Im lookin for a swap, dont really feel like building the bottom end quite yet. So a nice quality swap is probobly hard to find.

I found Nagasaki Motors(http://www.nagasakijdmmotors.com/) did a search and couldnt turn anything up. Has anyone delt with them? I live near Jarco, but cant swing 3500$ for a S14 clip when they have them for $2100 on the site. It seems like all these places are in Canada now. But deff the best price Ive found other than ebay.

All places I've dealt with and I have nothing but good things to say about them from my experiences.

At least you know at jarco its been cranked and tested before the front clip was cut off, you also wouldnt have to pay for shipping.

+1 for Jarco, I know those guys real well and they've never had any junk come in. Also, JHot in Augusta if you don't mind the drive, they bring over a good deal of stuff too. For the cost of freight from anywhere else and the issue of not seeing/inspecting what you're buying I'd pay the extra and get a quality clip.

Yea my friend in Macon used to deal with Jhot when he had a shop open. Ive tried goin to their website but someone has hacked it. (nevermind . its good now)

I know for sure Jarco would be the BEST option. I have delt with them a few other time for misc. parts, and they are very knowledgable. Just seeing the savings makes you wanna jump on the cheaper deal.

$2100 for an S14 clip seems a little to good to be true to me... besides if you can buy good stuff locally, the extra money you're gonna pay would have been spent on shipping for the other, cheaper, parts anyway.

EDIT: And I just said the exact same thing R240NA said... I gotta start reading ALL the posts before I post. lol

there's a thread on Nagasaki motors in the business reviews. I've personally bought my RB25det set for $2250 shipped from them, only reason shipping was a bitch is because it was around Christmas time. if it weren't for x-mas i would've gotten it the following week of me ordering it. When it arrived, came on a pallet from UPS freight, clean engine and tranny. They didn't include my alternator, so i called them, and they sent me one w/o questioning me for free. I'd recommend them, sick deals and A+ customer service.

$2100 is for a swap, not a whole clip.

Jarco only sells half cuts Im pretty sure, and they are $3500. So I dunno. May take a trip up to their wharehouse and scope the goods, may change my mind.

hmm before i bought my car i was looking at buying from enjuku $2800 for an s14 blacktop....they seem like they prep them well and they also have ads here on zilvia...check with them maybe for some reason enjuku seems less sketchy than a lot of these other places idk why :confused:
