i believe they are in japan. I've read mixed reviews on them --> 50/50. Some people got their janks. Some didn't. But they blamed that on poor management (which leads to bad customer service) at the time. All i have to say is that i'm lovin' their prices tho.

they are located in canada, and i read a big article about them on another board one time, where some guy ordered a part, got a blown turbo sent to him, went to their actual shop, ended up getting a new one, but the manager there was like, oh well we will just sent it to someone in the us that wont bring it back. ive heard mixed reviews also, but even 50/50 isnt good enough for me to take a chance. its all up to you howard, its your cash bro.

go do research on honda-tech, basically what i've read you have a 50-50 chance of getting a good motor or a bad motor....

if yer lucky i heard some dude ordered a 2nd gen. b16 and they sent him a b16b on accident....

i ordered a jdm 2nd gen. b16 from them back in november when i had my 97 ek, but totalled my car the same day and had to cancel my order.

i dunno, youre trying to get an SR right? there are a lot of parts to a full SR swap that osaka seems to beat around the bush about. when i was working on my s13 trying to get it prepped for an sr swap, i called osaka to see what was up with their prices being so low. i talked to one dude who spoke broken english and he said full swap, i asked what was included in a full swap he said everything. i asked if it came with the ignitor chip and an uncut harness and he said no ignitor chip and the harness is cut. then i talked to another dude who said no intercooler (sidemount) or the i/c piping. so basically all youre getting is a motor, ecu (that might be from another setup), a useless cut harness and a turbo that probably wont work. if youre doing a full buildup and going standalone that's the perfect setup lol but from what we talked about before it sounds like you want a full swap. go to srswap.com or get ahold of daunttless on nissaninfiniticlub.com he start-up guarantees his motors and has had a lot of happy customers. hope this helps
