bit, it says that it has been Retained by customs due to: Other, and everyt time the item showed up at my door the next day.

This is normal, every item passes through customs

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • 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.
