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.

I don't think you do, or else you wouldn't be bringing up DHL from Japan, which has nothing to do with your order with them.

Relax, you'll get your parts mate. ?

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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
