Buyers Beware UPFD.com
I bought a sr20det redtop from them late may early june they and I got all the bells and whistles and prefabbed wire-harness for around 2300 shipped. The guy who handles nissan motors james said it'll be in about 2 weeks. cause they're waiting on a shipment. so 2 weeks go by and no word I call them they said they said there's a delay but it'll come in another 2 weeks so I wait again ! 2 weeks go by and I call them again next thing I know they said a week note this is strike 3 and I m getting rather fed up and their reason was that customs was hlding it and they couldn't find someone to ship cheap enough but they did told they were gonna eat some of the charge since they garunteed shipped for 250.I order a plethora of parts to decorate my engine bay and yet no motor. SO I another week goes I decide to talk to boss this time his name is matt. Matt is running around with his with out a head tryin to do 3-4 things at a time and I tell I'm tired of waiting I want my money NOW ! he said since I paid via credit card it'll take a week I said fine cause I'm not wait for my money like did my motor and I was being very Blunt, he assures my that I will have the money in a week. so fast foward about 2-3 weeks almost a month still haven't got the rest of the money he keeps telling me that I will get it. I even filed a dispute with the bank to get he money back he told them that he told my bank that he was goning to do it that night but never did and I would call my bank to see any incoming electronic refunds and I've only recieved a 200.00 refund. and In all my honest opinion from a customers point of view DO NOT BUY FROM THEM it is a sham, they are a prime example a of a unprofessional business, that place is a joke. no matter what kind of deal they have I recommend not buying from them they'll only give you the shaft now I m waiting 2100 to come back and I have my bank behind it only a matter of time I'll get back but when ? sorry for the vent I'd jus hate to see people to get ripped by these people plus my belief is If you can't run a good business don't run a business at ALL

Yeah it sucks that all these wannabe places are trying to jump on the JDM engine provider boat only to make good shops look bad everytime something like this happens.
Then again, it's good to buy from a reputable place... a lot of people I've seen try to get mega deals and then end up getting screwed and they wonder why, when if they spent maybe a few hundred dollars more at a reputable place, everything would have gone smoothly
