Default Got our Osaka Motor today! Big Mistake dealing with them.

After everyone gave me advice not to order from Osakajdmmotors.com I decided to go ahead and order because of the 1k dollar difference. Well the motor came today.. No ECU and no shift linkage.. what a bust.. and that's just at first glance! I hope there isn't any other probs..

anyone else ever resolve anythign with Osaka before? Who did you get involved?

Thanks!

Those guys have fucked around SO many people around here they're known as Osaka-caca. Not trying to kick you while your down dude but why did you order if everyone told you not to ? You might have saved a grand at first but you'll easily spend it in time/aggravation/effort/more money to get your stuff.

Not mucyh to do now ..... as stated, get a compression/leakdown done ASAP and call about your missing parts. May the shwartz be with you ....

I know that http://www.osakajdmmotors.com has screwed over many different people, but I encourage you to check out this thread...

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=893810

...maybe it's hit-or-miss with them ...

Good luck to you !

go figure... a while back we ordered a 7mgte from them and it was in all sort of messed up; blown headgasket, multiple broken sensors, and other problems. at the same time we ordered a n/a 4g63 from them, but in return got a 4g67. the 4g63 flwheel and clutch set is different than the 4g67 out of the hyundai elantra's; not allowing the engine to move freely, the 4g63 clutch / flywheel / bellhousing on the 4g67 block was impeding the engine from rotating. went from a 2 liter to 1.8 liter. the list could go on and on... not to mention their customer service is non-existant. they straight up told us, "u can take what you got and stick it up your ***."

dude if you payed w/ a credit card do a charge back! When you pay w/ a credit card you have all the power as a consumer. Call your credit card company and dispute the charges!

I know most of you think that I am too cheap and should have paid the extra $1000 + shipping costs for a place like SOHFast.. however I did read some success stories about Osaka. Either way the order was placed on a Credit Card so we will fight the bill.

Thanks for all the input from the people who did not just try to bash me.

Because you are affiliated with them and are trying to keep thier reputation. Just STFU and get out of here.

I just ordered an RB26DETT and 2 SR20DETs from them. Problems with all 3 sets. The first SR20 set had a crushed ECU, rest "seems" fine. Second SR20 set was missing the Clutch and flywheel, Cam sensor was crushed also. The RB26DETT seemed like everything was ok till I relized it was an R32 motor instead of the R33 like they told me. This will be the last order they get from my buisness and they can f%#@ off and die from now on, DEATH TO CANADA!!.

Maybe if you would have researched your seller for 5 minutes, you would have gained some valuable insight ..... Osaka is shady and are known for **** like this. If you read all that and still ordered 3 motors? I'd say the lack of inteligence isn't as far as you think ....

That's what I'm talking about. Full linkage will run you under $100 NEW even if you have to buy the bolts and Energy suspension bushings.

ECUs are a dime a dozen and unless you need some super duper moogin powa skunk2 super rich ECU with the rice steamer function, they shouldn't run more than $150.

As long as compression is good and those things are all that you're missing, I'd say you made out pretty good and avoided the people gouging the poop out of us on these engine prices.
