yeh all depends on which store you go to. what store in melbourne do you go to?

I go to the one near Monash U and sometimes Box Hill if parts aren't available at the Monash one. Of course I don't expect amazing services, the Sydney branch in Auburn though had no one behind the counter! Sometimes I feel some shops function like ebay operators.

ebay for me - china is so cheap

Ebay is a risk, especially if you're getting parts en-route from China as they quite often don't double check their stuff. I have heard of many stories of poor workmanship and DOA items like spoilt carbon wings, speakers with no cables, screen protectors that actually scratches etc. Also if anyone is jumping on the Android tablet wagon I'd steer clear of those for another year. DOA items will have to shipped back AT YOUR OWN EXPENSES.

My advice on e-bay is to stick to sellers that has a good reputation rating (at least 99.5%) and have sold many of the same items (with feedbacks). I have received unsatisfactory items from sellers but I have also received 100% refund on all of them, they didn't even want the items back! That's China shopping for you!

    • I'm running a Haltech Platinum Pro with the stock map for the RB20DET + tweaks for my build. When I started it this morning, the IAT was at 32F/0C (Outside temp was ~42F) and the AFRs went off the scale for my AEM gauge. I let it run for ~30 seconds then turned it off. I then did a smoke test, by hooking into a vacuum line directly behind the throttle body, and confirmed there was no leaks ( i let the smoke tester run for ~5 minutes / confirmed it was generating smoke before hand ). I then started the car again, after fixing a power steering leak.... and it seemed to be happy for ~30 seconds (was at ~11/12), but then seemingly shot back up to ~18 again. I then let the car run for a few minutes, thinking this was just cold start related, but the AFRs never came back down. I didn't let the car fully warm up, so maybe this makes sense, but I'm not sure what to do? The AFRs, when I last ran it, were normal, but because of personal reasons I haven't been able to break in the car. It was rebuilt last year.

    • Not great at getting the camera out fast enough for cars driving. Even in traffic. S15 is in front of the kei truck.
