so I Put a few orders in for Amayama and they all show green "ordered from supplier" or "sent from supplier"

The earliest August one was listed as expected delivery 13th Sep by "Fastway Couriers" (it was listed as delivered to warehouse by 12th sep).

so naturally, I'd like to know the status..

- they do not reply to online messages despite the interface for logged in customers.

- they do not pick up the phone it just rings to voice mail or gets cut off

At this point wondering if I just turn up at  24 Norman St, Peakhurst, Sydney, with print out in hand, will they all run and hide behind the shipping supplies?

Yeah I've used Amayama a lot and found them to be good (nothing orders sometimes get cancelled after they check with Nissan). 

International deliveries are a disaster at the moment but Fast Track are local and if they have the package there should be a tracking number available.

Have you heard what's happening with global shipping lately?

yes, that I understand.( however, i get DHL from japan in days.)

what I do not understand is ghosting customers who ask after an order that their own system says they have, and should have been delivered 10 days ago

Dude I have stuff on the way at the moment too from them, same delays. They are usually 10/10, but the shipping at the moment from overseas just is what it is. "Sent by supplier" just means they are waiting for the stock themselves.

You do realise Amayama is not like RHDjapan or Nengun right ?, where they specifically obtain and ship your order independently from other orders. Amayama do bulk stock orders for multiple customers parts overseas, which all get shipped together, then they individually ship it once it's in Australia. Notice you only get tracking within Australia ? That's why. How do you think they keep their shipping prices so low ?

Chill out.

They probably have a huge backlog of calls/emails to get through from customers contacting them cos their order is 4 days late.

Add shipping delays of covud, and huge increase in online orders, with same amount of staff, and...you get this.

Yes, I do realise.

nevertheless a bare minimum of customer service is customer service.

If they don't want phone calls and queries perhaps enter the correct dates into their own customer information system, or spend 1 minute replying to one polite question, instead of ignoring it for a week.

I don't think you do, or else you wouldn't be bringing up DHL from Japan, which has nothing to do with your order with them.

Relax, you'll get your parts mate. ?

Lol have u seen the price of DHL shipping at the moment?? You'd want gold plated triple platinum etc service to charge $90 to deliver a single air filter from jpn to aus ( i didnt proceed with the order). DHL's service has always been amazing but priced thru the roof at present.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
