Grrrr what is it with people on the forums selling stuff with comments like 'its the complete kit' and 'everything is there' ... you shell out your hard-earned, it arrives - and find out it isn't all there ....

... and when you explain how it isn't there, show pics of what you recieved, against what you should have they say 'well I got it off a mate - I never used it - he said it was all there - I can't offer you a refund'.

Uhhh wut? How is his not knowing what he has suddenly my problem? He represented a product as something it wasn't which is a clear breach of the Fair Trading act. I really hope I don't have to take this to small claims to get my money back. The item clearly wasn't as described, so I've easily got a case, but ugh - so much trouble - especially interstate.

What a frustrating and expensive experience :rofl:

Nope, you should be fine. There should be a grub screw on the relocator that you can tap into for the sender unit

Does using a lawyer to dispute a fine to keep your license count?

Because I used Michael Woods lawyers. They specialize in traffic law/getting your license back. Pricey, but they got me through.

I'll give them a call,

Can you PM me with what you went through and rough price on what the whole thing ended up costing you?

i got nfi what I'm up for LOL. 2 weeks into no license, 50 weeks to go - its doing my head in!

what a jip.

bought $1800 worth (incl. shipping fee) of goods, sent on pallet via boat from a japanese port to adelaide

had to pay all up an extra $1100 to get the goods released.

what a jip. so many fees and charges to receive a shipment Id paid for.

on that note - DO NOT buy a roll cage overseas.

unless they cut the main bar, you need to ship it.

but because I had the cage, i added mags, cams, more parts

to make it worth my while. but fees from the docks is outrageous. they hold you to ransom.

if in didnt pay the release fee they'd hold the goods (storage fees) then dispose of and still bill me.

Is your sandwich plate billet or cast? you need the thick billet ones to fit a pressure sender unit.

Surely he could tap into any oil line with a t piece and then run a gauge off that? Pascals law says "pressure exerted anywhere in a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid."

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
