Hello I am a newb.

I know I'm probably asking about a reputable person and reputable store with a reputable record.

But I just need to be sure before xferring k's of $ overseas :)

Anyone dealt with this person/shop ?

Can anyone confirm you don't need to pay customs for a Apexi PFC ?

Thanks guys, and yeah. please don't flame me I just need to be sure to stop my anxiety attacks :)

hey mate, i can only strongly recommend nengun performance, i have purchased a number of products from them, and im currently about to order a large amount of items which cost a few g's but in doing so also is saving me ALOT of g's, for eg the power fc and h/c is like 1300 delivered thats so good considering here in aus its like 1900 for the ecu and 600 for the h/c brand new that is.... i got my parts within 6 days of ordering and they reply all questions etc pretty much instantly and honestly...the best in my opinion...

cheers...ben.

I assume you've found the cheap Power FC as i did a few days ago.

Well i paid my money on the 5th or 6th i think, straight into his Aussie account.

I now have an EMS tracking number and it's either in the air or landed in Australia.

Doesn't take long by the looks of things.

Can't wait! He has an extramely good reputaion on this forum.

He is one of the sponsors and you can see his add sometimes flashing up the top.

If he was no good, the moderators on this forum (at a guess) would not let him operate/advertise through these forums.

I'd go for it man!

Brent is excellent to deal with .. however I did ask him for a part to be priced that wasnt on his list of parts but he didnt come back with answer yet (4months ago).. but he is a good contact in japan and his prices r great compared to his other rivals (greenline/takakaira)

Thats what i think..

Shit yeah thats the response and answers I was hoping/expecting!

You guys all are great for answering!! I'm glad because sometimes the price is too good it aint good but this time obviously it is a freal business and I'm glad!

Please accept my apologies if the owner or friends of the owner reads this I didn't wanna sound too suspicious but its a bit of money cos I'm expecting to drop a few g's. I'm noway a big spender but thats exactly it.

I think I'm gonna order 2 PFC - one for my friend's GTiR.

Do they have different ones for different models ? IE are the looms different perhaps or are they one size fits all pretty much?

Thanks again guys I'm glad theres mad reputable dealers!

um just curious myself as i am ready to order a blitz boost controller from nengun (and i have only heard postive response after another) however this question is not to question the validity nengun but rather to find out what 'extras do you pay' ie taxes, apart from the cost of the product and the shipping?? I am also unsure whether to get a hybrid cooler, or a greedy vspl from nengun as well. My car will probably not see anything more than 200rwkw so i was thinking have considered the hybrid, but im not sure....

sorry to hijack this thread a little with my own question, its still relevant to a degree :)

Re: customs duties, it depends which method of shipping is used.

* If its EMS (or another form of international "courier" [basically anything faster than surface mail/sea]), then anything above A$250 attracts customs duties.

* If its shipped by sea, anything above $1000 attracts customs duties.

A notice a number of the prices nengun lists are "to your door" which means all those costs are already built in. If in doubt, ask.

LW.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
