Hello i don't know if this is the right place to start this thread but here goes, i'm in the market to buy a big bulk order of parts and i

was surfing the net looking for whos doing the cheapest prices and i found that www.nengun.com has the best prices, but i have

been hearing really mad things about them such as they will take your money and you wont see anything you order for a long time,

has anyone from here ordered parts from them...? i just need a little feedback on how they are or if someone knows some where

better to order parts from that are reasonably priced.

i wouldnt touch nengun personally, they seem to be getting worse and worse, taking months to deliver goods, they will deliver just dont be in a hurry at all.

try greenline.jp or perfectrun.com.au same prices and great service, ive had gear here in 4 days from payment, if they dont list what u want then email them and they can usually get everything u need.

watch bringing big orders in at once or u will be taxed over 1k, i tend to split orders up incase they check the stuff at customs.

nengun are SLOW but you will get your parts and at a good price!

greenline got my injectors and afm in 7 days... but are a pain in the ass to use due to the emailing back and forth shite

i use j-imports for pretty much everything these days (hence my sig) great prices and service... thuy will get anything you need and do all the f**king around for you...

How long has Nengun been 'slow' for? Is it a processing issue (ie not enuff staff to handle amount of orders) or is it a stock issue? Last time I ordered from Nengun (about 2yrs ago) it took 3 days to arrive.

If your gonna order loads of parts, work out what you want, check various prices around, then email one place and try and get a good deal for buying all from them.

A couple of points to remember...

1. You should get a better price if your buying quite a bit of kit together.

2. Freight costs should be cheaper overall for sending all together (as apposed to separately).

3. Expect customs to add 10% or so to what ever you pay (for international anyway, greenline, nengun, rhd japan etc)

I have bought twice from Nengun, both times my goods arrived in around 3 - 4 weeks, but they always arrived as described and at a great price. It is true they take a long while to ship, so if your in a hurry to get your gear don't buy from them, but if your like me and im sure many others, and your slowly building up everything you need to do what you want then the shipping time isn't critical and the only thing that matters is the price. I've ordered two lots of stuff at around $5000AUD each, never been taxed by customs or anything yet *touch wood*

Nengun have been slow for as long as I can remember.

It is a combination of processing and stock availability. On the one hand it can take them up to 2 weeks to even begin to process your order(that's the worst case I have experienced) and on the other hand Japanese brands often take a long time to deliver products. Most of these import parts businesses do not keep a massive stock on site, due to limited space availability and high rentals in Japan, so they are left at the mercy of the suppliers.

That is what I have found in my experience.

Cheers.

ive purchased a few ordered from nengun, and i thought they were fast

first order took 7 days from japan, which i thought was fine

What's your secret!? :)

If Nengun were always that fast I might never have found J-Imports.

That would a fast delivery in Nengun speak :) Good luck with them speeding it up.

Same here...

Thuy has always done his best to beat the competitors and at the same time, he pays all the import taxes so there is zero danger of getting caught by customs and being stung for tax.

Perfectrun has my vote. Bought all my products from them. Great prices, delivery times, and service.

+ he has a workshop so it is very easy to get into contact with them.

The prices they quote also include import taxes, like above you won't get hit with the hidden costs.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
