RRR32_Godzilla, what brand short shift kit was it? nismo? i know the nismo shifter is a longer throw than the C'z one. and i can't imagine c'z (or any performance maker) making a shifter that is exactly the same as stock

obviously they wouldn't make one the same as stock, obviously they sent me the wrong one

sounds a bit funny to me, i can't imagine them replacing it with a stock one, what brand was it suppose to be?

supposed to be nismo.

i also have a c's shifter in my gtst which is good.

the length of throw on the gtr is the same as standard and the part looks identical to standard. It in no way could be considered a short shifter.

i also got a mates stock gtr shifter to rule out the possibility that it already had a nismo short shifter installled when i bought the car and the standard throw on gtrs just happened to be the same as a mack truck and the nismo shifter made it closer to normal.

Hello to all

First of all I am very sorry for the delays. I did something that I haven`t done in a long time and that was to take some time of over xmas. Before I left to go on holidays I had some Japanese crew take over for me. All was fine until parts started getting sent to anyway but the intended addresses. Consequently I had all the orders stopped until my return. As I am in Japan now all orders will be sent off in the next few days.

All I can say is I do sincerely apologize for the delays and please dont worry about funds going astray or anything like that.

Best regards

Brent

Thanks for the update Brent. Perhaps an update on your website and a mass email to customers with the issues to keep everyone informed. People assume the worst when they hear nothing. Communication makes them feel warm and fuzzy.

I'm waiting on my part still. Reading this post has made me feel a bit more at ease.

ditto. exactly what ferni said. people instantly lose trust with internet sellers when emails etc aren't replied, and threads like these are the result, not good for your business at all, and at the end of the day a bit of a mis understanding, unfortunately may have cost you a few customers.

I don't believe this was just an isolated incident due to Brent being away at Christmas. I had similar problems as you guys last august, parts not arriving, then no contact from Brent, and no response to e-mails. Eventually was informed that items had been sent to the wrong address! E-mailing Nengun seems to be a waist of time as I never got a reply from Brent until I filed a complaint with PayPal.

Brent then cancelled my acount so that I couldn't order anything from him again, although that was a waist of his time because I would never use Nengun again anyway.

Yeah too be honest where theres smoke they'res fire - i wont be using nengun when there are alternatives, specially after reading this tread and others of late. Thats unless i see some turn around with people posting that all the above problems got sorted and some sort of offical apology was issued. Even then i would be sceptical

Your customers should always, ALWAYS be able to receive a prompt response, especially when it's regarding orders already paid for. Any different is simply poor business.

Pffffft...

I ordered an item very early December. Early Jan I decided to cancel the order as i was selling the car so i emailed at least 3 times informing them that i wanted to cancel my order (During these couple weeks, my order stayed "Processing"). I then recieved an email telling me that my order has been cancelled and i should expect to see a refund shortly. I was then satisfied and happy that this went sorta smoothly.

Guess what? I GOT THE ORDER I CANCELLED AND NO REFUND!

That's well over a grand WASTED. Are they going to do anything about it? NOPE.

Not happy. Never Again.

just outa curiousity how did you pay for the parts nipples? and did you leave bank details for refund to be deposited into

direct deposit....

got an email saying "Apologies for the mixup. The refund has been processed, can you please confirm that it has been received."

this is after my 3rd email about a refund.

i then waited, til i got an "Order Complete" email. that's when i started worrying again.

checked the email and the item was already at my local post office in the tracking!

      I'll just leave this quick tip here after reading your joys of getting the car in the air. It should take no more then 10 minutes to get the car safely up on stands.  So for the front, jack on the tow recovery points (marked in red). Put the jack stands under the lower control arm mounting point (marked in yellow). This photo is of a R34 GTR, however the process is the same. For the rear, jack under the diff (marked in red). Put the jack stands under the rear subframe or where the lower control arm mounting point (marked in yellow). Which point you use will depend on your stand, pick a nice stable point.  You've probably already read this but it's worth repeating. When jacking up the car or using stands, stay away from the chassis rails/pinch welds. Even the factory jack point, stay away from that too unless using a factory jack. I used those jack points for years without issue until I turned into an old man and bought a QuickJack lol.

      And this is where the leak is happening: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7h1vlmg2j5aa7rksvsjc9/IMG_9982.jpeg?rlkey=d3bnpau5f615zmxqmca0llvr7&st=kquvdxvs&dl=0   Apologies but it seems adding an image from a link does not work when the images are in Dropbox.

      Hi all, From the western suburbs here. Just got my 2000 R34 GTT registered today! Got it imported from Japan through a mate who is doing them and managed to find a decent one. This one has only done 110,000 Km and had no body rust etc. so was very happy. I used to own a 25Gt back in 2015 (ate Ramen noodles for years to save up for it), but unfortunately, it got stolen TEN DAYS after I bought it!! Came back from Uni and the car was missing - cops found it in Springvale a month later with a lot of needles  😒 It was too late by then and I had moved on to a different car (300ZX), and after that one got broken into around 2018, I was in a very bad place and decided I would never buy a car again because it was just pointless!!! ~yeah, I have some very bad mojo~ 🥺 But now, with a stable job and a secure garage, I thought I'd get the R34 4D again but not as a daily! I love the R34s but a GTR is still a bit off my pay grade so settled for the GTT instead.    The first step for me is to get this car serviced and have all fluids, belts and spark plugs changed. I might do the brakes at one point too but atm they are fine, the fluids are what I want changed since this car probably sat in a garage for a long time. I'll then get some coilovers since the suspension needs to be changed anyway (the dust cover kit is disintegrating). I'll also upgrade my car alarm to a Viper system and then look at rims and tyres (I'm a sucker for TE37s - might have enough saved in another 3 years for that).   Today: I was planning to do the oil, coolant, air filter and fuel filter change this week. Started on the oil change today and MY GOD what a pain!! I used to think the 300ZX engine bay was cramped - oh I was so wrong! 😂 I've done the usual services on my cars before so it was not like I was going in blind. I looked up all the forum details about what oils to use, what coolant to use, what points to use to jack the car or place stands etc but I did not expect it to be this hard. Long story short - all I managed to do was the oil and filter change. I think I might end up taking it to a mechanic for a coolant change because my SCA stands and trolley jack just can't get far enough underneath to the cross-member and I don't want to be crushed under my favourite car....yet. Side note: In Dandenong, there used to be a shop that lets you hire their hoists - does anyone know if they have those around? I can't seem to find the Dandenong place anymore. I contacted them off FB almost 6 years ago and I'm not in it now. If anyone know of one, that would save me some time going to a mechanic for the basic services. Oil: Dark and gooey but no metal pieces. Oil Filter: Was a b***h to take off but no red flags Air filter: Yucky! Was black (Smells like fuel which makes me think it may have been running rich? - am I way off?)   Concerns: I have but one concern atm and that is that there was a very small amount of oil leaking where the engine and the transmission connect (Automatic). It may be the rear seal? It's not a massive leak and it does not affect the oil pressures or leak oil all along the driveway. It's been falling into the cover this whole time. I've taken the cover off so I can check the garage floor from time to time.  I also have not seen my engine temperature gauge ever sit at cold and slowly move up to the right spot, but that might be because every time I saw the car today, it was running. I'll check that again tomorrow. ATM it just sits right in the middle. I may just be paranoid but I don't want an overheating engine while my gauges say everything is fine. 🙈 Other than that, I'm very happy with the car! Feels like it's about time I went back to spending my weekends driving or cutting my arm on stupid sh*t in the engine bay.   PS: I will post a pic later on because I underestimated soooo badly today and it was dark by the time I finished! PPS: I broke the two damn plastic pins that hold the intake funnel section to the front bar. This is the piece made to bring cold air to the airbox. The connection to the airbox is fone, but the two clips just broke off! Should I be worried? Anyone else done that?
