car is now at boostworx getting touch up tune.. oh who ever did your tune didnt put a nistune in it.. so thats another $600..

wtf... i asked for a nistune so they just burnt a chip and installed it.. WTF...

anyway i can hit the first tuner for some compensation due to not doing what i asked and still slugging me $550?

Absolutely! Where did you go for this? PM me all the details pls

I went direct to pete at PLMS, he installed it and sold me a licence as well as did a quick tune, all for $500 - still needs a proper dynotune but that'll come later.

If all they did was burn a chip, I'd be majorly pissed.... esp for that amount of money

-D

ok so i have called the tuner AGAIA, and now he says that he didnt think i wanted to get the car tuned anywhere else but with him hence why he didnt put the nistune in..

is there more than one nistune? coz i asked for a nistune..

i didnt think there was more than one nistune..

any ideas what i can do..?

he is pretty much not doin ne thing to help except tell me i should have gone back to him..

the idea is that on occasions like this when i need a tune ASAP and the closest place is boost works then i go there...

If you asked black and white for a nistune board, then he has to provide man,

as far as forcing him to pay out etc I don't know, its harsh but sometimes easier to deal with the loss, spread the bad word amoungst everyone and move on.

Hope you get some coin out of this bastard though Age!

oh im furious..

he says now that he didnt understand i wanted a nistune to be installed..

like how may nistunes are there? i caled a few workshops and asked

"if i want a nistune and remap what would i get?"

they said "u would get a board installed into your ecu and a image put on to that(remap)"

dont think its too hard eh?

I completely agree with you man,

Just ring the tuner up and be completely up front with him, say you want a refund to recouperate 'some' of the funds and see what he says. Be firm about it don't let him talk you out of it. Scare him with the power of 'Word of mouth' :P

Being the import scene, few bad stories going round of this particular 'tuner' and he will loose alot of his income that'll hurt him more.

I doubt hed give a refund, but as a gesture of good will it would be acceptable for the tuner to finally fit a nistune board (if it hasnt already been done at bw)

Otherwise then I suppose a refund of $240 for a board that was never installed would be appropriate

-D

As i said to Adrian on MSN i don't think he quoted for the board, a board + install + tune would be around the $7-800 mark. So what he paid for he got but there was a communication breakdown some where. If he paid $7-800 then he should get some money back.

Thats what I meant,

The idea of Adrian getting a full refund is not likely.

    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed
