Seedy Al Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Possibly. I did have a look yesterday. I have never used you shop so I don't know what delivery times are usually like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 5-9 days apparently. I'll let ya know when my stz shows up. I've used them a bit but never paid much attention to delivery times. Often they spend more time getting through customs than getting to NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I just ordered an item from the states via youshop, i paid for the slow option and its been 10 days since i left the US. Its sitting in NZ, and in NZ for 5 of them. Its still sitting at the depot in Kaiwharawhara waiting for delivery. NZPost is useless, but its a decent option. Its really good for shipping small items.

SOHC Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Last night in the shed on the dirt floor I could strike an arc with the arc welder on any metal object with out the earth clamp even being on it, even the vice and a metal hook attached to a wooden pole, it wasn't a usable arc but it was strange. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never used you shop so I don't know what delivery times are usually like Youshop is all good. as said can be a little slower but it varies wildly like most oversea shipping. It is a little more work since you have to check in when it arrives at their usa warehouse and input the item value and tell them to send it on. you need to check generally esp with summit, often the cheaper summit shipping is the same cost as youshop and it just turns up. but other times summit sends you a giant box of American air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 It's pretty annoying when things are packed in oversized boxes, and then charged on volumetric weight. I was able to repack my last order into half its size very easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 They probably have a minimum box size for their automated conveyer/shipping systems. Not like the aliexpress sellers who hand wrap everything into mini bubble wrap packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Here's a question on a flat Tappet engine, if you fit a fully hektik race cam, they say to break the cam in on stock valve springs/only run the outers if you have nice new doubles. On like a Datsun A series, it's not a hard job to swap them after the cam is broken in. But how about on an Ohc motor like say a CA18, or an RFB (de/det obviously) if you fit monster cams, you're obviously gonna Rev the clacker off it. Requiring uprated valve springs. How do engines such as this go? It's pretty much a head off job to swap the valve springs on one of those motors. @BobbyBreeze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
