I can eventually get the hook up. My sister lives in Okinawa. She is going through a period of "hardship" to put it simply. Her fiance doesnt know too much about cars though. Once she is settled back in, she will be a reliable source. She drives a Skyline too, so we should be good. I wont be able to get in contact with her until later next month and I hope to my RB20 in a week or two.

WHERE DID YOU ORDER YOURS FROM?

[spec-v5150]

Venus Auto

And before some guy comes and flames me for buying from them....

As long as they offer a start up warranty and replace damged things (like they do), I will take my chances and save some money. It is a mixed bag with them, but that 1G saved can go elsewhere.

[PROJECTRB240SX]

GOOD CHOICE, DID YOU BUY THE MOTOR SET OR A CLIP?WHEN DID YOU MAKE YOUR PURCAHSE?

[spec-v5150]

Yeah I got the clip

I overnighted the cashiers check and it is supposedly guaranteed to be there tomorrow at 1200. So I am hoping they ship it out next week at latest. I will bug them to no end. I dont care....LOL

[op.tic]

how much was your shipping?i keep emailing them but they never responedand man you gotta hook me up too when i get an rb20

[PROJECTRB240SX]

HEY YOU WANNA KNOW SOMETHING? I THINK YOU JUST GOT SCREWED. I BOUGHT THE LAST CLIP YESTERDAY.

[PROJECTRB240SX]

SHIPPING IS $366 FOR ME

[spec-v5150]

shipping was 636 bucks

residential feelift gate fee

they havent been too responsive on email. I emailed then to order and got no reply. Call them. The female who answers their phones is cool as ****.

Sure My sis is pretty good about getting me stuff....except engines..LOL. If she flakes out (unlikely) I have a friend in Misawa too. I dont like asking him for stuff, but I will if needed (last resort)

[spec-v5150]

SHUT THE **** UP:(

[PROJECTRB240SX]

YEAH VICKI IS COOL AND ULTRA HELPFUL. SHE LIED TO THE SHIPPING COMPANY AND GOT ME A $150 DISCOUNT.

[spec-v5150]

what time did you call. I told them to conider that **** sold and put my name on it. The earliest i could get the check out was today and they didnt take credit cards at this time. I will be PISSED if I have to wait

She was like dont worry, we got a shipment in so there should be more than one

[PROJECTRB240SX]

NO I AM BEING SERIOUS WELL THATS WHAT VICKI TOLD ME. WELL MAYBE THEY GOT MORE BUT YESTERDAY AT 1:30PM PST I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS GETTING THE LAST CLIP. THEY GOT MY PAYMENT AT 10:30 AM

[PROJECTRB240SX]

SORRY DUDE! THEY GET THE CLIPS IN ALL THE TIME THOUGH THEY SAID THEY HAD A FEW MORE ON ORDER CAUSE I WANTED 2 MORE.

[spec-v5150]

[PROJECTRB240SX]

[spec-v5150]

because I called and they said they had some. I called them at 1130 or 1200 calitime. Damn gotta make ANOTHER long distance phone call

[PROJECTRB240SX]

THAT SUCKS, SORRY! I NOTICED THEY HAVEN'T STOPPED ADVERTISING MY CLIP THAT I BOUGHT SO THEY MAY HAVE MORE.

[spec-v5150]

:ylsuper

I just got of the phone. They have 3 clips...but none for sale. They soild one, then they have yours and mine. So they have 3, but they are all reserved. I instantly got a massive headache. I could have picked up my daughter from daycare but I had to come STRAIGHT home to inquire about my engine. Besides she can stay until 5. Ahhhhhh relief. damn you scared me

[PROJECTRB240SX]

SORRY, JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU TO HAVE TO WAIT FOREVER AND NOT KNOW WHY.

[PROJECTRB240SX]

WHATS THE SHOIP TIME THEY QUOTED YOU?

[PROJECTRB240SX]

THEY SAID THURS. NEXT WEEK FOR ME AT THE LATEST.

[spec-v5150]

they didnt quote me

[Bryson]

shipping from sacremento to my business address in the central valley (less than 300 miles) was $350.00 through them for a CA18DET motor set. I don't know if that helps your or not

[Nathan]

Well...you have to realize that Vickie is the ONLY person that works in the office, she answers all telophone calls and all the e-mails so you can see how it's hard for her to respond to them all I have put a deposit down on an RB25 clip...should be getting one soon I know they have had problems with their motors but with a startup gaurantee and offering to fix things I dont mind saving the money

[cvc9216]

I just got my clip from Venus the other day and I couldn't be more satisfied. Customer service was awesome, Vicki was always helpful. Shipping took about a week. The clip is cleaner than any of my cars..18k miles :rockon

[spec-v5150]

Good to hear from both clip recipients. Man I cant wait.

[Snarlynx]

Sorry to hijack the thread but I have a qustion (or two).

1) I have a full size flat-bed truck, if I was so inclined, could I just go pick up the clip and have them put it in the back of the truck?I'll drive 2 hours to save 350 dollars.

2) what was the "special" price on the rb25det clip? I didn't call because I don't have all the funds togeter to do it right but with the rb25det powered car in SCC and the following instal guide, I fear the price of clips will go up like the sr20dets did, so I may borrow against my car if I have to.

If anyone can answer these questions, I'd aprieciate it.
