Hi Guys,

I just cant understand why the exact same clutch is bieng sold in AUS for $2500 but on Nengun its only

Take a look for yourselves:

http://www.nengun.com/exedy/hyper-metal-twin-plate-clutch

It says that it could take up to 6 weeks to arrive, but have anyone on here ordered a clutch or similar item through them ?

Does it really take that long?

Cheers guys

dont forget to add import tax ontop of $1k orders from nengun.

but yes same reason as above lol, and yeah they will use the ETA to the full extent + more sometimes hahaha

although i just did 2 orders a few weeks ago and it was spot on with the ETA.

I hope you are patient if you do decide to order from Nengun. :rofl:

I am sure that you can find the same part from another source that actually has it in stock, but they won't be as cheap as Nengun. Depends on how urgently you need it, I guess.

NYTSKY UR RIGHT

If the freight was'nt so high I would be buying everything from overseas

Nungun are overall good for parts orders

Anything f*ks up on the delivery and they will drop you like a stone tho

First hand experiance with missing parts in an order and they did nothing to fix it

Used Greenline

No problems

They don't have as many parts on line than Nengun tho

But are a little cheaper

Only reason I use Nengun still is because I can pay by Pay Pal on the spot.

It's too easy and my bank ballance shows it

I have been using Import Monster to get a second hand set of rims with tyres from Japan

Have'nt got them yet so will have to see

Anybody used Import Monster?

Greenline is better than Nengun

Ordering BBS 17 LM rims

Good to hear that they are ok

First time I have used them.

Ur right with shipping lol

Cost of shipping is the same as the cost of the rims 1500 + 1500 shipping

ive ordered from nengun twice.. first one was delivered on time, second one (turbo) was delivered ahead of the ETA by about a week.. so I can't complain at all with their service. Definitely worth looking at buying overseas if you've got the patience..

^^LOL :D would it be unethical to share your experiences? id be interested to hear.

ive ordered all manner of things for numerous cars from greenline over the past years, from dash clusters to driveline parts, and never once have had a problem, most cases the items were earlier than expected, with a confimation as soon as they send it off to you.

never tried nengun tho.

greenline are great i have no problem with them they've been suprisingly quick to reply to emails

nengun like to send stuff via a barge thats been towed behind an 80 yr old cripple in a kayak

as i said above tho i now use dan from elite for all my gear.. has been able to beat or match any price ive come across

oh.. and if you complain enough to nengun when your order is taking long enough they will actually delete your account the moment your gear arrives and refuse to sell to you ever again ;)

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
