hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone here has dealt with either Greenline Motorsports or Nungen Performance Parts, when buying their parts, and if so what where your experiences like - which is better??

Looking at buying an Apexi-AVCr - so was just wondering which is the better of the two, too get my hard earned cash and I surpose to a degree which can I trust the most...?

Thanks for any help.... :uh-huh:

both seem to be good sites....ive bought stuff from nengun with no hassles. i would assume greenline would be the same as they are both in the same business....so i dont think trust is much of a concern, just comes down to who has the better prices:D:D

I got my Apexi pod and S-AFC from Nengun last year. Brilliant service, the pod to fit an R33 was quite rare at the time (a lot more common now), hardly anyone in Australia had them. He did a lot of hunting around until he found one, and he kept me up to date with emails etc. The parts arrived in perfect condition, and I'll definitely buy through him again when I get some spare cash together :O

Oh, and the pod worked out to be around $90 plus postage. Compare that price to what you see on some Australian websites! I forget the price of the S-AFC, but I think it was around $550. Both were well under $700 including postage anyway.

Nengun. There's not much info there, send him an email.

Exactly the problem with nengun !!!

Greenline has an excelent website, up2date prices and plenty of info.

Nengun might as well not even have a website, prices are out of date, stock is shown on the website that either isnt instock, no longer capable of getting, etc etc. C'mon Nengun either spend 1 night re-doing your website or pay someone $500 to get it done professionally.

Working in the ISP industry i can tell you right now that your website is extremely important as its your image and image is everything.

Who would I buy from? Greenline.

Website is excelent, email support is fantastic and they have everything that I need at a great price.

thanks guys for all your help,

sorry i haven't posted a reply earlier, but i'm in the middle of my uni exams so it's been a bit rushed at the moment for time

just wanted to make sure either of the two websites were good and trustworthy - u know, got to check these things when it comes to hard earned cash being spent on parts from places i don't even know - greenline does look the pick of the two at the moment - really cheap prices - makes you think why anyone would buy through a shop???

cheers

Nengun is extremely reliable, trustworthy and best of course, cheap! Brent is a top guy and would have no hesitation in recommending him. i think that it's unfair to judge him on what his website is like. Sure, some things are out of date on there and with the fluctuating Japanese Yen and Aussie dollar of course his prices and stock won't always be accurate. Nengun has a business to run, and being a "one man band" i'm sure that he is extremely busy filling in all of our orders....

I agree however that a non-updated website appears to be a non-active business. I know that is wrong in this case (sometimes quite the opposite.. too busy to update the website), but it can be the perception. Esp a business that does runs pretty much via the web to transact.. so i can understand the uncertainty there. But yer, i work in the web industry myself - lol :P

anyway, both are apparently good sites.

the only beef i've had with nengun is the times i've ordered things they've been nabbed by customs and i've had to pay duties on them, thus making them not really worth the effort

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
