Nitto state that it is made from billet metal even it is made in China the engineering would be top notch.

JE pistons would piss me off with the piston slap while cold. bugger that.

my Tomei pistons are silent all of the time. Get a tome 2.8 kit

I think you would find that if Nitto has the Strokers made in China they would have a Quality control "Nitto company man" over seeing the quality and they would be of the same quality as if, Made in Japan.

The trouble having things built in Asia , is quality control , as they will try and make things cheaper if they can get away with it, If you want the quality to stay at 100% you need a man on the floor to oversee production.

I wouldn't think so. It would be more like they just inspect the parts when a shipment arrives and so they are good to sell. Would be the exact same process for everyone else too.

In saying that the quality of all the china made parts these days is exceptionally good. Its getting hard to fault it.

Michael , I dealt with Japanese and Taiwanese manufactures that had products and parts being made in China and they would have been much smaller companies than Nitto and 2 out of 6 of them had a bloke in China full time and the others did what I did and my business was small/tinny and I had a bloke there that would go to the different companies and check everything before being shipped, you maybe right, but ??

    • The jack pad placement always had me scratching my head. I only have a small section to work with on both the E90 and E70 (and insert new project car here ) and I could see lining it up to be a bit of a bugger. For me, the E90 is just too low and needs small ramps and then the front centre jack point is a bit tricky to line up (it's half way down the subframe and about the size of a tennis ball, its really hard to see unless your head is on the ground), so I definitely like the idea of not having to do a multi-stage jack and just sliding these bad boys in under the sides. There's only one small point at each corner, so I can't jack AND add a stand on the same corner. Or, maybe I can and I'm too nervous to try. 😟
    • Is this not the biggest deal of all? I was hoping the whole "will slide under cars with skirts etc and lift evenly quickly with minimal fuss" was the entire point of such a device? 
    • Here's Neil's car up on mine recently
    • Yeah I've got one of these, Quick Jack not Quick Lift, but your link looks like a good copy For me, it's better than no hoist, but it is definitely not as good as a hoist  It lifts the car about 60cm which is a nice working height compared to regular stands and it is only under the sills so it doesn't get in the way like regular chassis stands do.  No need to use regular stands, it has a safety lock on it. On the down side it is really heavy/unwieldy to drag into place, and you have to place it after the car is there (no option to drive the car to where the frames are. You need to try and line it up with the proper sill points which is hard as it swings up in an arc and there is surprisingly little adjustment in the distance between the rubber pads for different car lengths. Not a big deal, but in practice a jack + stands is probably quicker. Also there are hydraulic lines to each side and you need either a 240v or 12v source to power it depending on which option you have, I use 12v as I always seem to have a battery around.
    • Finally addressing my catch can and oil setup Plan is to do as much as practical without having to remove the motor or pull it apart. (no back of head to sump drain/breather or oil restrictors) First step is a set of full length baffle plates from Hypertune and a Tomei cam cap stud kit. I could probably have laser cut and bent up my own ones but this took any guess work out
