ttsupra97 Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 I puchased my Fields harness a few months back from www.checkerflag.co.jp. I had to wire transfer the money to their account, but the unit was in my hands (Australia) something like 3 days after the funds cleared (it was sent via EMS post). Cheers, Tony.

GavinL Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Quote: from Matt Harwood on 7:22 pm on Feb. 7, 2002[br]Graham, just to let you know, I have had no luck trying to order these harnesses on their website. It wont seem to do an international post option. I have sent 2 e-mails to them so far and had no reply. I'll give them a phone call tomorrow to see whats happening.... I'll let you know... Matt, did you get hold of MVP? Did they have anything to say for them sleves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used checkerflag myself, they have good prices and keep you informed of your order/delivery. They will even make up a value for VAT/TAX purposes. I bought an HKS SuperDrager from them for my FTO and they were a pleasure to deal with (money transfer is a bit of a bugger and usually costs an 10-15 quid so if you can get a load of stuff together it works out better). Maybe Justin can get them in for a good price if they are in demand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsupra97 Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Yes, like Rich, I can offer nothing but praise for checkerflag. They were very quick in responding to emails which is always comforting when dealing with an overseas company. They never wasted any time at all in getting my gear out the door when the money had cleared as well and also took note of any specific delivery/invoicing requirements (so I could minimise GST & customs taxes). So far I have bought a Fields Harness from them, and a HKS Type S FMIC. Below was the pricing for the Fields Harness. Don't worry if something isn't listed on their site, because they seem to be able to get just about anything. 1) Field harness for JZA80; 10,000 yen 2) handling fee; 3,000 yen 3) Shipping charge to Sydney, Australia; 4,000 yen (EMS Postage) Total Amount; 17,000 YEN You will find the price is quite competitive (particularly for you lucky brits with your exchange rate, damn you ). If anyone wants the pricing of the HKS Type S, just email me and I'll send you the figures on Monday (I used my work email account, so I don't have the info here).

Guest Martin F Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Have also used Checker Flag and nothing but praise for them. Wiring the money is a bit worrying as you don't really have a lot of come back, but everything went smoothly and the goods turned up in less than two weeks. Tony, would like to know what price you managed to get your S-type for as i know the R-type works out to be about £850, a sight cheaper than UK suppliers.

Matt Harwood Posted February 9, 2002 Author Share Posted February 9, 2002 Apparently MVP's website can only deal with US and Canada orders. They want me to "wire" the money to them and then they'll send it out. I assume that their term "wire" is like a bank electronic transfer. I have sent an e-mail to Checker flag for a quote as well. - No reply as yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted February 9, 2002 Author Share Posted February 9, 2002 This is the reply to the e-mail I sent on Wednesday, recieved today:- ________________________________________________________ The problem is that you are out of country. Our online ordering system does not allow online ordering from anywhere except Canada & the USA. The reason is that we do not accept international credit cards, only wire transfers. If you are willing to wire the money then I can give you a total & wiring instructions. Otherwise I’ll have to apologize b\c we will not be able to ship to you. Sincerely, Dusty ________________________________________________________ You might want to call them yourself Gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted February 11, 2002 Author Share Posted February 11, 2002 Checker flag have replied already! - I'm impressed! AND they're substantially cheaper Field harness is 12000 yen, handling 3000 yen and carriage 4000 yen Total 31000 yen which comes to around £165 for BOTH mine and Grahams! :biggrin: (As opposed to MVP's price of $175 which is about £123 EACH - PLUS carriage! :o) LAST CALL... Does anybody else want one of these so that we can share the handling and carriage charges? - Anybody looking to fit RLTC or anything else that wires in line with the ECU.....
