Ummm, why did the other thread get deleted?

Anyhow just after a reply to my Email I have sent to sliding as to when my 3.5k worth of parts will be arriving? And before you say it, yes I do realise Aaron is sick - not good :cheers: However it wouldnt be hard for one of the other guys to reply to my PM's and Emails. Its been near on 8 weeks now. I would have thought posting a delivery date up on here would have been easier than ignoring everyones msgs but what would I know, I'm just a repeat customer......

I still think they shouldnt be allowed to trade until PM's are replied to however, just to allow them to catch up... Not only have I paid for parts, I have paid for a service, which I'm not getting (along with many others).

For the record, Sliding arnt the only ones and the other companies dont have the excuse of sick employees.... I think forum operators need to start cracking down on traders, there is a lot of dodgy buggers out there, mind you thats mainly on ns.com.

We will see how long this post lasts till the moderators delete it instead of doing something about the original problem....

Cheers Dan.

I know how you feel mate, id appreciate a phone call at the least to let me know what is going to happen with my turbo.... been a week now since i was promised a call...

Time will tell i guess and frustration shall increase...

I received my coil packs after a little over two weeks... paid at start of week an was told should have them by end of the week, but atleast they arrived in the end :D

in saying that though I ordered $1600 worth of parts from greenline some of which weren't in stock and received them in 12 days... very good service and turn around from an overseas supplier... :)

Yeah ive never had a problem with slide before(have spent around 4.5k in 3 months) but this is bullshit. Sadly no one on the SAU admin team is prepared to offer any help in resolving the situation. As if ya would when ya can just hit the delete button.....

I know I'm not the only one waiting for parts, I just think that everyone else CBF trying to get an answer, cause lets face it, the reply from the admin a few posts above says it all "slide pay us $$ so as if we will piss them off"....

At the end of the day, I still after all this time cant work out why admin cant ring Jason and get an email sent our way :S Its really not that hard at all....... Or infact, i cant see why Slide cant simply reply to the email themselves....

Could anyone affected by the current situation please reply in this thread... Number speak a million works with the powers above....

i understand aron is sick and someone else is handling things. but personally i prob wpould not deal with this trader till the business was running as smooth as it used to . and yes i have brought from them b4 with no probs but the amount of people complaining about wait times at the moment i would shop elsewhere

Hi Dan

I thought i had everyone covered with orders catching up and for that i do apologise.

I will send you a PM right now in regards to the Garrett order and as always refunds on items that are delayed are always available guys.

This business has been alive for over 2 years and will continue to be in our eyes the biggest trading business on SAU.

If anyone has any orders outstanding that were made on the site or on SAU or NS.com please email me a few details on the order to [email protected] and i will sort the problem out as soon as humanly possible.

:P Thanks for the support guys.

PM's and emails replied guys.

I think everyone is covered now.

Just a reminder that there was a large delay on our Garrett delivery from the states and if anyone does not wish to wait for the delivery as advised you are most welcome to a refund which also includes regular parts aswell.

Most delays are unforeseen and unfortunate and we in no way hold anyone to a purchasing agreement if you do not wish to wait for the parts to become available PLEASE let us know and you will be refunded, It is that easy :(

We are not here to rip people off and the feedback says it all.

With an absolutely spotless 2 and a half years this little hurdle wont hold us back.

geez, give me break. Slide hardly contributes a massive amount of money to the forum so potential loss of sponsorship is not a reason at all to tip-toe around things and to be honest hadn't even crossed my mind.

These issues have been discussed with the other administrators of the forum, and if you thought about things a bit you would easily understand our position. we do not side with traders. nor do we side with members. we are not a legal judge. how do we know you are not making up your claims? we would look a tad foolish if we took sanctions on a trader because of unfounded accusations by a member. I would go as far to say we would be open for some nasty legal recourse if we did that.

so if you have a problem with a trader (business or even another member). then my advice to you is as follows:

*attempt to resolve it between the two parties

*use the trader rating system to leave negative feedback

*contact and administrator with your concerns

*use whatever legal means neccesary to resolve things

*advise forum administrators of any outcomes/judgements made

*do the smart thing and don't deal with that person anymore

We cannot judge a business trader to be bad based on a few posts in a thread. lack of comunication is bad service, but it's not criminal and the only person that damages is the business (well and the person waiting for their phone call/email/message). As far as I know here no-one has been ripped off, just people who are sick of waiting for overdue parts and even replies. yes that sucks but we cannot tell sliding performance how to conduct their business. We are a forum, not a successful business coach.

Any trader that we were informed had a legal judgement made against them, that invloved criminal, or dishonest behaviour of course we would review their rights on SAU immediately, but that is not the case here.

Richard: :(

We have nothing to hide from anyone.

Just an FYI for everyone.. it is a Japanese holiday (Obon Festival) at the moment which started on the 13/8 through until and including the 17/8/2007.

No email or PM received...
haha

Your covered mate, just have to speak with Aaron to see about picking them up from wherever he has them.

im not covered.... :(

waiting on prices for the cam gears and head gasket.

PM Sent :(

I remember that nengun thread, they did themselves damage buy not putting up a simple advert saying "we will be on hols between such and such, please take that in to consideration when ordering"

Same has happened in this instance from what i've read and experienced.

If things are in delay, the more people you tell the better.

Keep everyone informed i say.

It;s like being stuck on a Cityrail train 10 years ago not going anywhere, no announcements at all made you go batty

If you got a message (which they seem to now) saying that a tree killed the power and we're stuck for 2 hrs, at least you know and can make adjustments and deal with it.

Not knowing what's going on is THE WORST !

    • No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.
    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
