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...

+1 for J-Imports

Edit: Nengun are great, but I agree they are VERY slow. Greenline are good, but email is a pain in the ass as Hamish said. I have had good experiences with Slide also.

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.

i get better prices from j-imports than nengun... but i have spent 5 figures plus with him :)

even for my first order he was matching nengun tho...

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.

      R32 GTR fuel gauge not working despite fixing fuel level sender

      By XoRoKu · Posted

      Opened up the cluster to inspect the gauge itself for signs of damage and it looks good. Got curious since that needle doesn't go back to a "neutral" position by itself (it stays in the same position when ignition is off. so I manually moved it to 1/2. Connected it back, turned on the ignition and the needle started moving up! Not sure what's up with that but before that the needle was way down below empty like fully south west. There's always a chance that the needle moved slightly the first time I tried and I didn't notice because of how slowly it moves and how far it was from the markings. I don't know if the current needle position is accurate so I'll fill it up and see where that brings it. I guess I'll try to adjust it manually if it doesn't get to F. Looks like the needle position is relative and not absolute? Thanks all for your help and patience!

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You're confusing two different responders and more than one issue. The stock Neo ECU boost sensor is used by the ECU for protection purposes. It is essentially only an overboost sensor. It is not used for determining engine load for fuelling or ignition purposes. That task falls solely to the AFM. Any aftermarket ECU that either has an onboard MAP sensor or a plug in one, will use the MAP sensor as the primary load sensor. Or I should perhaps say "can", rather than "will", because some of them have the option of using other primary load sensors. That MAP sensor is not for the same function as the stock Neo boost sensor. The reason I recommended against a plug and play ECU is that they are intended to run a particular engine and usually in the car that the particular engine came in. So, if you have a transplanted engine in a different car, with some parts of the original missing (such as the boost sensor, for example) and therefore likely non-standardness of the loom and its insertion into the car's loom, then it is very likely that you will run into the same problems with needing to fix up wiring to make it work that you would with the stock ECU. And, if doing so for the stock ECU is enough of an obstacle that you start considering a standalone plugin as a solution, it should become clear that the plugin is quite possibly not the solution you'd hope it to be. It would just lead to more of the same type of problem solving work to get it going. In the above paragraph and in my earlier post, the lack of the boost sensor is not critical. It was just used as an example of something that we knew you did not have right, such that the stock ECU would not work. I took that as an indicator of a reasonable probability that there were other related problems hiding there.

      I can think of two places in my city of <1.5million population that specialise in automotive instrument repairs.Unless you're out in the wilds of Quebec, you have 3 major Canadian and 3 major US cities within the same distance as the single nearest city to mine. Surely there is somewhere you could send it.

      Can anyone shed some insight on this Turbo?

      I never cared for twins but whenever these conversations came up, I always presumed the higher number represented a larger turbo. Learn something new everyday.

      how do i install this 3 port mac valve for boost control?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Interesting, I've never seen a failure like that before but with the age of these cars and the general questionable-ness of all kinds of parts these days you can't rule anything out I suppose. Boost leak testing the boost control system would've revealed this though.
