I know everyone says ebay stuff is crap but this seems ok for the price, I just want to know if ebay stuff is as bad as people say because I have never bought stuff like that off ebay before and I don't really want to pay big $$ because its just a street car

thanks

with ebay its always a risk, but thats the cost of getting it cheaper.. You need to consider the add and its content, check out the seller, etc.

The item is listed as located in Aus, Often the cheap dodgy stuff comes from china and other random countries (though good stuff can also come from china, etc). He has a reasonable amount of feedback (5k) with over 99% positive which is good.

I would never buy a tv or computer or something like that from ebay, but stuff like this is not so bad (no moving parts or major mechanical risk (not gunna blow up your car if its crap)).

If you really are worried about getting the best quality, go and buy from a reputable store and pay top dollar, you get what you pay for =)

I have one of these, and the mark up locally is less then in Aus apparently too. $320 NZD for my one which is exactly the same;

It is not quiet so will want something else to take some noise away.

On my car with nothing but 3 inch downpipe, 3.5 inch decat, then that straight pipe with end cannon.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
