New Trusted Supplier - japanese4x4spares.co.uk
 

Guys

As you know I've had a real bee on my bonett recently regarding Milners and the quality of their kit and been looking for somewhere else similar that specialises in Japanese 4x4 bits.

Today I found these guys - http://www.japanese4x4spares.co.uk/

I can't believe that they are a 5 min diversion on my route in and out of work :doh I've passed by their place hundreds of times in the past year and a bit and never knew about their existence :doh

Popped in today and met they guy that runs the show, his name is Rob, really nice genuine, salt of the earth kind of guy, I'm going to try and establish more of a relationship with them and hopefully you guys can start putting some custom their way :thumb2

They don't stock as much as Milner seem to online however I've been inside and I can tell you that they will certainly be able to sort you out for bits and bobs.

Hopefully as time goes on and there is more demand for stuff, we can feed this back to Rob and he can start stocking more stuff that we frequently get through.

Get ordering guys and girls :cool:

Thanks for that.
I had a few things from them when I had the Paj, and found their delivery to be pretty prompt to.
I'm interested now in uprated springs for the Patrol, they have them in stock, and I'll give them first nod.

I've been looking for a place to buy some pro comp shocks from as I think jimny bits have stopped doing them. I might give these guys a call and see what they can offer.

Let me know how you get on Doug ive been looking at pro comps for mine.

Pro comps are a very soft off road biased shock.
Got them all round on mine and have no issues but don't tow heavy loads nowadays and don't think I'd want to with these on.
I've also used them in the past Banshee and as far as I can remember I've had no issues.

Thanks Zak :thumb2

Saved to my favs :D

I already have the rear 2" lift springs from them and had no issues and I thought it best practice to fit the shocks that go with them, but if they are like elty says I'm having second thoughts as I do mostly road driving and I tow a caravan. Saying that it's the springs that matter when towing so it's too late, I haven't towed the van with them on yet but I'll post on my truck thread when I do, I wonder how hard it would be to fit airbag spring helpers :augie:D

Cheers elty, Maybe not so good for towing the van with then. They do do monroe adventure which seem to have good reviews. Its always going to be hard to find a shock that is hard enough for towing but soft enough off road without going to adjustable dampers.

Ahhh adjustable dampers, that would be easier than airbags eh :lol

They have Rancho XL9000 Large on the shelf with adjustable dampers, I have a set of these fitted and they are great :thumb2

Been back in today to see Rob & Heidi and Kobi the Husky :thumb2

He's sorted me out a treat, my flexi is blowing just a little bit on my front downpipe :lol I've had a spare pipe off James but as my truck has had a Powerflow system fitted they have messed with the front downpipe to suit the new system so a standard terrano downpipe won't go onto my truck now :doh

I dropped both in at lunch to see what he could do and left them with him. An hour later and he'd rang me back to tell me he'd found a flexi section to suit the diameter of my current pipe and it was the same length :thumb2

To top it off, it was cheaper than the ones on eBay :bow I thought I'd get another turbo side gasket too, still got a brand new one for the middle section side

I think we're about to form a beautiful relationship with this outfit :thumb2

Nice one Zac, I'll have a good look into them :thumb2

Well, that was easy :lol

Zak the happy shopper :lol

Always good to find an outfit that are the exception to the norm that we experience nowadays :thumb2

Is it worth trying to weld that new flexi section in place? Wondering if it would be stronger?

Good point Jim. The clamps could be used to find the correct fit & to hold it whilst a few tacks are placed ready for welding.

I'm going to see how I get on with the clamps on their own for a while and then do the hand over the exhaust trick to see if it holds pressure.

It will no doubt wear out again and the more pipe and weld I keep having to cut out the less pipe I end up with every time.

Welding may be the way to go we'll see :)
