Everyone!! - WE ARE STILL HERE...

My name is Ken Harrison Owner of Enjuku Racing, Inc and ER Motorsports, LLC. For the past 9 years I have been in business selling parts and providing support for the Nissan Community. We are one of the oldest and longest standing 240sx shops in the country.

I have been hearing a lot of rumors on the internet that Enjuku Racing was going out of business or was our of business and wanted to Personally clear them all up.

Enjuku Racing, Inc (The parts company) is still going strong and moving forward to continue to provide great prices and the best possible customer service in the industry.

We actually just launched a new/updated website - http://www.enjukuracing.com

I believe these rumors have stemmed from the fact that ER Motorpsports, LLC. ( The Professional Race Team, FD and Nopi) is not going racing this year.

I ran ER Motorsports, LLC for the last 3 years campaigning our Pro Drift Team all across the country and employing almost 20 people between ER and Enjuku. While drifting is fun and was a good marketing tool, it didn’t warrant the costs. Unfortunately this season the program cost more than what the sponsors were able to bring. And after 3 years, a Nopi Championship, an Unser driving for me, and a TON OF MONEY.... I decided to cut the race program and stop racing.

I believe over the last 3 years a lot of you have come to think of us as a race team, not a performance parts supplier, and when the word got around that we were not racing, the assumptions started flying about Enjuku Racing.

There is no mystery here.. Racing is Fun and Expensive. This is the reason we are no longer racing.

Enjuku Racing (The parts company) is still here. I want to personally thank all of those who have supported us over the years, both on the parts side and racing..... We couldn’t have done it with out you.

I do believe that over the past few years our service has slipped some, due to the extreme focus on Racing and Shop work. Because of this I have decided to also stop Shop work for the time being. Our staff has obviously been cut dramatically because we are not traveling the country and working on cars. I want to get our parts customer service back on track.

It is now time to get back to what we do... SELL PARTS!!!!

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer them all.

As for now... check out the new site and let me know if you have any suggestions. Be sure to sign up for our news letter. (register as a user on our new site) We send out some great specials pretty often - http://enjukuracing.com/april08.html

Well-said.

Ken and Enjuku have been faithful supporters of NICO since we were a small forum, just struggling to make our place on the 'net.

If you're familiar with Enjuku and their history, pop in and check out their redesigned site.

If you're a n00b, and have never heard of them, you owe it to yourself to go see what they're all about.

Plainly stated, we wouldn't be here as a forum if it wasn't for their support.

Ken, thanks for believing in us and thanks for all you do for the Nissan motorsports enthusiast.

Yeah, I hadn't heard any rumors and actually was d!ck around on your site yesterday. I was unaware anything had changed!

That being said, you guys need to sell more CA18 stuff. I'm always disappointed when I click on that section of the site and see 11 things, 9 of which are SPEC clutches, which I don't trust for a second. So what if they're based in Alabama. You guys should stock some basic maintenance parts, so I can just tell noobs from the CA forum to go to you and not have to find them part numbers and stuff.

Both the old site and new site are up at this point because there are so many links floating around the internet to the old one.

as for mor CA parts, I agree. There just isnt a ton of support in the US and getting hands on parts isnt all that easy. But we will try!! Thanks.

As for that post. The plan was for Robby Unser to take over the racing program... however that has changed and it is in the hands of some other folks at this point. I dont have anything to do with the Racing at this time.

Thanks

Ken

It is actually quite easy to get them, but it would be way easier if I could just do it from your site.

Bill Sherman is driving the 350z vert we built for SEMA. He is with Blake Fuller. They are running a program of their own.

So Ken, Is the Retail store set up yet? I'm the type that loves to go into a shop and buy off impulse and then fret about the money later. It's easier to do it when the parts are right in front of your face.

I bought many parts from Kenjuku (as I call it). I've known many of the guys that have come and gone that worked there. I even tried to bail them out of a mechanical issue when they came to Houston.

Glad Ken, and Enjuku are still around. Now he just needs to get into the Euro sector so I can set fire to my bank account.

There's not much more to add that hasn't been said already, but Ken, we're glad you're still around. I hadn't heard any of the rumors either, but regardless I am glad they aren't true.

For those of you who have never dealt with Enjuku, they are top notch when it comes to Nissan Performance Parts. Very few companies can maintain the loyalty that Enjuku's customers have. Enjuku is probably the most respected company when it comes to 240 parts.

No, Our new warehouse has not been zoned for Retail Traffic by the city. I am not sure when or if it will ever happen. For now, it is helping us focus on customer service through the website.

Please let me know if anyone ever needs anything.

thanks

Ken
