hey guys, quick question...

Just about to order from Rocket and heard a horror story...(I won't go into it on here) and now I'm thinking twice... maybe just a fanciful story but it sounded really bad...

If anyone has any positive feedback on these guys please post it here...

any negative comments please pm me...

Thanks in advance

Nick

They are the national distributor for a massive amount of brands and parts. I would place money on every "performance" workshop dealing with them at least once in their lifetime, alot of places get over 60% of their parts from Rocket.

As with any large company, of course they are going to have bad stories. Anyone ever heard that KFC chicken story about a chicken cyst?

thanks guys...

anyone else?

The thing that is worrying me is that I got a quote via email, took note of the part numbers etc, gave the details to my engine builder and he rang to place the order... But the price they quoted him was a few hundred dollars more expensive...wtf (and he would be getting wholesale prices?)

Am I just being paranoid?

thanks guys...

you would think things like this would be simple but it gets confusing when everyone who walks into the garage has to give their 2 cents...I tell my mechanic something and then he rings me back 2 hours later and says "oh dunno about those guys, or this or that" I'm like WTF...Why did you ask me to source the parts then if your not going to fu*#in listen to me... they know a lot about engines but f#@k all about doing business *end rant*

I really envy those of you who have the time and expertise to work on your cars yourself

thanks guys...

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
