Did he reply back to you, i have been trying to get a response from him since last week, through here and through eBay. I would like to purchase it through here but i do need one soon.

I dont care i would order one through ebay if i really had to but if he cant reply to my messages, how is he gonna send the item if i hit "Buy It Now".

I would like a reply just for acknowledgement at least.

I havent received a 'confirmation' response yet.

I made the transaction on the 5th April, so its only been 4 working days i suppose.....hoping it arrives this week.....

Hey guys,

Im a bit 'up in the air' with this at the moment, should I or shouldnt I

well, i posted this question on another forum, I just want to see what you guys think of this.

http://antilag.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8579

what are peoples thoughts?

turbosmart are a business, they want to make money people who know what they want, and make more off people who dont know what they need. u dont need a fuel cut defender unless ur getting fuel cut (sounds obvious doesnt it), it doesnt need to be a precationary thing.

but if ur getting to the point where ur getting fuel cut, then u want to look at interceptors or other upgrades.

but thats a seperate issue - if u want to go from stock boost to 10-11 psi, then get one of these.

no, jrdsports is the seller on ebay whos copied marks boost controller and selling them himself.

having said that, ive ordered one via him to test out the communication/how quick its sent. he got money thurs, i received it on the next tues, so not too bad. replied to query about when it was sent within 24 hrs.

unfortunately the original maker (mark/turbotech) has very bad service - while its good he came up with the controller, he simply is not the best option for purchasing them anymore (assuming jrd one is as good, ive yet to try). as evidenced by last few pages in this thread, many people are waiting for theirs to be delivered (eventually they are, but not too quickly), he seems to never reply to emails either.

is this guys SAU user name "jrdsports"

if so...

how are you guys getting in contact with him on SAU?

No he is not the user , i think its simark87, his customer service is starting to upset a few people.

that is the reason why i bought my jrd boost controller off jrdsports, because mark was not repling to my emails and jrdsports replied within 10 mins of me sending it to him.

got my boost controller off jrdsports within 2 days of payment and the thing is the best performance investment i have made to date. so if your not getting anywhere with mark try these guy's , http://cgi.ebay.com.au/JRD-Boost-Controlle...1QQcmdZViewItem and you should get good service

there u go, two replies within a minute of each other which basically say the same thing - mark's customer service has become non-existant, whereas thus far jrdsports has been good, and if the product is as good, then to save hassles just buy it through him (via ebay - http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZjrdsport)

oh well i thought jrd was the guy that this thread was all about...back in the day when they were $22...

i emailed him, and he said he'd do it for $35 delivered , just buy it through ebay and mention that i was quoted $35 and that was it...

the original guy, whats his name on ebay?

this is the other one on ebay: http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZsimark87QQhtZ-1

ask the jrdsports if he'd supply them to SAU members for $35 delivered? and if so how we should go about ordering? he hasnt sold a truckload on ebay as yet, so he might get a lot more interested if he gets all the SAU guys who are tired of waiting :mellow:

well at first i thought he was the orignal seller this thread was about (as i didnt know there was 2 sellers) so i searched and he is a member on SAU as jrdsports, so i emailed him through the ebay auction page, asking what price he was doing for us SAU members...he said $35 delivered, which seems to be a $5 saving.

but now im not sure, as everyone in this thread is raving about simark's controller, and no one really seems to have used jrdsports yet....in theory they should be the same...but thats in theory. lol

I've got one of marks controllers and couldn't be happier, and in december at least he was answering his emails (usually within a day or so). The first one he sent out never arrived so he sent a second one that turned up the next day, meanwhile at the same time the first one was returned to sender back to him. So i never had any problems really.

But yeah, if he's not keeping in touch with customers then i guess you've got no option :

NOTICE TO SAU PEOPLES

I have received an email from Mark and he has assured me that my controller should be at my doorstep today. He even provided me with the tracking number.

The reason he has not been able to respond to peoples query emails or on this forum is that he is a VERY busy person as he works a full time job and is pretty busy meeting EVERYONES needs.

From his email:

"I work full time and spend a vast amount of time making these controllers, organising post and I receive more emails than I can possibly answer right away"

But rest assured your boost controller WILL arrive :(

Thankyou Mark

yeh he replied to me yestureday too, and this morning, just a hickup with ref number. hope he sorts it out

also got a reply yesterday within a few hours, and would've had my controller today if i wasnt at work last night when he replied....so due to good friday, i guess ill have it on tuesday or something

Do remember offering a product such as this he will receive a lot of emails from time wasters and also people who do not know how to fit the controller to their particular car. All of which spam the crap out of his inbox. :D

I would hate to see his inbox should he not check his email for a couple of days. :

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
