Is there something up with Kudos Motorsports right now? I've ordered from them in the past and they used to respond to emails super fast but I've sent them five emails over the past 3 weeks and got a reply to just one. I know they probably closed for the holidays but even before then I wasn't getting replies. I would have assumed they would be open again come this past Monday but still no replies. I'm in the US so I can't just pick up the phone and call.

Over a month ago I placed an order for about US$1500 in parts and they said they'd get back to me on the status two weeks ago but that was the last I heard from them. I still need to order some wheel bearings and other stuff but don't want to do so if I can't even get in touch with them about my existing order. I know their website was on the fritz for a while but not it seems fine so I'm wondering what gives now. I had thought highly enough about Kudos that I recommended them as a parts source for US owners on my blog. I hope I don't have to retract that recommendation and they get back to me soon.

So has anyone been in touch lately with Kudos?

They do come through, I had an issue at the end of last month where I was e-mailing Andrew about an order (this is while the webiste was having difficulties) and part of my order was on wait for parts from Japan.

I forgot about it, and then followed up two weeks later with e-mails, calls and messages on facebook, I never got a response but the products came through about two days after attempting contact on fb.

I then placed an order just last week through the website and had the product arrive the next day.

I hope it works out for you.

Thanks for all the reassuring responses guys. To update on my situation, I never did get a response to my emails from Kudos but on the good side I did end up receiving my earlier order from them a few days ago. Because of that I went ahead and placed an order on their website for a couple of other parts I need but some other stuff that they could probably have sourced but aren't listed on their website I'm going to have to get elsewhere since I can't get through to them. Hopefully that situation improves soon because they used to respond so fast to emails.

I can't recommend Kudos highly enough. I've ordered heaps of stuff through them over the last few months. Really well priced and fast postage. Andrew even personally delivered some engine mounts to the workshop, on a Saturday arvo, 3 hours after I ordered them.

      Good points thanks. Unfortunately I can't seem to rename this or delete the topic. Seems like I'll ask the moderators to change it or delete it.

      You might want to update the thread title.  V37 ≠ V36.  And it probably isn't a G37 unless it is 2012+ Ininiti or LHD.

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      Just a basic run down of the relevant bolt-ons. All e85 First graph 406.9whp is HKS GT-RS, HPI manifold, 3" bell mouth dump / 3" straight through fake cat / 3" all the way to the rear and no resonators, nismo 740cc, walbro 460, oem RB26 itb's, power fc, eboost2, Greddy Spec M fmic, poncams, Turbosmart actuator, splitfires, ARD 150amp alternator. Blue line is same as above but Blitz Dual SBC (before i upgraded to eboost2) and 100cell "high flow" cat. Red line is after installing eboost2 and the fake 3" cat (it's just a 3" pipe with a cat shell welded onto it). Huge gains in response, as can be seen. Black dots are a mates sr20 with almost identical setup but uses a garrett 2871 instead oh HKS. Next grapghn 466.6whp is same as above, but HKS 2835 Pro S with the larger .87ar turbine housing, the special HKS Pro S dump pipe into a HPI split dual 2.5" front pipe and the rest stayed as is. Red line is after I welded the actuator brackets. (It was originally bolted together and was moving a couple millimetres under load). Green line is obviously before I welded the bracket, no other changes. 100whp gain at 3750rpm, massive gain for such a simple fix. Third graph is my current setup, huge changes. 469.7whp R31house twin scroll manifold, twin TiAl 38mm gates, Forced Performance (USA) HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll rear housing, Link Fury+ and loom by 12volt, PRP trigger kit and r35 coil kit with r35 splitfire coils, HKS step 1 vct staggered cams, new oem lifters and performance springs, 49mm itb's w/port matched Nismo plenum, twin walbro 460 surge tank setup + 1650cc injectors, HKS Type R S13 600x300x103mm fmic, individual egt's, 4" turbo back with no resonators or cat and AES true straight through muffler + 4" butterfly off the dump pipe lower 90° bend. It's a preliminary tune with no boost control with using 20psi gate springs and 4" butterfly closed. Once body loom and PDM is compete, will go for 30psi tune.

      Power light apparently functions as a transmission error light, you can try the power sequence to read any codes from the transmission control unit.
