http://www.jarcoinc.com I have heard nothing but good things about this company... and they are one of the few reputable east coast suppliers

I would also like to see this to be put up as a sticky... it would save a lot of time in answering redundant questions.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WITH MY EXPERIENCE FROM VENUS TO OPEN YOU CRATE ASAP DO A THROUGH CHECK OF EVERYTHING AND COMPILE A LIST OF YOUR PROBLEMS THEN CONTACT VICKI IMMEDIATELY SO THAT THEY CAN GET YOU ALL SQUARED AWAY.

Bought my RB26 from venus. Didn't have a single problem. :)

Also purchased an RB25 on ebay once.. I'd never do it again, but the one I got was immaculate.

I got mine from DragDriftAutoX. Luis is one hell of a guy, and worked with me to get the engine to my door. The engine was in great great condition, but it goes beyond that...

He would mass e-mail with updates, called to make sure everything was cool, which was great, that way you knew what was happening with your engine you paid a lot for at any given moment.

He will donate his right arm to make sure you get what you want, and need to your garage. If you have wiring problems, he will set aside time to walk you through it, which I will be doing here pretty soon :D. I recommend him, VERY highly.

So far I am the only one to experience buying from them that I know of. Had a good experience from them. Sent pics via email and shipped the engine as soon as my credit card cleared.

JDM Parts Plus in Goldsboro, NC had a container that was supposed to hit port (Wilmington) yesterday. I think there are three 2.5's and one 2.6 available.
