Yeah,

Jazzproparts is just the middleman for Osaka, so are JDMMotors and Plan B.

If you had searched, you would have found that Osaka is a BIG no-no.

Sorry to hear that, man. I'd try to get them to refund your money, even if you have to pay for shipping back.

Please don't put that thing in your car!


BTW, Please post pics too.

 

I also just went ot there website to find out they charge some bull shit 35 percent restocking fee which is 1400 dollars! And i was thinking y the hell would they charge me a restocking fee if they sent me the wrong MOTOR!

 

You got raped :-/

 

Hey I got my SR from Jazz too not too long ago. it was exactly as stated, and everything was fine. Sorry to hear what you have got but yes, as Jarou111 said, they are just the middle man of Osaka Jdm motors in Canada.
Inside of my turbo was hella dirty too, but i took it off and soak that sucker overnight and now its super clean and boosted nice also !
Good luck , let us know what happen .

 

well here are the pics

here is the transmission does any one know what those cut lines are!!

Fucked up crank pully!

no oil cooler! and where the hell would i find one of these!

messed up lines!!!

grimy intake pipe I tooke it off to find out more bad news that the turbine doesnt even move!! does any one know what i should do?

More bent lines!

dented wastegate!

Bent fittings

god this sucks if i cant get it retuned what should i do and where can i buy the lins from or can some one make new ones what should i do about the turbos?

 

You're gonna spend about $1400, maybe more to get that thing to run well.

BTW, since that car looks like it was in an accident, if that crank pulley was hit like that when the car was running, you could have MAJOR motor damage from stress on the internals.

 

damn ... that sucks =/

 

I have had to RB26 bug the past few days. But after reading this I am kinda scared to give up my mechanicly sound/good running RB25 for a mystery RB26.

 

Sorry to hear of another Osaka rip off..... here is the inside of my RB26 motor I got from them last year. If you pitch a big enough bitch to them (in a nice way at first) you may get half your money back as I did. Every part that could be ruined on my motor was. It musta had a oil pump fail, then they just ran it till it locked up.
BTW, it looked nicer than yours does on the outside, so can't go by that. My turbo were froze up also, and when I pulled all the plugs, and used a compression tester (with a battery and cables hooked to the starter) I knew right then I was beat.... then I tore it down to find the whole motor was toasted...

 

Yep, that's kind of buggered up. That sucks. Just be thankfull you got an engine though, alot of people I know have been screwed out of thousands and received nothing.

Osaka is bad news.. I've been hearing shit about them since they started that business. I doubt they'll help you with anything. Show them that you're a petient guy and they might.. who knows.

The oil lines can be replaced, that's not hard. If you can do this swap, I'm sure you'll be able to find a fix for them. I'd go stainless.

The crank pulley looks ok, just a bit chipped on the edge? If the belt can still ride on the grooves it'll be fine. My crank pulley was totally busted and I'm still looking for one.

Not sure about that oil cooler. I'd send them that picture and see if they can source you one.

Your dented wastegate is probably fine, you can test it with a vacuum.

Take the turbo's off and dissasemble them. Clean them up and they're probably fine. After sitting for long periods of time they will seize up like that because of the oil/coolant that was in them. If they're fucked, RB26 turbo's are very cheap, I'm sure you can find some new ones.

About the engine being an R32. I don't think that's a terrible thing. The only big problem I see is with the crank collar, which can be modified easily.

Heh.. good luck. Post more pictures as you tear into it. If you're keeping it that is.

 

Yea, I was going thru mine anyways, no matter what cond it came in... but it still pisses you off that a rotten bastard gets away with this time after time.

I ended up getting $1,500 of my $3,000 back from them, then he sent me a very nice 97 R33 rb26 for $2,000 shipped. So, I ended up with 2 motors for $3,500

Try talking to a guy called John. I have most of that stuff you need (oil/water lines) because I went all custom. Once you figure out what your gonna do, get back with me on it...

well you could always go to their shop and get up in their face and shit it always seems to work but then again i've only seen my dad do it and hes a lawyer so that might help

 

hmmm= get your plane ticket - and go to them - thats the only way you are going to get satifaction- or case the place and robb it while there closed.
i DO NOT LIKE GETING FUCKED OVER----------------------------------
the last time i got screwed was when i bought a carbenfiber food for my s14 - nice hood but the guy charged me for 3 hoods!
so my visa bill was 2100 bux for a hood ..he would not return my money so i got to work and drive 8 hrs down to LA . -lets just say i got my money back.

 

I think I already know the answer to this, but how did you pay them?? If you lucked out, and didn't send them a money order, you got that ass.... just file a dispute. (but like I said, I think I know already...) :tears

 

I payed them with a visa so I think i can get my money back and I dont think they can even charge me a fee because they sent the wrong engine.

 

now thats the best part of this story... :thumbsup

 

Sounds like some flashoptions shit

 

I payed them with a visa so I think i can get my money back and I dont think they can even charge me a fee because they sent the wrong engine.

If you payed on a credit card:

Call the bank and have them do a chargeback, then contact osaka and have them pay for return shipping.

If it was a visa debit then you may be SOL.

 

yes so all I have to do is call the bank and then they have to take the engine back and pay for shipping.

If it was with a credit card that can be charged back, be sure to take a few freebees off their pos motor for your troubles :thumbsup

I'd for sure remove the alt and starter. Its nice to have a spare for those wear parts... :greddy:

 

Sweet! so where should i get my RB from now? and for under4k?

 

Fuck it, send them a long block, strip that bitch, if they make you pay for shipping just state that you were trying to save on cost of shipping by removing heavy parts such as the crank and rods/pistons turbo's intake manifold injectors etc.

 

ill buy the crank and rods and pistons?? :thumbsup

You get it from a company that will send you pictures of the actual engine set before you buy it.

Venus sent me about 20 pictures.
