Hey Guys,

Does anybody know if Kristian still runs japaneseimportparts.com ? The slimy scumbag owes a heap of money for banner rotations, on the site it lists a 'Lew' as the manager - has he sold it?

Thanks Guys

oh I should ad though, that from what I understand of the deal Lew didn't buy Kristians liabilities so  Kristian still owes you the money.

If he bought the company he bought the liabilities. If he bought a trading name only :P

yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not a company. just a business. :D:)

Apparently the poor guy that bought it is being harrassed non-stop by people who want their parts/money.

Name one person that has been shafted/ripped off, that have paid money, and not recieved goods ? There are currently 3 or 4 customers that are waiting on deliveries, and a couple of people waiting on refunds, but they are by no means shafted or ripped off.

It appears that most people just assume things, and have no proof to back it up.

BLITZ, name someone that has been shafted ? All people Kristian sold things to either recieve their goods, or a refund. I heard about a guy that bought rims off him, and complained here on SAU that he had been shafted. But what do you know, the $4,000 rims turned up at his house, along with an apology from Japan stating that they were very sorry his custom made rims took so long.

Carlo, he did not dissapear very quick, he sold the business, just because it took a while to get a reciept, how does that mean he dissapeared ? Just because he doesnt advertise on the forum anymore dosnt mean he dissapeared. You got your reciept, yes, you said it took a while, but you recieved it. What is the problem ?

KamikazeR33, Name someone on ALSC that has been shafted ? There is 2 or 3 people that have goods in transit from Japan at the moment, no one has been shafted.

Prank, all you had to do was remind Kristian that he needed to bring the payments up to date for the advertising. I know the sale of the business took alot of time and energy, and he has been very busy helping Lew take over. I also believe email is not the best way to contact him, as he doenst spend as much time on the computer anymore since he sold his .com business

Why dont you just give him a call, and ask him if he can make the payment, as it seems he has forgotten.

It just amazes me that people live their life on a computer, and assume it is the only form of contact. Pick up your phone, give the guy a call instead of hiding behind your computer being a keyboard warrier. I am pretty sure that all you have to do is call him, and and he will be more than happy to make the payment. Sometimes when you are busy a phone call to remind you can just sort everything out.

Prank, after you have called him, let us all know how you go here in this thread as I'm sure we are all interested to find out if he simply forgot, or if he never intends to pay.

I believe his number is 0403218108.

Hey Nissan Owner,

heh, its always funny how people are quick to jump to conclusions and calling people 'keyboard warriors'.

Here is the situation - I did not know that kristian had sold the business until a few days ago. Until this time, I was emailing the address that I had on file (his japimportparts address) and was receiving no response, I emailed over 10 times and have offered to forward al the emails to Kristian since he replied to my last email (sent to his swiftdsl address) this morning.

Also - i have no need to justify myself to you. There was a misunderstanding and I am in discussions with Kristian now to resolve this problem.

Thizzle.... Who are you talking about ? No one gets sold dodgy parts, if there are any problems, and the customer lets me know, they get the problem fixed immediatly, exactly as croat stated in the post above this. Simply stating a part does not work is one thing, but asking for a replacement is what normal people usually do, and the problem will be solved.

Yes Prank, I have a new email address, thats obviously why you were not getting a response from the old one as it went with the business. Payment will be made this week. I'm happy we have cleared this up.

Kristian

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
