Anyone deal with Jspec? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Stamina · 08-17-2006, 12:16 PM

I wwant to buy something from Jspec....but have 2 issues, one they wont ship to Canada, i will ship to the US, then get my buddy to send up here. Two they dont take credit cards....only internation wire transfer. A buddy of mine told me to stay away from them, not cause he has ever delt with them but cause he thinks that its pretty fishy that they wont accecpt credit cards.

Any help is wanted, i really want an item i cant seen to find anywhere else so if you have yay's or nay's for Jspec please let me know.

Thanks

Nismo240SX · 08-17-2006, 12:18 PM

i have. they're very easy to deal with. no problems at all.

kensreliableb18b · 08-17-2006, 12:18 PM

dont worry, sam isnt like that. jspec is a go.

sam...he knows he knows...hahahahah

Dousan_PG · 08-17-2006, 12:20 PM

jspec like jspec.com
??
they are fine to deal with
yeah shipping to caanda sucks, i wont do it to
they dont have to if they dont want to, they can do what they want. usually can find a local or us buyer for the same product.

fishy? hahaha
jspec has been around for almot 6 years and is very well known and the owner sam is a good friend with most of the so cal import 'scene' and such

assuming you are talking about JSpec.com (sam)

Stamina · 08-17-2006, 12:47 PM

Thanks for the replies guys. Good to know.

A Spec Products · 08-17-2006, 01:39 PM

that isn't out of the ordinary

we typically wont accept anything except wire transfer from international customers

this is due to the rotten apples unfortunately, who ruin it for everyone else

but yeah like dousan said, if its jspec.com (sam) then you have nothing to worry about in terms of reputation

S13Koop · 08-17-2006, 02:33 PM

I've dealt with them on serveraly occations with no problems.
They're just no nonsense and to the point.

psycko069 · 08-17-2006, 02:36 PM

yea they are good to go. i actually had to open a paypal account a few months ago so i could pay them for a set of wheels i bought, which sucked cause i didnt want to deal with paypal. but as far as sam and jspec, i had no problems at all.....

Flybert · 08-17-2006, 02:42 PM

Sam is the man. He helped me out back in the day by loaning me some wheels with tires so I could do a drift comp. He didn't even know me that well but he knew I was serious about tracking my car. I'll always promote him for that very reason. He has good deals on tomei 2 ways and installs too. AHHAHAHA

Sam gets two thumbs up in my book.

ballr858 · 08-17-2006, 03:17 PM

sam is a great guy. i bought suspension parts from him back in the day. very friendly and good customer service.

**Phlip** · 08-17-2006, 03:20 PM

I tried to deal with them a couple times, but never got a response from my emails when I tried, so I gave up and bought what I needed elsewhere.

Everyone else, on the other hand, says they're okay to deal with, but I have long since stopped trying.

420sx · 08-17-2006, 03:26 PM

jspec ftw. got a few nice deals from them

94cc0rd · 08-17-2006, 04:01 PM

Two thumbs up for Sam and Jspec.
I got my MR Coilovers from Sam almost a year ago and got them cheaper than what they go for brand new these days. Also got several other parts from him and every time, the transactions went smooth.

ramblux · 08-17-2006, 04:07 PM

I bought a car from Sam -- he's a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

He's kind of the car parts version of the soup Nazi. Sometimes ya gotta jump through hoops, but in the end it's all good.

*ManoNegra* · 08-17-2006, 04:12 PM

I'm with Phil. Got ignored a few times years ago. *shrug* there are enough places out here willing to take my money.

redsuns3838 · 08-18-2006, 12:47 AM

theyve been around for along time so dont worry about getting scammed. i dont really deal with them since same was rude to me. i called and asked what color of a certain brand of lugnuts they had in stock, i forgot wut it was, maybe works?, and he said *youll have to come down and see for yourself* I thought he was joking at first, but he wasnt. he wouldnt tell me what colors they had before i made a 30 minute drive to the shop to find out. so I would rather spend my money at another shop.

but you shouldnt have problems buying from them. i mean theyll get you ur product and all that good stuff.

I thought they were based out of Japan? Redsuns if there is a cali shop could you please forward me some info. I have a friend in cali but she wont know anything about this shop at all.
Thanks

RTAUTOWORKS · 08-18-2006, 07:19 AM

IF you would to advertise on here, please contact RJF in PM's. Until then, please refrain from soliciting your buisness. Thank you.

***S13SilviaGirl*** · 08-18-2006, 07:21 AM

Sam is a great guy...kind of a sponsor/mentor for kevin and I. He is awesome. He does travel a lot, wich is the reason it takes a while for him to return e-mails.

and yes jspec is based out of cali.

justinhustle · 08-18-2006, 08:03 AM

never had a single problem with buying from sam & jspec....

and he even helps out the retarded, like hiring henry o.O

luff ya nitekeeeeds

drift freaq · 08-18-2006, 11:04 AM

Sam is the man, known him for years. Rule of thumb with him is basically you deal with him his way he gets you what you want and sometimes for the total hook up. The big thing to remember with Sam is. He has been in the game since the beginning. He deals with a lot of people. If he seems short, don't worry its got nothing to do with you. He deals with so many people he does not like to mince words or waste time. He is basically of the attitude that if your calling or emailing him he has what you want. If you can deal with that then he will sell you good product and stand behind it. On top of that if your local and he tells you to come down to the shop do it! You will do yourself a big favor by coming down and meeting the man. He is very cool in person.

raz0rbladez909 · 08-18-2006, 11:18 AM

another +1 for sam, he helped me get the rest of my kouki 180sx aero even when it wasn't listed on the site, really good guy to deal with and i will be purchasing from him again as soon as i need something rare

He can tell you damn near ANYTHING you could ever want to know about an s-chasis. What works and what dosn't. What looks hot and what looks like ass.

He is a walking encyclopedia for import cars. Go there and listen to the man if he invites you down or you see him at a meet.

trsilvias13 · 08-18-2006, 11:43 AM

isnt there a vendor review sub forum?

pkw1 · 08-20-2006, 11:21 AM

Ya, they just won't deal with you if you're in Canada.. I've once inquired about a shift knob, and I know they don't like shipping to Canada, but I've said I'd really wanted that one and have trouble finding it else where, and I'm willing to pay any additional amounts for shipping, and they just ignore me..

Stamina · 08-21-2006, 07:30 AM

Can someone please get me a address of this place, or at least what county its in? The site does not list it and i have to send a friend who lives in Cali to go get me a part.
Thanks

redsuns3838 · 08-21-2006, 08:04 AM

stamina, www.jspec.com
like dousan posted earlier.

maybe ill drop by if they open an OC shop. till then im not gonna waste my time driving 40 minutes and wasting gas just to find out if they have the color of lugnuts i want.

Stamina · 08-21-2006, 08:33 AM

My bad....i was under the impression that this was a store you can go to. Didnt know they are internet purchases only.

Have you been paying attention?
He does business both ways, locally and through the website... My own experience went the way it did because I am not local enough to have dropped by to get what I wanted. Some of the people that responded positively had that luxury, a couple agree with my experience. All in all, having dealt with a small fraction of the people he deals with for his living, I can see where Sam may be a little jaded and/or short with people, but experience will do that to an individual.

Ian · 08-21-2006, 09:08 AM

Sam is a very stereotypical asian business man (as weird as that sounds)

He's all up front, no bullshit and not much of an artist with words. He says what he needs to say, period.

Good guy though from my dealings. Sometimes he just comes off the wrong way though.
