On another note, I ordered a GTR First Aid Kit from Matt Porritt before I knew he had anything to do with this AVC-R BULLSH1T... Had I known, I wouldn't have sent him one CENT of my money.

But alas, I didn't know, and I ordered a "GTR First Aid Kit", from their surplus that they had left from the last order they ran. So they had it in stock. YES, THEY HAD IT IN STOCK.

I ordered AND PAID for it it 3 weeks ago... A week went by... NOTHING. TWO weeks went by, NOTHING.... So I sent Matt an email asking what happened to it. Sure enough, they hadn't sent it yet. He promised me that it would be sent later on that week with other things that needed to be sent. ****ed if I know why they can't send things everyday. Anyway, I said fine, and continued to wait.

ANOTHER BLOODY WEEK GOES BY, and still no First Aid Kit. So I sent Matt another email enquiring about it... Apparently if they don't like someone, they'll take your money and refuse to send you the goods.

this whole concept of group buys seems flawed to me, if you want something go buy it yourself, dont trust your money to anyone else, especially someone you dont know, havent met, or will never meet (and by the looks of it, someone who couldnt organise a root in a brothel).

very true but there are ppl like BY BY and Boostmeister who i'd trust without meeting them. i guess ask around to see if the organisor is reliable is a safe bet.

You'd trust BY BY without meeting him?????

George, I know him & I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him......j/k. BY BY has been a great help to me on many an occasion.

In all seriousness, good point George, you should really get a feel for the person organising it before u send money. PM people & ask if they trust them.......

The simple fact that I have better things to do with my time that to put up with your 'demands'

I quote your reply to me offering you a refund

I want the GTR First Aid Kit, not a refund. But if I don't see the First Aid Kit soon, I shall have no other choice but to request one.

I have NEVER refused to send you anything, I gave you a refund as YOU requested in your next email 17 mins later.

Your petty problems with Razor have no place here interfering in a thread about AVCRs of which you have no financial concern.

You seem awfully ready to hide behind a keyboard, but form all accounts, seem to be lacking the balls to put your money where your mouth is.

I also know that a definate resolve was offered by SadisticRage to sort this, in which 1 person participating in this post has taken the oppertunity to do, after prompted to do so by myself.

It also seems a little odd that some of those who have been offered a refund don't want it right now. they'd prefer to wait for the resolve, though as you may not know, those involved may see things differently to guys like yourself Andrew that think they are on a moral crusade.

My number is +64 21 236 4739 if you wish to actually discuss this instead of throwing your 2c (if its worth that) in all the time.

Putting up with customer's "demands" is your ****ing job. What's so inordinate about a customer demanding the goods he paid for 3 weeks prior? :talk2hand:

If you think that is too much to ask, I think you should find another line of work, such as garbage disposal. Rotten cat food won't demand much of you at all.

HAHAHAHA... You don't know me at all. I am MORE than willing to take this up in person if you feel the need. Calling me a keyboard warrior :type: is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. :lol: :lol: :lol:

In any case, what the hell are you going on about me not putting my money where my mouth is? You expect me to purchase an AVC-R off you? What the ****? Are you crazy? HAHAHAHAHA...

Just stop it, before you make yourself seem like even more of a chump.

I will purchase my First Aid Kit directly from Ray (Sadistic Rage) thank you very much. He seems like a decent and honest bloke, not blaming others for their own failures... I hear he's terminated his business ties with you because of your amatureish demeanour...

"As I indicated in my earlier email, my relationship with Matt as a supplier will be terminated. I simply cannot afford to outlay tens of thousands of dollars importing parts in order to see them sold and distributed in such an amateurish way." :tomato:

Nice work. If you want to talk to me, you can call me. I'm not ringing New Zealand to talk to a loser. :looney: PM me for my number.

Andrew. :uh-huh:

George and Cereal_Jacques thats for the support.

Im not going to delve into this hot topic but there are several like Boostmeister and Myself who are being affected by the whole "Group buys are dodgy" theory.

PS: My group buy is NOT requested money up front, all products will be paid for ONLY when customers have them and are happy

yap, after being a phone call away from this and speaking to a lawyer we got our refunds back this week.

We had 4 PowerFC's @ $1.6K and 1 AVCR @ $800.

I've learnt a lesson.

Got my refund back today, less bank fees at long last.

This has left a sour taste in my mouth.

There is no way that these guys are professional at all. It appeared to be one lie after another. Or at least one bungle after another. Either way, this could have been handled in a much a lot better.

    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
