Update....ordered parts on the 6th.....delivery date said the 18th....i thought ok...sweet.

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

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
