You have nothing to worry about.

I've had numerous dealings with Greenline and they've been nothing but superb.

Most likely, the part you're after is out of stock temporarily. They will send it as soon as they receive it.

Yep got over $4000 of stuff from greenline recently, and the delay as emre said is when the dont have the part in stock and have to get it from supplier themselves. And some of those japanese suppliers are farking slow, especially HKS i was told.

INASNT, how much cheaper are the parts off greenline/nengun? i mean i look at the prices on their site and they seem too cheap to be true, granted there is still import tax, gst and freight, but when its delivered to your door, is there still that much of a saving? especially on the big items like coolers, exhausts, turbos etc.

Prices aint 2 cheap 2 be true, its just that the prices are marked up a shitload if you go to buy em in a shop here.

If you get a bunch of stuff send together then you save alot on freight. I have never had to pay gst or import tax on any of the stuff i have got in luckly so yes i made a big saving.

so its all luck if you do/dont get hit by customs, ive spoken to a few people who regulary import stuff, not just car parts but clothes, shoes, perfumes etc and they also say theyve never been held at customs. the parts i want are mostly hks, apexi and trust so i should expect a delay

Yeah you have to be unlucky to get hit. Things like multiple packages to the same address or continued delivery over a long period will atract attention but for buyers liek you and I it's normally fine. I had all the same worries when I started buying but you will find they are pretty smart and mark it "gift" anyhoo.

In my experience you will almost always have delays with parts from Japan. If it wern't for the price I wouldn't bother. Sooooo much easier to buy local but can't complain with $100+ savings

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
