I have recently bought a turbo from a particular internet based company. the product sold turned out to be faulty. Any communication with the company regaurding warranty claim was ignored, nor did he reply to any emails sent. When purchasing the product a 1 year warranty covered all products his company sells. this, an extract from the web site "With the highest level of quality, all product sold by us are back with a 12 month period warrantee." when reading this i believed it to be honest testamint, so i bought the product.

as i found out a warantee of any type, or even communication is just an absolute joke.

Even when simply asking questions about the product, there was no response.

A company with such outright disreguard for procedure and service, not to mention being in breach of fair trading practices and misleading advertising, should not exist. To my knowledge he probably doesnt have an ABN number or i would probably seek legal advice for procecution.

i would appreciate any feedback or information reguarding this matter, as i belive it is import for us as consumers to end businesses such as this particular one outlined, that rip people off regularly and and who base their sales on lies and fraud, destroying the industry for other legitamate internet comapanies.

they sound pretty dodgy....what's their feedback like? how many?

I've bought stuff from businesses on ebay, and they've always been really professional - sent me an email with all their contact details etc

You can report them to ebay, don't know if it does much though >_<

hope you gave them really crappy feedback!

yeah all the spelling errors should have swayed me i guess lol. its probably a way to get around having to honer warranty claims!

he has alot of positive feedback from memory but the problem with ebay is you generally give feedback on overally buying experiance rather than product quality because people leave feedback before they fit it or have time to have problems with it. I actually didnt buy it through Ebay though but directly from his web Site.

Do chinese turbos and minfolds even have a proper warranty? I know some places give them, but every one in two china turbos break after boosting ;), so I wouldn't be suprised that the company selling them doesn't want anything to do with them after the moneys changed hands...

Don't buy china parts?

Chinese parts are awesome, but if you're buying a turbo you want a proper garett item, because its a critical part. The number of people I know who've blown engines by fitting chinese copy oil sumps for example.

Hey daritoboy what you can do is file a compliant to the ebay board (Australain one) since the seller doesnt respond to your emails. Im sure if the product that you brought is faulty and it comes with a 12 month warranty as stated, you are entitled to a refund or a replacement. Usually they respond after u lodged a complaint. If they dont then you can hire a midiator to resolve the problem (around $50 if you think its worth it). Hope that sheds some light cause Ive been in a similar situation before and the seller was from US, goodluck on getting your $$$ back.

Another ebay warning.

Steer clear of a seller calling himself 'qmcp'. He WAS going by the name 'quartermileperformance', but if you look up that username you will see that he had to change names after screwing too many people over and getting too much negative feedback.

You've been warned.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
