Amayama - are they this poor?

so I Put a few orders in for Amayama and they all show green "ordered from supplier" or "sent from supplier"

The earliest August one was listed as expected delivery 13th Sep by "Fastway Couriers" (it was listed as delivered to warehouse by 12th sep).

so naturally, I'd like to know the status..

- they do not reply to online messages despite the interface for logged in customers.

- they do not pick up the phone it just rings to voice mail or gets cut off

At this point wondering if I just turn up at  24 Norman St, Peakhurst, Sydney, with print out in hand, will they all run and hide behind the shipping supplies?

Yeah I've used Amayama a lot and found them to be good (nothing orders sometimes get cancelled after they check with Nissan). 

International deliveries are a disaster at the moment but Fast Track are local and if they have the package there should be a tracking number available.

Have you heard what's happening with global shipping lately?

yes, that I understand.( however, i get DHL from japan in days.)

what I do not understand is ghosting customers who ask after an order that their own system says they have, and should have been delivered 10 days ago

Dude I have stuff on the way at the moment too from them, same delays. They are usually 10/10, but the shipping at the moment from overseas just is what it is. "Sent by supplier" just means they are waiting for the stock themselves.

You do realise Amayama is not like RHDjapan or Nengun right ?, where they specifically obtain and ship your order independently from other orders. Amayama do bulk stock orders for multiple customers parts overseas, which all get shipped together, then they individually ship it once it's in Australia. Notice you only get tracking within Australia ? That's why. How do you think they keep their shipping prices so low ?

Chill out.

They probably have a huge backlog of calls/emails to get through from customers contacting them cos their order is 4 days late.

Add shipping delays of covud, and huge increase in online orders, with same amount of staff, and...you get this.

Yes, I do realise.

nevertheless a bare minimum of customer service is customer service.

If they don't want phone calls and queries perhaps enter the correct dates into their own customer information system, or spend 1 minute replying to one polite question, instead of ignoring it for a week.

Lol have u seen the price of DHL shipping at the moment?? You'd want gold plated triple platinum etc service to charge $90 to deliver a single air filter from jpn to aus ( i didnt proceed with the order). DHL's service has always been amazing but priced thru the roof at present.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
