Well I'm sorry but those ain't NOS. Those are from DelcoRemy which has absolutely no association with GM or the old DelcoRemy as most of us could relate to.
The starter is NEW but ain't NOS! I've absolutely no idea who is doing the builds for DelcoRemy but I doubt it's 'denso. Could be certainly but if that blue label doesn't say Nippendenso .................... This is the NEW DelcoRemy and it appears that maybe now they're a member of the BorgWarner parts family. I don't know how long ago that happened. I've bought MD/HD starter motors from these people for years. http://www.delcoremy.com/Starters Here's what DelcoRemy has to say about their 10455704 http://www.delcoremy.com/find-a-part...tails/10455704 Last edited by WVZR-1; 07-21-2017 at 08:22 PM. |

Both the box and the starters are labeled "delco remy" and "made in Japan".
So they are not a Chinese copy. What are they supposed to be labeled in order to be a real Delco Remy product?

If that label were a GM/AC-Delco with the part# it could be maybe taken to be NOS and it would have a very different label on the starter itself. http://www.autonews.com/article/2004...es-name-change What does the BLUE LABEL actually say? Last edited by WVZR-1; 07-21-2017 at 08:44 PM. |

Having carried the Remy brand for several years now, I have come to believe that the major components have always been new, simply because there was never a core charge/exchange involved and the appearance of the parts. It doesn't take a giant leap to speculate that Remy may be behind the private Delco Remy label, especially when the link to the new Delco Remy starter (provided by WVZR-1) also includes a photo of a reman unit that has a "Remy International, Inc" watermark. ZR-1 specific parts have a very limited market, so they may not be around long. SMP made a run of fuel pressure regulators and dropped them after the supply was exhausted. Stant has discontinued manufacturing the ZR-1 specific thermostat..... and the list goes on.

I saw this most recent post: Quote:
They're either someones "overstock" or perhaps they're part of an order by someone, a random QC check by the purchaser (not done often anymore) and the entire order refused. RockAuto got their start liquidating manufacturers overstock and reselling reboxed inventory from auto parts store buyouts. I'm an RA "hater" still. What are they selling now? Who knows. I believe Denso actually offers a new starter but I believe it's priced generally at $300+. Is it theirs or do they maybe purchase and rebox now? I doubt they would do such short run production themselves BUT I'd think they still have higher QC requirements. Maybe ***I asked what the "BLUE LABEL" actually says. I'd think that if it's actually a Remy Intl product the box should display COO information. (COO - Country Of Origin) - Maybe those requirements have changed. Buyers - Does your box have any COO information on it? Never mind I spotted a label and it only states ASSEMBLED IN JAPAN - parts could be from anywhere in the world!! WAI? I'd say likely .....

The ebay seller has sold 97 so far.
These are ZR-1 specific starters - so it looks like people are stocking up. Either a gigantic horde or a source of new manufacture. |
