Ordered Z32 AFM + connector plug (+/- $440 delivered) last Friday, order & payment was processed by Saturday, and AFM on its way to Australia by Monday, and arrived here today. About 5 days. No problems. As it's less than $1000 no issue with custom duty.

I have never ordered from Nengun.. a bit hesitant based on the poor experiences of others.

I have ordered quite a few things from Greenline and Perfect Run and couldn't be happier with their services.

You will find that buying things from japan is just the same as everything else, you have to compare prices. Sometimes Perfect Run has an item cheaper than the others for eg Splitfire coilpacks and sometimes greenline will have the best price for another item. Don't just think that one place has the cheapest price for everything. They will each have made different deals wiith suppliers and one company could be closer to some suppliers than others so that will effect their prices also.

i mainly use nengun for how easy it is to order... how ever i am now looking at both perfect run and greenline regardless if i have to send emails to order or not (i hate emails)

Updated on 31-Aug-2006 at 4:58pm > confirmed and shipment estimate

I just bought a complete Trust T88-38GK kit here in Victoria cheaper than Nengun,Greenline or Perfect run can supply.I dont know why everyone thinks its cheaper to buy direct from them.

In fact,I got 3 prices from 3 different shops,2 of which had the kit in stock,and they were all cheaper than the above mentioned option.

Look in OZ before you go overseas,cheaper and quicker.

Well if you're going to mention getting stuff cheaper than all 3 of the japanese direct suppliers, how about telling everyone what store it was from...

Okay,Greenline was the cheapest from Japan at $6300 plus whatever taxes are applicable,at 10% its another $600 +,Croydon Racing was $6200 as was RMS.I got it for $6000,pick it up Monday,not sure if the shop wants me to post it up.I will check with him on Monday and if he's cool I will.

No 4 week wait,no Customs wanting $xxxx,warranty issues handled in my own backyard,no wrong product sent.

I have spent untold thousands modifying my 2 Nissans,I'm pretty thorough at getting the right price without ever haggling,which is a pet hate of mine,and I've yet to have to order from overseas for a better price.

I absolutely hate waiting for anything.

Cheers

I have had 5 orders from nengun, the larger orders do seem to take a little while to get organised, but when shipping is a fair portion of the cost of an order it is nice to be able to look at what adding in an extra part will cost you and how the affect the shipping without having to write countless emails back and forth. Items have always arrived in perfect condition, well packaged, sometimes suprisingly quickly, other times quite slow.

If you are after a non critical part, or having the car off the road for an amount of time for a rebuild etc anyway it pays to plan out what you need and try to order in $1000 lots ( if possible to save on customs and postage). That said i had an order worth close to $2000 and did not get stung with customs

I am still waiting on an order from a few weeks ago, but I changed my mind on two items so this time it is my fault (ordered 740cc injectors instead of 555cc)

As far as i have seen nengun have been significantly cheaper than local suppliers - but it all depends on the item i suppose.

Greenline on the other hand ( i was going to try them for the second order) they never responded to my 4 emails.So I gave up on them and went back to nengun,

Until nengun start keeping stock of the items that they sell I will not use them. If they have to source the item then they have no right to charge me for it...dont give a damn what thir website says...its not right.

I know for a fact that shipping only takes 72 hours max from Malaysia/China/Japan/HK to anywhere in Australia

I take back some of my praise after yesterday

I ordered 740cc injectors and then after I paid for these I asked for 555cc injectors instead. There is a $100 difference in the price and they told me that they charge a 25% re-stocking fee as they can not return the 740cc injectors to their supplier.

I expected my $100 back, if not a refund at LEAST a credit for my next order.

I have spent a LOT of money through nengun and i was planning to spend a lot more.

I knew there was time to change the order because they usually take a few weeks before they are sent off.

Even if they do need to hold onto the 740cc injectors I imagine they would be able to sell them VERY easily.

I did not realise they were just a middle man operation and that they didnt actually keep parts in stock. If they stocked parts then a) shipping would be MUCH faster and b) it wouldnt matter if i changed the order they would just ship different ones

And thats my rant

looks like i have to cancel my order for my cam gears, after i ordered them 6 weeks ago. they have changed the delivery time 4 times, and it is about to be changed again....

i used greenline for the first time on friday, and it was great. Jason sent out the item straight away, after the payment is cleared...and the item was cheaper than nengun. looks like poor service from nengun is gonna let them down.

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
