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.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
