slide can't do much more (under the current circumstances) than ask you to send it to Murnane to be repaired. i don't know what difference it makes whether you know them or not this is their attempt to meet their warranty obligations.

if you send it anywhere else it is your choice and your cost.

i would send it to Murnane and discuss GCG findings with them and let them fix it.

+1 to all the above

Mate you have a sliding performance hiflow turbo, under warranty. The only course for your action is to send the turbo to the warranty workshop. Seeing you sent it to GCG (they didnt make it & dont warrant it, obviosuly) who are competitors to the turbo manufacturer; that is at your cost. Without doubt. However, now that you have a list of defects from GCG, again follow the above advice and provide a copy of the defects along with the defective turbo charger, for a replacement item under warranty.

simple really - you just have to make the 1st step by contacting the turbo manufacturing workshop. News to me that they wernt made inhouse. hhmmm. Brings a 3rd party into it and thats a pity, but they made the turbo and they warrent it, so you have to contact them and proceed further down that road. Call the manufacturer and discuss it............

good luck dude

Ive got one of these turbos and I like it :cool:

all I want is 2-3 yrs from it and then Id consider it "cost effective" ownership, due to the original 'cheap' price

1. Why is this in FI?

2. SECURITY - For someone who until today, was promoting Sliding Performance in their sig, you sure are quick to turn sides...people are so fickle these days....

3. What is it with everyone getting all litigious these days. FFS, this isn't the U.S (thank fark). Talking it out usually results in a better outcome for everyone.

4. I'm willing to bet if you (SECURITY) hadn't started this thread that Sliding Performane would have been happy to honour your warranty (I suspect they still will if you go about things in a reasonable fashion).

Not having a go or taking sides.....just a commentary.

1. where did you expect it to go? the wastelands?

2. ive got nothing against sliding performance but they pretty much screwed me by telling me to take it to GCG, then telling me my warranty is void by them opening it. its a direct contradiction of what i was advised to do and now im out around $1500 because of this.

3. ive tried talking it out. instead i was dicked around and was given contradicting advice.

4. this started by them telling me that they werent going to pay for GCG's fees and postage as a part of their warranty. i dont want the damn turbo anymore, the problems ive had with it have made me decide to sell my car once this is all dealt with.

well I would like to put in a good word for dynatorque in Arndell park in Sydney. The HKS turbo on my R32 GTS4 stated to develop that nasty smoke cloud at idle and the bearings screamed on rapid spool up. For a very good price they fully rebuilt it, and I also stuck a new dump pipe on also. Car drove like an absolute dream afterwards and even spooled up more rapidly. Just that sweet turbo whistle on high boost... No dreaded sounds...Very soon when I buy my GTR,if turbos need servicing I will be contacting them. They dont charge the earth like some shops do and unlike the myth that most people believe my turbo was roller bearing and they rebuild those no problems

Yeah look this should be sorted as Joe has said

1. He was unaware Murnane makes these turbo's thought Aaron did.

2. Aaron said send to GCG

3. Joe sent to GCG thinking this was all part of the warranty offered by Aaron (as in point 1. he didn't know they were made elsewhere)

4. All of a sudden finds out the existance of Murnane, then told they offer the warranty not Aaron, warranty void due to GCG touching it.

5. Should have been clearly stated that all repairs went through Murnane, not a local dealer for convenience...cause a void warranty isn't bloody convenient (maybe for Aaron it is)

6. It's not fair in my eyes, full refund for witholding the truth to Joe and putting him through this shit

thats exactly how it is.

all i want is a working turbo, if not, i just want my money back in full. ill be ringing the department of fair trading on monday to see what legal leg i have to stand on.

i've got a few guys helping me with this case, and a helpful SAU'er trying to find precedent for when i apply to sue.

i'll pick up my turbo and report from GCG on monday or tuesday.

ive got 2 law classes on monday night so ill be asking both of my lecturers for a push in the right direction.

and just a bit more information for everyone:

i ended up blocking off my bov return pipe and made the breather hose vent through an atmo catch can and i was still getting oil through my cooler piping. i'll be getting my mechanic to write me a report also.

another issue is that i paid Aaron Peters the entire sum (as requested in all of his threads at the time) into his personal account with the description as hiflow turbo. i've got all records of him asking for me to deposit the money for the turbo into this account too.

is that good enough for a receipt? should i contact the ATO to back up my claims in court about the dodgy way of evading tax (to strengthen my case in court)?

i'd be pissed off too. when you look at it realistically, you dont buy a slide oil cooled bush bearing turbo for it to cost you the equivalent of a HKS turbo in repairs, shipping, labour, and the general stuff around.

seems to me you got shafted here. not taking sides. in fact i hate joe ;)

have you asked for a full refund?

i have, but your mum wont give me my money back either :thumbsup:

but yeah, i have. my problem is that the refund is coming from murnane motors, not slide. and with the turbo now in pieces my warranty is void as slide has told me.

another thing - i bought the turbo before aaron lost his workshop. all warranty work wasnt sent through murnane then, it was sent to him. i didnt get a warranty document stating what the terms and conditions were.

and they werent in his trader section either.

this thread has run it's course mate. you have chosen to commence legal action. so I don't really see any productive advise coming out of this thread. more of peoples opinions, and taking legal advice from an internet forum is not a very good idea. then you may have to sue a poster for giving you bad advice. don't want that. then Slide may sue us for allowing this thread to continue. don't want that either. I would suggest that since you are about to commence legal proceedings against Slide that it is a bad idea to be airing all your business on a public forum. He's offered you a solution, you have said that to you it's not satisfactory so do whatever you think is right, but there is no need to drag it up here.

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
