| To name a few: AMS: Waits for reputable vendors to put forth the money in Research & Development so a new and tested product can be brought to the table. Once the hard work is done, they acquire one, send it to China, and have a low grade copy made which they sell as their own product. It is far cheaper than the original but their markup is also much higher since it costs them next to nothing to make. While it seems they are saving the community money, they are providing sub-par quality parts and making a killing in profit which, in reality, is raping the members and killing innovation. Z1: They copy the parts of others, bash the originator, and then sell the product as their own. Their parts are also made in China and are often hit or miss on quality. CZP: Copied the 300* fuel rails in China and then sold the fake parts while still bearing the 300* name. Basically, he did what you would expect to find on the streets of Thailand. He put people at risk with dangerous fuel rails and only apologized after he was caught. The problem is that he was suspected long beforehand yet denied it meaning he was not really sorry at all or else he would have come clean when confronted. He also takes parts from the innovators, sends them to China, and has his own version made which he sells under the CZP namesake. There is more in search but that should be enough to get you started.
----------------------------------------------------- Never Play Leapfrog With A Unicorn!!! Do yourself a favor and just worry about your own car. I don't see what everyone is so worried about anyway. If someone else wants to perform a modification that you believe will destroy the value, cheapen the Z32 or whatever you can't sit on your hands about, wouldn't that make your tastefully-modified, white bread Z32 more rare and valuable? -- BradZ (FL) on December 23, 2007 at 12:19 PM The unicorn gets its revenge... -- Scotts94z32 on September 19, 2006 at 11:12 AM CLICK FOR DETAILS ABOUT BUYING A ZAMA POSTER!!!!
