Westy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Anyone used RHD Japan before? I've been on their site looking at a couple of items and the prices look great in comparison to US/UK prices. Even after shipping, duties and taxes it works out cheaper. Looking for feedback on communication from them and authenticity of parts sold please. Thank you in advance.

Style Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 There's a thread on Driftworks about them mate, pretty much all good feedback from the guys there. The thread is a few years old though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yep used them for my OS Giken clutch, great price, kept informed throughout, delivered within a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ive used them many different times, prices are great from them and delivery is actually pretty quick so i wouldnt be put off by the distance either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I used them quite a few times a number of years back when the exchange rate was better. You can get superb discounts if you buy in bulk. I never had issue with them. Edit - I bought a Greddy 2 row intercooler, cusco brace and a load of Defi gauges. All were genuine and in tip top order.

Westy Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks for the feedback folks. Looks like I'll be placing an order when I free up some cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 http://www.greenline.jp/ are also good, I generally just go with who is cheaper; got parts from both companies Nengun shipping rates have gone crazy so stopped shopping there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inazone Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 That's funny I've just been in contact with them over some new tein shocks. The price is very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhy Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Something I spotted over on GTROC which is worth looking at: - http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/362770-rhdjapan.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukhy Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Possibly yes. When I posted the link it just had the OP's information there. The rest of the thread deems them to be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've looked at buying in Blitz components from Japanese suppliers in the past but always found the freight frightening as they don't seem to bother with cheaper surface options and air freight is expensive. Consequently I've tended to buy from Continental Europe or USA suppliers when they are significantly cheaper than UK retailers, sufficient to justify a few days to a couple of weeks transit time on the parts. For anyone considering buying outside of the EU don't just get sucked in with the headline price as VAT and duty will be added once the parts enter the UK. This is a good site that'll work out for you what a delivered duty paid price will be from any source. http://www.dutycalculator.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoGlE Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Sorry to bring this up again but I've just had my first experience with RHD Japan and I can honestly say I'm really impressed! I ordered a Defi gauge from them probably late Friday afternoon around 5. Had constant emails with updates of my order and it turned up this morning! Well impressed. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to buy genuine parts at a decent price and need them asap. I'll definitely be back to buy again.
