Since I have seen a lot of problem with buy part from online shop.

Just wanna know which one is better?

I'm worried if things like no reply after you pay the money, or refund problem.

My opinion will probably seem biased, but oh well.

Be careful of ordering online, especially internationally. With Australian companies its not so bad, because the government has plenty of rules and regulations to filter out the baddies.

I personally recommend getting their ABN/ACN, and their fixed line number [eg. (07) 3333 6666]. Make sure you talk to them on that number. If they were to do a runner, you can report their ABN/ACN or fixed line number to the police, and it'd be easier for them to track the business down. If they can not track them down, with the information you provided them, they should be able to return your money by seizing their assets.

Ask the online business if you can go over and pick it up from them also. If they panic, its a bad sign. Most online business's run from a garage/home office (like mine) and they'd be more than happy for you to rock up. They just don't have a big sign saying their name, as their not openly open to the public or operate fulltime.

Just my bit of advice.

I hope it helps. ;)

I recently purchased a power fc from nengun.

They kept me up to date with my order and replied to my emails.

Many other people from this forum have purchased parts through nengun and are very happy with the prices and service

Just be carefull when importing into the country that customs dont overcharge you for any taxes or duties.

If you ask the supplier about this they should be able to tell you if the part is exempt or not.

None of those are really shops, as they are just 3 guys with computers that take orders and then order those parts from the supplier in japan. None of them have parts in stock ready to ship out, so if they get screwed around by the supplier then so will you.

I have bought heapes of parts from nengun and greenline over the last few years, and they both have their good and bad points, but all the parts i ordered i recieved, sometimes late but you cant complain 2 much as they are at such good prices.

thanks for everyone's advice. The thing I worry about is if I can receive the product or not. I know it will take a long time, because of this and that kind of reasons. But as INASNT said the price are cheap. You can't complain 2 much. I gonna order something very soon. I will keep on post in here and let everyone know. THx again!!!

Nengun is good for me.

As for customs, if you get pulled up by them. Be creative.

If you order a pfc and they pull you up, u dont not pay duty on this. They can consider it as an automatic controlling apparatus or something. If you get a intercooler they will try to slap duty on it. What i did was claim it as a truck air charge cooler and only paid 5% duty compared to 15%. Also make sure u have an invoice of <$1000 so u dont pay the stupid $48 manual entry fee.

wont use any of them sites as no amount of $$ is worth the pain of not knowing when and if your parts are goin to arrive...but on the other hand my mate just got the same turbo as me from nengun 1300$ cheaper than what i payed...

Aya,

Nengun have been advertising on this site for a while now and I have had many dealings with Brent (the owner, who is also a member on this site). You cannot go wrong when ordering from him. He is the only guy I will ever buy from online.

Thanks Prank. I will order from them and write a feed back in this form after I receive the suspension kits. Thx again.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
