looking to buy jdm s5t2 motor

So taxes are here n I get to spoil myself. So looking to buy jdm s5t2 motor. I noticed that no website offers any type of warranty. So my ? Is what are some of the best sites to order from that maybe have warranty, what sites did you guys order from and your experience. How long have your motors lasted? I've heard stay away from jdm engine depot and Osaka jdm motors. What have you heard from them? Any input would be great.

I bought mine from Japan2LA, a member on this forum.
Great experience; the motor had high compression, he was always on the ball communicating with me, he has pretty much any part you could need for your swap (or otherwise) and the icing on the cake was that my swap came with a brand new shrink wrapped and installed flywheel (assuming the one that the car came with looked bad.)

He shipped fast, has a warranty (or at least did), and if you search the forum you can find similar experiences.

Yeah, he's one of the few importers that actually give a damn about the rotary community.
