I've never purchased a motor online / mail order, but I know a lot of people who have (no rotaries, though). Based on those experiences, you're looking at about a 50% success rate for motors imported from Japan like that. Those stats may even be inflated because a lot of the people that I know are well-immersed in the pro drifting scene or work for the US branches of Japanese companies and would have better connections.

There's a user on here, Japan2LA, who sells motors. Check him out. At least he has rotary knowledge and a forum to answer to.

my buddy just picked up a S5 turbo swap for his FC from tigerauto.com and tore it apart when he got it to take a look. everything is in good condition and it would've ran fine but he already a rebuild kit so why not.
