Got Boost? Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) Hi All My Father owns a Pirtek Franchise which i do work for and i had the idea of starting a trader section on SAU as there doesn't seem to be anyone that offers member discounts on parts of that type. Basically what we are looking at is orders to be taken via phone / pm and parts to be professionally made up by the store (warranties and guarantees will be as normal) and shipped out to buyers. We will be looking at offering discounts on quantity as well as general discounts on the Speedflow fittings range and braided hosing etc. So anything to do with hoses will be available for manufacture. I'm sure most enthusiasts will be aware of the type of product available, the most popular stuff includes braided oil / water and fuel lines but like i said pretty much anything available. We are happy to answer any further questions you may have! Thanks! Edited April 10, 2008 by Got Boost?

R31Nismoid Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 There is info about becoming a trader here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Bu...ead-t10021.html Maybe direct your father to that area and then go from there perhaps? I would imagine there would lots of business for such a trader, so i'd just get to it personally Cheers Ash Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/214328-gauging-interest-new-trader-possibility-pirtek/#findComment-3785247 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got Boost? Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Well the decision has been made to run the poll for a day or two, if it looks positive we will be setting up a trader area by the end of next week hopefully! Will keep everyone informed and in the meantime keep those votes / comments coming!

tridentt150v Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Why does everyone want alloy [speedflow etc] fittings? I wanted stainless steel, but nobody makes them in 14mm, and I searched pretty much world wide via the www. If you could make stainless steel hoses AND fittings I'd buy a set tomorrow - everything s/s.

NYTSKY Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Would be a very good idea. But as most applications would be custom it might get hard to deal with some customer requests. But as for selling things like fittings and the like it would be a great idea. FYI: Your links in your sig are linked to the SAU homepage.

Devils_Advocate21 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I believe how much interest would you need for this to happen, 41 people voted yes? I recon if they start that would gain the best data for feasibility of the buisness trader aspect, plus the trader fee can always be written off on tax, so the money paid is technically not paid from a business perspective?

How could there ever be a Con to having a trader supply gear, that (AFIK) other traders don't? EDIT: Trident, why the need for SS fittings?

DECIM8 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I'd braid everything if the price is good.. I suppose it depends on cost really.. Any idea what sort of discount could be offered?

EDIT: Trident, why the need for SS fittings? s/s is forever, alloy fittings eventually corrode and fail even anodised - takes a while I'll admit, but it does happen. And it will always happen on the Hay plains or halfway to Nyngan etc never in town. And s/s its much harder to break if your doing/undoing stuff. Plus, I'll a big fan of anything s/s, even wedding rings.................lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/214328-gauging-interest-new-trader-possibility-pirtek/#findComment-3790981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTR Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 lol - A part of my brain tells me though "the weaker alloy is a good thing, as it make you more cautious when tourqing..." ... but I’m only lying to myself haha.

Equinox Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Nice idea. Could sell braided line kits for common conversions. eg. The two water lines and the oil line to connect an RB25 Turbo on an RB20. (I hate those stock lines.) And an S14/S15 turbo on an S13.

s13_Skyline_inside Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I reckon you'd get heaps of people wanted to buy from you, everyone needs to get some kind of fittings made up sometime when changing things Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/214328-gauging-interest-new-trader-possibility-pirtek/#findComment-3793315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Boost? Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi Guys! I know it was a long time i ago i posted this to gather interest, but i have finally made it a reality and gone out on my own to offer the parts / services i specified. It is no longer a part of Pirtek as it breaches some kind of rule to do with the franchising but i have now formed my own relationships with the suppliers and can offer the same thing i originally stated! I have created a business trader account and a basic thread so far with some of the product listing. Please contact the trader account for any info and pricing! I will have heaps of updates to come! Thanks. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pe...gs-t269810.html Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/214328-gauging-interest-new-trader-possibility-pirtek/#findComment-4592038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
