Just wanna know which one is better?

I'm worried if things like no reply after you pay the money, or refund problem.

My opinion will probably seem biased, but oh well.

Be careful of ordering online, especially internationally. With Australian companies its not so bad, because the government has plenty of rules and regulations to filter out the baddies.

I personally recommend getting their ABN/ACN, and their fixed line number [eg. (07) 3333 6666]. Make sure you talk to them on that number. If they were to do a runner, you can report their ABN/ACN or fixed line number to the police, and it'd be easier for them to track the business down. If they can not track them down, with the information you provided them, they should be able to return your money by seizing their assets.

Ask the online business if you can go over and pick it up from them also. If they panic, its a bad sign. Most online business's run from a garage/home office (like mine) and they'd be more than happy for you to rock up. They just don't have a big sign saying their name, as their not openly open to the public or operate fulltime.

Just my bit of advice.

I hope it helps. ;)

I recently purchased a power fc from nengun.

They kept me up to date with my order and replied to my emails.

Many other people from this forum have purchased parts through nengun and are very happy with the prices and service

Just be carefull when importing into the country that customs dont overcharge you for any taxes or duties.

If you ask the supplier about this they should be able to tell you if the part is exempt or not.

None of those are really shops, as they are just 3 guys with computers that take orders and then order those parts from the supplier in japan. None of them have parts in stock ready to ship out, so if they get screwed around by the supplier then so will you.

I have bought heapes of parts from nengun and greenline over the last few years, and they both have their good and bad points, but all the parts i ordered i recieved, sometimes late but you cant complain 2 much as they are at such good prices.

thanks for everyone's advice. The thing I worry about is if I can receive the product or not. I know it will take a long time, because of this and that kind of reasons. But as INASNT said the price are cheap. You can't complain 2 much. I gonna order something very soon. I will keep on post in here and let everyone know. THx again!!!

Nengun is good for me.

As for customs, if you get pulled up by them. Be creative.

If you order a pfc and they pull you up, u dont not pay duty on this. They can consider it as an automatic controlling apparatus or something. If you get a intercooler they will try to slap duty on it. What i did was claim it as a truck air charge cooler and only paid 5% duty compared to 15%. Also make sure u have an invoice of <$1000 so u dont pay the stupid $48 manual entry fee.

wont use any of them sites as no amount of $$ is worth the pain of not knowing when and if your parts are goin to arrive...but on the other hand my mate just got the same turbo as me from nengun 1300$ cheaper than what i payed...

Aya,

Nengun have been advertising on this site for a while now and I have had many dealings with Brent (the owner, who is also a member on this site). You cannot go wrong when ordering from him. He is the only guy I will ever buy from online.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
