Hey guys!

I remember a little while back it was mention somewhere on here that they knew someone in Japan that could get parts and send them over for a bit cheaper than going through an importers....
Can anyone help me out with an email adress or similar?

Thanks guys

how does this streeter thing work?

do we email him what we want and he finds it? or do we email him a link for an auction?

I sent him a link to an auction page... he did the rest from there. Not sure if he will source the parts tho. probably best to send him an email.

Got in touch with Jesse via email and yes he will ship out OEM parts.
Looking at the price list for major service parts its better then NZs.
Paypal-able, now just awaiting further news on more parts from him.

Send him an auction link or tell him exactly what you're after and he'll get it for you. When I bought my wheels I told him the required size, stud pattern etc and he contacted the supplier on my behalf.

What he won't be able to do is help out if you say "I want some wheels for my car what can I get?" or something like that.

Hey guys! Just wanted to recommend Jessie again! He is fantastic ! Done a bit of ordering of stuff through him now and his prices are great! Would have to be about 1/2 the charges of the other guys. Cant wait to get my stuff in soon!

How long have you found Jesse took to reply to emails? I'm desperately needing some new driveshaft boots!

dude.. its pretty easy to get them replaced..

if you are able to remove the drive shafts.. (if im not mistaken, they're the ones with the CV Joints) I suggest that you just take it to a workshop.. I took mine to CV Joint Australia which is located in Slacks Creek, they had it ready in 1 hour..

where do you live btw?

Usually costs me no more than a $100 for an entire driveshaft refurbishment. I think it was about $60 for one joint only (eg: inner or outer). Look in the Yellow Pages, plenty of places.

Jessy can be a little slow on the return email front, but that's life mate. He's a busy bloke.

I've just recently gotten more stuff from him (power window motors). He replied pretty quickly, either the same day or next day.
