has anyone had problems with these guys? ive had nothing but dramas for the past 5 weeks chasing a air flow meter. I paid for it and they sent one. it had water in it and was full of rust and not working. after telling them and sending pics they said they will replace it and I never got anything. I was waiting another 2 weeks for it to arive than I called them yesterday and they told me they didnt even send anything when they told me its on its way and asked for my bank details to refund me the money.

has any one had problems with them? ive bourght alot of parts off them and never had problems before.

ive gone to just jap today to buy another and the condition of the one from just jap is in 100% good condition. I think ill be staying at just jap now

From personal experience, I know them to not have a decent customer service experience, as with 80% of wreckers out there.

Also are you reffering to JustJap or JJ AutoParts (formerly known as Just Japanese Auto Parts)? JJ AutoParts have a proper office and I think they are by far the most professional wreckers out there (though their site could be a bit better for viewing and browsing experience).

The impression I got when I drove there a couple of times is that it's basically two guys who buy halfcuts and wrecks and fill containers with bits then sell them off. Quality of parts and service don't seem to take a high place on their priority list, but that being said, the prices are reasonable enough that you can't really complain.

The last thing I bought was a GTR wing, and I was told they would have it ready for me on arrival. When I arrived they had the whole boot ready for me and the sales guy helped me load it into the Forester. When I got it home, I wanted to remove the wing and put it on my boot instead of try to peel the GTR badge and VSpec stickers off the GTR boot (and it was not as nice as my boot condition-wise).

Only then I noticed the crack under the LED where it was broken when they tried to remove it. When I started to undo it all, the double-sided tape on one side was peeled, indicating that it was previously messed with, and the nuts with captive washers were mostly missing and some were replaced with smaller non-washer nuts, so you could see where the previous (wider) washer-nuts were previously.

So, a bit broken and obviously when it happened they gave up and decided not to tell me that it was no longer "perfect condition" and to give me the whole boot so that I thought that they hadn't touched it. I CBF following up on it because I wanted it and i'd removed my boot and wing already and it is over an hour drive to get to their unit. I'm sure if I hung out I could get a better one for the $500 I paid, but I was impatient.

So... mixed results, and at the end of the day they are a business and i'm sure they would refund or exchange on broken or 'not as described' things. Slow contact and response is par for the course for a small-time operator like this. I get almost immediate responses from Import Monster and JustJap, but they will cost almost twice as much for most things.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
