hey all,

Does anyone have any idea on the status of CJP? I bought a car (50% deposit anyway) off them in Dec last year. Well i was overseas, so a good friend of mine did it for me. I have since them bought numerous other goodies that will get shipped with the car in August this year. However, i have heard some conflicting stories about them. Have i f*cked up? Any ideas/info on my situation? Can anyone relate? Thanks

Hope this helps...

Business closed start of the year. They left a note stating they would close and would reopen upon returning from hollidays(international students). They didnt return. Adding to this, there were alot of 'letter of demands' posted on the doors.

If you are genuine about your loss, let me know. I can put you onto the people who know a couple of them.

Best of luck.

Is this even a serious post? You mentioned u bought a 180sx in the beginning with a full payment of over $12,000. Now its a GTR. And even if it was a GTR as appose to a 180sx, you are taking it pretty relaxed for someone who will never see that sum of money again. And I assure you, they arent returning.

i heard that they all got sent back to china or wherever they came from because they are international students. as u might know u are not allowed to open a business if u are not a permanent resident of Aus. apparently they got sent back within 24hrs of them being found out. ive heard from many ppl that they are not replying to emails and havent returned any deposits either.

i think it would be hard getting to them...all the best to those whom are still waiting for their goods

Seriously why would you give people like this a depost?

Have you seen their website (www.cityjapparts.com), all the spelling mistakes throughout the site, oh btw the site has not been updated since 25/2/2004... they are well gone.

Oh one of my Supra's was owned by a friend of these guys, he sold it just before leaving to go back to China... this was in about October last year... he said he was not returning so yeah.

N/A: I never said it was a 180sx. It has always been a GTR. I have no idea where you got 180sx from. And as for full payment, i did mention 50% deposit and not full payment. Also, I am not that relaxed as it appears.

Drift Spec: I paid the deposit in December so that was before their final update.

u got pumped by these pricks you poor bastard, I spoke to a cop friend of mine, these dudes are long gone, they set up in oz take all the deposits and jet back OS, there is nothing you can do as international laws for this type of fraud dont exist.

good luck though, I hate scum like the ones that have done you over.

Hi,

I also once put a deposit on some parts from CJP and they really took there time to try and organise it they promised the R32 coilovers to me in 2 weeks after waiting about 2 months and several phone calls asking for my goods with no progress i went in there and demanded my money back which also took them a couple of weeks to organise but i ended up getting my money minus 10% for there so called trouble.

good luck i hope you either get your goods or your car and stock.

yeah been to their shop last year, very unfriendly, very bare workshop. Not professional. I wanted to get an Evo turbo from them, they showed me a pic of one and I ask them to confirm it is an Evo turbo, they said yes, then I said how come it has the part number of a Galant turbo instead? then they just insist it's the right one.

So dodgy. I never went back. Lucky I have found myself a genuine supplier and now I sell the cheapest Evo turbos around. :)

      Shifting questions

      Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.

      rb25 Degreeing cams with hydraulic lifters?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.

      Besides packing it, you can also fill your pump through the oil filter inlet port. After cranking for what felt like an eternity without pressure, i fed a tube in through there and filled it with oil. Cranked for a few seconds after that and had pressure.
