KANEBO CHAMOIS :: Japans Number 1 Selling chammy (2002)

Hi guys. For those of you out there who have used a Kanebo Chamois; no further introduction will be needed and you'd probably want to buy one up already! But for those who don't know:

These chamois are far better than anything you've ever used. You think the Meguires one is good? It is, but it's of lesser quality and durability than this chamois. I've tried way too many chammy's but they're all crap and don't soak properly. These were sold in Australia about 10+ years ago but not anymore for some strange reason. My dad bought one 10+ years ago and we're still using it today (though after 10 yrs it has become a little torn lol)

After a long long search I have found an oversea's supplier: SINTONG TRADING. They were hard to find as they were rebranded to AION PLAS CHAMOIS years ago.

These images accurately portray the effectiveness of the chamois (and I Kid you not!):

GROUP BUY CANCELLED. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THESE WERE SOLD LOCALLY. YOU CAN PURCHASE THESE AT SUPERCHEAP AUTO

Cheers, Ben.

Hi guys, Thanks for the quick replies. The price I'm guessing would be APPROXIMATELY $20 - 25 delivered. Keep in mind you are paying for japans BEST chammy.

These are like no other. People lucky enough to still have one.

my parents got one ages a go not sure where from though. I have tried a few difffernt brands but no good, inlcuding all the expensive ones from autobarn.

If these chamois' are as good as they sound, thats a good price! Japans best Chamois?! I want to try it! I just paid more than that for a big Kenco thing

The Aion chammys are still available at supercheap auto for about $8 for the small one.

There's nothing special about them. it's good, but no better than a kenco.

In the comparison image, it's compared to a towel. Of course it'll dry better.

the kanebo plas chamois kicks ass. my parents got one and its something like 20 years old, but still in great condition. works so much better than the crappy ones i have too.

someone check out super cheap auto and tell us if they still stock them and prices.

Many people are already aware of how good these things are. I have never seen these anywhere before.

I will go out to supercheap auto today to check if they indeed stock these. If so, the group buy will be cancelled for obvious reason. I am not here to profit on this group buy. The reason for those costs are for postage reasons as they are coming via japan via singapore.

The size of these are (large) 680x430.

I just checked my chammy sitting on my desk. I bought 3 of them, because I only ever use them twice, then chuck them.

Aion Plas Chamois Synththetic

Made in Japan

Sole importer Nichimen Australia Ltd

Size 340 x 430

Bought 3 of them last week at supercheap auto. Woolies also used to sell them.

They're good, but no different from the kenco one.

$8 each from supercheap.

Big and small sizes available. Big one is like $15

LOLL MAJOR UPDATE: GB CANCELLED

Just dropped by supercheap now:

Large ones are $15.45

Small: $8.25

my apologies. These are GREAT... they last for years. all those who have had a kenabo chammy can tell you that its literally lasted them 10 years or so!

These are rebranded KENABO chammys! The new name is AION PLAS. I ordered one from singapore which is why the price is sitting at around $20.

The Kenco ones are full leather. These ones are made from a PVA sponge which are used in cosmetic applications. They are softer on the surface of your cars paint.

And I would say the quality is better. thicker bigger and known to last many many years.

This thread i guess can serve as a reminder that the kenabo chammys were rebranded to AION PLAS.

Cheers, Ben.

>> This group buy was organised by me to try to benefit the members of SAU. I was unaware that these were sold locally. Hence me cancelling the group buy. The brand is relatively unknown in Australia but these are top chammys with jap quality.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
