try this dude

http://www.jappartsspecialist.com

i just order my S15 power fc brand new around 1000AUD

and i just search the price from here, they do have the similar price like negun and jappartspecialist, but seems japparts sells lots of stuff in ebay and the feedback are excellent...

anyway just my personal suggestions, since i already brough a few things from them.

Lachlan, I have dealt with both, but only purchased from Greenline.

Greenline have to get parts from the manufacturer, and if they are available, they are pretty quick, ie 1 week. the longest Ihave had to wait is 3 weeks. you can ask about availability when you e-mail them.

Greenline were very helpful with product information, and even researched parts without my asking - point in note, I asked for a price for a Trust type R BOV, and they new I had a GTSt, they e-mailed back with the cost but also a warning that the bov is for GTR. I found them very helpful, good presales and aftersales service.

Nengun, I wanted some info on second hand parts. He took some time replying to my e-mail, but didnt answer all my questions (about power fc pro), so I resent. He could not answer my questions, nor direct me to where I could find out info on the product, his replies were very short and what I consider abrupt. He gave me the impression that he didnt have much time to spend with customer service. so I have been spending my money elsewhere.

Just my experiences, and the opinions expressed are my own. I know some people have had good results with Nengun, and I am sure if you knew what you wanted and just order from him, the whole process would be alot quicker and easier than if you require product info.

Just gotta throw in here, have a look at www.fvej.co.jp (or www.fvej.com) there is an expat aussie working for them, he has got me the best deal on second hand parts EVER, 40mm HKS wastegate second hand in near new condition for $290 delivered is one example. Definately worth a try - he doesnt get bargains all the time, but he has second hand (and new) suppliers all over Japan, and does do some killer deals - did I ever tell you how much my new HKS 3037 turbo was from him?

Thanks all.

Enrico, nothing specific just yet.

Steve, thanks for the info, and I pretty much agree with what you said re knowledge and service. Thanks for the other link and yes, Greg did tell me how much you paid and it was sweet FA!

Anyone else with any experiences with both these suppliers?

I emailed both Greenline and Nengun on the same day for quotes on the same part. Greenline responded within a couple of hours so I deposited the money and they shipped my order straight away.

I only received an email response from Nengun on the day my parts arrived from Greenline, that being about 2 weeks. Jason was really helpful so I'd recommend them :P

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
