Hey guys I'm the noob on this forum but a long time member on the UK site GTROC :-).

So you've guessed it, I'm from the UK!!

The reason why I'm on here is simple really....I need help :-/

Can anybody tell me if Direct Tuning in south California are still trading? I've sent emails and left answer phone messages but no reply?

You see I've been after this part in the link below for a very long time...

http://www.directtuning.com/store/showp ... r-diffuser

I seem to have located it but like I said no reply!!

I was wondering if somebody would be kind eneough to contact Direct Tuning to see if they have this part in stock?

From one fellow Nissan enthusiast to another....I'd be greatly thankful if some one could help me out.

Many thanks

Sam :-)

Hey, Sam,

Welcome to NICO. I tried checking on your link, but for some reason it doesn't work for me. Can you double check the link to make sure?

I don't live in the U.S., so I won't be able to help you. Hopefully, someone else here who does live in the U.S. can.

Again, welcome to NICO.

ok...weird...for some reason now the link works.

I'd be a little suspicious of that place at the moment. There is no phone number to call them that I could find.

Also, $2000 for an aluminium rear diffuser? Seems a little steep to me. But, then again, I really have no idea.

$2000 yeah I know a little steep but it's an ARC diffuser and I've always wanted one but like I said just really struggled to find one!!

Cheers mate

Tell ya what I am gonna do.

I call the U.S. regularly as I am an American living over here in Japan, so I will give them a buzz tomorrow my AM.

But, I am also going to delete your other thread as it's basically the same thing as this one. No use having two threads about he same topic.

Cheers Neal, appreciate your help :-)

Just thought I'd change the title and content of the other thread I had put up as I hadn't even had many views let alone posts?!

But no worries, just hope you can get some info? The link I pasted on my last post should have their correct telephone number, I called'em but only managed to leave a answer phone message :-(

Thanks again buddy

I just tried to call them, followed the steps to get to sales and was instantly directed to voice mail. I have a couple other ideas I can try, so just give me some time and I'll see what I can do.

Don't waste any more of your time.

http://www.directtuning.com/store/t-storelocator.aspx

No actual address?

Google it, and it comes up as

http://local.yahoo.com/info-46396814-di ... terey-park


201 W Garvey Ave, #102-128, Monterey Park, CA 91754

Which is a UPS store, aka a mailbox. AKA no real location.

I see posts and information from around 2007, but nothing in a while. No address on the site. "No shop pickup". Addresses leading back to a UPS store.

Its all fishy stuff.

However, some people don't want to take all the hints, and chose to try and give the scammers/fronts/internet nothings their money. If that's you, then go ahead. I'll be here to say " I told you so".
