Hello Nico!

[FCPImport]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Mike Rivera and I am an ASE certified technician and Sales Manager at FCP Groton, but most of all I am a fellow Nissan driver and enthusiast (95 240sx). I would also like to introduce another enthusiast (Infiniti G35) and customer service representative, Ellison Clark (Ellison@fcpimport). As of May 1st we are proud to say we are an official sponsor of NICO club. I want to first thank the moderators of NICO and the community itself for its warm welcome. Ellison and I have been around the community for a while which is now why we wanted to become the representatives for our company.

FCP Groton was established in 1986 as a family owned brick and mortar; some of you may already know us for our heavy European following in the Volvo and BMW communities. What you may not have known is that we also have extensive coverage for Asian vehicles too; we have just never had a website dedicated to these makes….that is until now.

We’ve been developing our Import site for nearly the past year and that is why the management of FCP requested I pick one specific community to present our site to before its official launch to the public. I figured what better place then NICO seeing that it has always been a reliable source for Ellison and me over the years.

So here it is: http://fcpimport.com. The site is still very early in its development stages so there are many changes to come and product lines to be added. We thought this would be an ideal time to present to the NICO community in hopes to solicit you guys for any positive and negative feedback. The sooner we start getting feedback from the community the easier it will be to make the necessary changes to site.

You will see some popular brands on the site already with many more to come: GMB Water Pumps and Tensioners, KYB Shocks and Struts, Royalty Drilled & Slotted Discs, Akebono ACT Ceramic Pads, Bando Drivebelts, Beck Arnley, Bosch Plugs, Flennor Timing Belts, Bosal Exhaust. You will also notice a low cost quality aftermarket line of steering, suspension, and filters that is also guaranteed for life. Feel free to let us know any other suggestions or comments you may have. We look forward to establishing a long lasting relationship within the NICO community and once again thank you for the warm welcome!

Welcome Mike! 1995 240sx is a good year

Glad to have you aboard!

[nissangirl74]

Welcome aboard!

[Pwnin O'Brien]

Welcome!

I really like your site design, very clean and well organized. The high res product photos are sweet!

[hatedinthemind]

welcome to the club

site looks good

[FCPImport]

Appreciate it guys! We tried to keep the interface is clean and simple, with important functions placed where they are most likely to be seen. We took into account where users are most likely to look on a website and where their cursors are most likely to go, resulting in a highly-efficient design that's completely intuitive to use. The Front-end delivery is fully optimized for server-side asset compression. What this means is that every action performed on the site is done as efficiently as possible, saving bandwidth and decreasing load times for you guys.

Still tons of work to be done and we only have a portion of our entire inventory currently on the site. If there are specific product lines you would like to see, or we are thin in particular areas just shoot me a PM or use the FEEDBACK tool located on the site. It will go straight to the developers.

[FCPImport]

I see I missed #13 I heard it was one hell of a site!

i'd be going up from new haven if i go. but i live maybe 15 minutes more north from there.

Just an update working on adding some OEM Nissan tune up components like oil filters and plugs. Also just put up the line up for KYB struts, shocks, and mounting hardware on the 240's working on photos and the same for Infiniti. So Thank you guys for the input and I will do what I can to accommodate.

[tiger-SE-R]

you folks got hood struts or hood dampers for a 06 Altima SE-R?

[numbnuts240]

it starts with hood struts and dampers, next thing you know he's rocking dubs. you can take the man out the hood, but you can't take the hood out the man...

[tiger-SE-R]

[numbnuts240]

[tiger-SE-R]

[LongBeachCoupe]

Welcome to the Club!
Make sure you let me know of any altima offerings you have so I can make the members aware!

[Ar878]

welcome to NICO, FCP!

[FCPImport]

Wouldn't have the aftermarket ones, OEM units this car would not carry just a stay. But there are a bunch out there trying to see if I have a source for those in particular I will let you know.
