Sweet hope to meet some Zilvia members there lol.

BTW I need upgraded inner & outer tie rods. My brother has s13 Tein inners but supposedly they never made an actual s13 and that the thread pitch is made to fit s14 outers can anyone shine some light on that before I start ordering?

Yea that's correct. They will only fit the tein outer ends so you need to order then tein ones. They are only made in s14 thread pitch.

if you're going to buy isis you might as well go on ebay and buy whatever generic cheap parts you can since it's the same thing just with a different brand name/stickers and will probably cost less.

just check the classifieds periodically. good deals on quality parts come up all the time.

Never dealt with Venus... But I highly recommend buying an sr from Craigslist or some other sort of private party sale. Always a much better deal... I have a red top 100% complete for 1400 I'd sell you, but don't waste my time unless you have cash

Text me if interested... 916 533 6973

Venus is a great place to get parts. If you go there I would recommend knowing what you want first. I always go and get what I need but sometimes random stuff catches my eye and I pick it up as well. You just have to get to know the owner first...he's kind of a no bs guy. Don't expect to go there and browse around either....he won't let you too far into the building until he can trust you. Just be able to respond when him or the other guy say "what do you need today?"

another FYI....they buys jdm cars, have them cut up in sections, and shipped to the building....I'm pretty sure they don't go out of their way to mess up motors and parts before they sell it. I bought two window regulators for the s13 and they tested it in front of me before I bought it.

I'm not affiliated with them in anyway just got to know them by buying stuff- Since you guys are fellow sacto heads just thought I'd ease any reluctance to go there.

I agree with you, I've always been satisfied with my purchases there. I've also bought the wrong part before and he refunded me with no hassles.

I have seen the owner being kind of short with customers, but its because they would try to haggle and waste his time. Like you said, he's a no BS type of guy, if you go in there with a purpose and don't waste his time, he'll be cool.

I have also used Venus. Got my silvia front end from them. They were totally cool. I was not well versed in the parts options available and he showed me my options and made sure I had all the wiring needed for the lights. He only had 2 right fenders and did not want to sell me either of them cause they were not perfect. one was bad but the other was not too bad and easily fixed. So I told him I would take it. He was still a little reluctant but he gave in finally. point being, they make sure they dont sell you shit. Good guys down there. My first time there he was taking me all over the building. But then again I was in my late 30's at the time. I was not a kid and that probably made a difference with who he lets wander around there.

Venus auto is a wonderful place. Like siksyndicate said you have to go in knowing what you'd like.

I personally help out at Venus auto and will vouch for them. They DO NOT sell engines without compression tests. They will even start that crap in front of you. They also give a month warranty if something is messed up.

I recommend going in there with cash and an open mind. Know the parts they get are USED. Sometimes new parts come in shipments. (again knowing first hand)

With that being said the main boss is very firm on his prices. The fact that the parts are super cheap already.

P.S. He will take care of you. He does not like BS as stated above. If you want something special. Ask. Who knows if it comes in a shipment he could hold if for you.

P.S.S. Money talks. The only ticket into Venus. When I'm there a bunch of window shoppers come by. He remembers faces.

Either than that Venus is a JDM paradise if you utilize it well.

As far as I know, it's 100% complete. Besides the HID kit for lights.
