Some pretty strong words Glassman. Are you willing to go on record as saying that your product is superior to those of Dr Iannetti?

I think some more time should be spent on trying to improve the huge cermet coating flaws and the poor/slow customer service before anyone tries to proclaim the superiority of their seals. Anyone interested in what I'm talking about please go to the 7 forum to see what issues there have been so far.

No, as I said it is highly debateable and there are varying opinions.

I'm interested, what in the world are you talking about? What do Cermet housings have anything at all to do with NRS ceramic apex seals?

JHB has no part in the making of NRS seals and NRS has no part in the making of Cermet housings. There is no connection.

You're going to fit in fine around here, welcome

here's the website for those open-minded enough to care:

fwiw, everything I've seen at RX7Club on these seals is pretty much positive

JHB sells ceramic seals. Are they just NRS seals or do they actually make them? I thought you were here from JHB. If not and there is no relation to them then I apologize. You couldn't pay me to use anything of theirs.

They are NRS seals and no JHB does not make them. They have purchased some of the "Black" seals which once the material runs out will no longer be offered. The reason being the "Grey" seals are so much more popular and demand for the "Black" seals is minimal.

I am here as NRS and only NRS, I do not agent for anyone but my products.

No apology is necessary as it seems to be a simple misunderstanding

All the best,
Sven Nielsen

Iannetti Apex Seals

Just for the record, these are the only seals we've used since 91. Also the ceramics for Renesis have been available for more than 2 years now and are available from Mazda Competition Parts.

yes, I know about Iannetti

just curious though, there's nothing wrong with being informed

MM is known to be out of stock on those before ...

3 mm ceramic seals for the Renesis? Sounds like good insurance for FI...next best thing to low compression rotors.

Cool. Soon there will be more go-fast parts to suck the dollars out of my skinny wallet !!!

I think we can now conclude that Iannetti has the only ceramics specifically for the renesis.
