i did think in advance when i arranged it cause i said to him ill call friday afternoon to let u know if my parts arrived or not

so u know if im still going to come on monday and that was fine. but thats not the point the point was i had no way of knowing

what was going on cause they dont reply to messages often and auspost was a shit fight and sliding has no number to ring them on

which is a real pain in the ass.

so you arranged to call him friday afternoon, but didnt have his number... and then before friday decided to post this bullsh1t thread in the wrong section before you even checked your mail from the day it was supposed to arrive

hopefully you bought those injectors for wank factor because with this kind of intellegence ill be supprised if you don't kill yourself with a decent powered rb25

Never rely on a supplier no matter what they promise rule f**king 101!

If your tight for time then allow an estimated delay. Slide were way off on the eta of delivery to me i was in the same boat but i allowed a few days error on there behalf and it worked out fine. I did start to panic though.

sorry for any inconvenience to sliding performance

A bit late for that.

Late or not, this thread is just wrong and quite frankly I'm f**kin appalled that moderators haven't closed this down considering it has just become a Slide bash fest and also considering he is a trader on here.

Ok, here is what you do.

Go to the calendar. Look at what day it is.

IT'S THURSDAY, CLOWN!

And as for Auspost, I've sent shit to Cairns before and it hasn't arrived for two weeks. Besides, I thought I read in your other panic thread that they sent the via Fast track or whatever. Not Auspost.

Yep....

And my parts got here fine :)

oh and I agree...

Thread should be closed and moved to the BIN!!!!!!!!!

Yeah well if slide didn't f**k people around so much this thread wouldn't be here :)

So how did Slide f**k this guy around?

He paid on Friday which meant it wouldn't have cleared in their account til at least Monday, parts were sent Tuesday and arrived interstate on Thursday.

Sounds pretty good to me.

I understand there are unhappy customers but it's no excuse to take out the trash.

Yeah well if slide didn't f**k people around so much this thread wouldn't be here :thumbsup:

as posted by Elite Racing care to explain how slide f**ked around with this guy???

i bought a clutch from slide money transferred Thursday, cash was cleared Monday goods arrived Thursday. couldn't be happier of the service.

posting a thread about "my parts have not arrived yet so im gonna have a cry to the world" just cause either you havent heard from the seller or the estimated time was longer then you were told will not solve the problem. if your not happy with a sellers service have a chat to a mod as im pretty sure they will be able to help you out better then just having a fat cry on the forums in the WRONG SECTION.

lack of comunication ide have to say. and as i stated he gave me a item number for auspost and auspost didnt have it in there system which made me think wtf is going on here.

but neways im over it i will never buy from a place that has no telephone number again and a place i cant go down the road and say whats going on.

its just to much of a worry. just delete this post "yes" its turned into a slide bash fest but many people have had problems with there items and are just stating

what has happened to them in the past. hopefully slide reads this is realises they need more communication with the customers as many ppl have said they

pm and no replies untill days - weeks later.

This right here, is a ridiculous thread.

Let me clarify up front, I have never purchased from Slide, so I am in no way biased, but seriously, your order hasn't arrived within a mere 48 hours after it is supposedly sent and you immediately believe you have been ripped off and create this thread to cry wolf? Give them a break and wake up to reality. I personally demand a high standard of service with the businesses I deal with however at the same time I understand that they ARE a business, fielding in some cases huge numbers of enquiries daily and despite best efforts its often just not possible to get back to everyone as quickly as they would like.

Had it been 2 weeks with no response and no parts, perhaps I could have understood you being so concerned, but after 2 days, you have not only jumped the gun, but you have made yourself out to look like the fool after your parts arrived on time, and yet you leave behind a thread sledging Sliding Performance, hardly fair.

Furthermore, as others have said, Australia Post are worthless at the best of times and just because they have not entered a registered post item number into their system within a reasonable time, that in no way reflects on Slide. Hell I order parts for my cars from Japan every other week and I could bitch the same way about EMS, I have tried to track EMS parcels and had them arrive on my doorstep before the tracking information has even appeared in the system.

Bottom line, be patient and next time, approach such a situation in a more appropriate way.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
