Todo empezo con un post en el blog oficial del propietario de J's dirigido a AJ-Racing.. que como sabemos son los mismo que T1R y que como sabemos es (era) distribuidor oficial de J's racing en Canada/USA
Dear Ben Leung
First of all, it is almost 9 years since we, J’s Racing, started a business
relationship with your company in 2002. We fully acknowledge that your sales
& marketing have made the current J’s Racing popular status in the North America
and we deeply thank you for that.
Unfortunately we have to present you a rather unpleasant notice today. We recently
learned that in spite of your status of an official distributor of J’s Racing, you
have been copying J’s Racing products in a factory abroad and selling the products
as the genuine J’s Racing merchandise.
In order to verify the information and to get the clear evidence we actually purchased
a product from you for an inspection. Regrettably we found that you not only copied the
product but also copied our packing tape and box to make the product look exactly like a
genuine J’s Racing product.
Now that we have a proof and we consider your conduct as a criminal offense, we no longer
can maintain the current business relationship with you. We have already consulted an
attorney in the British Columbia and we are ready to take strong legal actions if necessary.
We strongly feel that an official distributor should be the one policing the copied or
knockoff products. It is outrageous that an official distributor itself sells a copied
product as a genuine one. This is an inexcusable conduct even from the social point of
view and we will not forgive this kind of crime.
Regarding this matter, we are considering the number of actions. We will give you one
chance of providing us a sincere response and coming up with an offer for a monetary
Our actions include but are not limited to
1) Termination of the distributor status
2) A legal action to demand accounting information on the quantity of the copied products
produced and to demand a definite proof for destroying the copied products.
3) Bringing a criminal charges against A&J Racing
4) Disclosure of the issue on our website using your company’s name
5) Disclosure of the issue on the several forums in the world using your company’s name
To name several forums,
S2KI - Honda S2000 Community
8thCivic.com - 8th Generation Civics
NAGTROC - The Nissan GT-R Owners Club - Home

6) Notification of the issue to all the manufacturers J’s Racing has business relationship with
7) Notification of the issue to all the companies J’s Racing has traded with
8) Notification of the issue to all the magazine publishing companies A&J Racing has relationship with
9) Notification of the issue to your father, Anthony
Those actions will inflict serious damages to your company.
In the business world, the trust is the most important. It is very regrettable you have lost our trust.
We will be waiting for your sincere response and a specific compensation offer.
The deadline is April 22, 2009.
Sincerely
J’S RACING Junichi Umemoto

La respuesta de AJ-Racing es:
We have only imported J's Racing products in the past. Whatever products J's Racing supplies us is what we sell to customers.
Regarding authenticity of parts, over 50% of the products we've received from J's Racing in the past may or may not have had J's Racing labels, badges, engravings, or stickers of "J's Racing". J's Racing did not notify us on any of these changes, so we was the importer at the time, were unaware of any changes made by J's.
AJ-Racing actually dropped the J's Racing line as of March 2009 due to internal issues that were never resolved in the past. In the last year, 8 North American dealers dropped J's Racing.

O sea que basicamente lo que dice es "Lo que vendemos es lo que tu nos envias".. como son distribuidores, es probable que esas piezas falsas (proporcionadas por J's o no..) también se hayan distribuido a otras tiendas de USA/Canada
(por cierto, hace unos meses T1R me comento que ya no distribuian productos J's "due to quality issues").. Curiosamente en ese intervalo de tiempo 8 tiendas mas de USA han decidido dejar de distribuir productos de J's Racing...
Quien tendra la razón? yo tenia 3 colectores en la lista (J's, T1R, ASM/TODA) y gracias a la polemica esta, ya he tachado a los dos primeros
(a veces las polemicas hacen que las decisiones sean mas faciles)
