  10. Door Weather Stripping

    in Parts for sale

    Posted

    More than likely the suppliers here have non left in stock. Ordering from Japan is also a crap shoot, but I've never had issues ordering from Nengun or Amayama. If you do place an order from one of them, make sure to put every part you want in the same order. They will not bill you until they locate the part(s) are available. Shipping will take a while going thru customs so expect a little bit of a wait.

    Don't bother.

    I paid them.

    They claim about a week for delivery.

    They said first for a few months my kit (rotors, bracket, etc) was ready except for calipers waiting on Wilwood.

    Then they called to say calipers came in and they were sending my rotors off to be machined.  

    Called a month later and they told me that everything was ready except they were waiting on my calipers to arrive.

    Then when I mentioned they told me they had the rotors machined already and had to do it a second time I was wary.  Then when they told me they had my calipers and don't anymore I was suspicious.  

    For the next month they stopped returning emails and calls.

    I reached out to one of the owners on LinkedIn, no response.

    I filed a paypal dispute.  They never responded after 15 days and I was refunded.

     

    Btw, they also knew i was expecting to order their unadvertised rear brake kit which was more than 2x as much as the front.

    That's disappointing to hear. Why would the rotors even need to be machined if they're brand new?

    Great for us who own these cars.  But that buyer must not have cared. They could have found just as nice an example for around $20k-$25k....But of course, they paid the premium to buy it from a premium auction...

    Most likely the buyer has a collection of several vehicles they buy and sell often. It's probably just an investment to them.

    My car came with a silicone hose on the PCV and it was turning to mush. The stuff is good for coolant, and vac/boost as long as it isn't too oily, but as you're probably already aware, oil or oily air like PCV will degrade it badly over time. I wasn't able to find a new OEM PCV hose domestically, so I had to order it from Amayama. Maybe something that would be good for Dad to start stocking.
