hey all,

Does anyone have any idea on the status of CJP? I bought a car (50% deposit anyway) off them in Dec last year. Well i was overseas, so a good friend of mine did it for me. I have since them bought numerous other goodies that will get shipped with the car in August this year. However, i have heard some conflicting stories about them. Have i f*cked up? Any ideas/info on my situation? Can anyone relate? Thanks

Hope this helps...

Business closed start of the year. They left a note stating they would close and would reopen upon returning from hollidays(international students). They didnt return. Adding to this, there were alot of 'letter of demands' posted on the doors.

If you are genuine about your loss, let me know. I can put you onto the people who know a couple of them.

Best of luck.

Is this even a serious post? You mentioned u bought a 180sx in the beginning with a full payment of over $12,000. Now its a GTR. And even if it was a GTR as appose to a 180sx, you are taking it pretty relaxed for someone who will never see that sum of money again. And I assure you, they arent returning.

i heard that they all got sent back to china or wherever they came from because they are international students. as u might know u are not allowed to open a business if u are not a permanent resident of Aus. apparently they got sent back within 24hrs of them being found out. ive heard from many ppl that they are not replying to emails and havent returned any deposits either.

i think it would be hard getting to them...all the best to those whom are still waiting for their goods

Seriously why would you give people like this a depost?

Have you seen their website (www.cityjapparts.com), all the spelling mistakes throughout the site, oh btw the site has not been updated since 25/2/2004... they are well gone.

Oh one of my Supra's was owned by a friend of these guys, he sold it just before leaving to go back to China... this was in about October last year... he said he was not returning so yeah.

N/A: I never said it was a 180sx. It has always been a GTR. I have no idea where you got 180sx from. And as for full payment, i did mention 50% deposit and not full payment. Also, I am not that relaxed as it appears.

Drift Spec: I paid the deposit in December so that was before their final update.

u got pumped by these pricks you poor bastard, I spoke to a cop friend of mine, these dudes are long gone, they set up in oz take all the deposits and jet back OS, there is nothing you can do as international laws for this type of fraud dont exist.

good luck though, I hate scum like the ones that have done you over.

Hi,

I also once put a deposit on some parts from CJP and they really took there time to try and organise it they promised the R32 coilovers to me in 2 weeks after waiting about 2 months and several phone calls asking for my goods with no progress i went in there and demanded my money back which also took them a couple of weeks to organise but i ended up getting my money minus 10% for there so called trouble.

good luck i hope you either get your goods or your car and stock.

yeah been to their shop last year, very unfriendly, very bare workshop. Not professional. I wanted to get an Evo turbo from them, they showed me a pic of one and I ask them to confirm it is an Evo turbo, they said yes, then I said how come it has the part number of a Galant turbo instead? then they just insist it's the right one.

So dodgy. I never went back. Lucky I have found myself a genuine supplier and now I sell the cheapest Evo turbos around. :)

      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.
