I told him about accc and strongly insisted on a refund and all he replied was, I can only offer an exchange under warranty. This complied with consumer law in Australia.

So I guess I'm stuck. Maybe I'll just get a new set of 6 and try sell them and buy splitfires. Such a stuff around. Guys a jerk

So 6 new ones? Cos way too hard to find problem Coil.

I think I'll just get accc involved. It's such a waste of time getting a new set if they're weak pieces of shit anyway that can't even handle 18psi. No spark blow out at high boost my arse that's false advertisement. So much for satisfaction guaranteed. More like hassle and wasting time and money guaranteed, he can stick the set of coils up his arse

Just let PayPal deal with it mate. In fact all of your communication with the seller so far should have been through PayPal.

If after mediating through PayPal, he still only wants to send a replacement set, swap them over and if that set also misfires I'm sure PayPal will demand a refund as they're clearly not performing as advertised.

Add *cough* Super *cough* S *cough* park

Just as shit too, pulled a set out on a car before and I threw it into the bin for some OEM coils

An Ombudsman/ACCC reference number can make a big difference to their attitude. I was having some issues and got to this point, the moment i gave him a case number I got everything i wanted. The beauty was they still get investigated by ACCC =)

You do need to make reasonable effort to find a solution, so i would suggest trying to identify the faulty ones (likely all 6!) and let him replace them all, then when they are still faulty you have full right to demand refund. The law state they can offer 'Repair, Replacement or Refund' but you don't get to chose which, they do. So you do need to go through the long painful process.

Phone the Ombudsman/ACCC and have a chat, they will advise what you should do.

I've made a complaint with accc and also maybe a dispute on PayPal and on the end of the comments I copied and pasted the accc complaint number lol.i bet this jerk will get away with it. I bet all the perfect please saying yellow jackets are good are running closer to stock boost. They'll be nice for a rude awakening when they want more power and notice they also gained alot of misfire with they upped boost lol

Spoke about this with my lawyer partner, and her response was there is only a legal footing if the product doesnt do what it specifically says it will do, because the advertisement is very vague and non-specific the product, doesnt have to do very much more than the stock part, with the engine operating at factory specs.

So probably no accc case, as it would be buyer beware unless the seller gave the advice that the product would perform to your specific requirements.

Sell them and get a more reputable part, perhaps dont waste your time... Seller sounds aware of theyre position

I'd love to get them but I'm broke atm lol well I don't know if he will want to replace them now since I threatened him with accc :/ he hasn't replied since lol

I find they're ok on the dyno whilst I'm tuning, great for street use.. as soon as I hit the track and do a few laps.. bamm misfire city!

But at 0.5mm it's tits.. no misfires at all!!!

yup, ditch the yellow junkets and fit a set of BCPR7eix gapped to 0.55mm and there will be no missfires.

the guy has a ACCC case pending if someone is keen... the website and packaging claim power and economy increases that are just not there... with no disclaimers.

even increased combustion... its clearly stated it offers these increases yet doesn't deliver... 100% has to refund.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
