hey guys as you know i had a crap slide hiflow that chat itself under light load.

And as i was expecting.... not under warranty!!

just thought id let ya guys know incase somthing happens to your slide hiflow .

"something went through the turbo"

man that makes me laugh :laughing-smiley-014:

oh well onto bigger and much better things :P

cheers

nothing wrong with bush bearing Tony.. its just that the person/company that did yours might of done not the best of jobs?

but as you said move on to bigger and better things

best of luck

yea exactly

And thanks

nuthin went through it. i can assure you. how can something go through when everything was tight, in tact, and perfectly meshed afm .

I shouldnt have sent it to THEIR workshop for warranty. A new company took over called murnane. As if their going to warranty sheldons shit hiflows... well... "aarons"

Be careful guys... be very careful if yours goes pop on you

not trying to bag Aaron but i had a very hard time getting my turbo from him and after i asked for a refund that took 2 months, if your going a new turbo i would suggest Kyle from 6Boost top block and very quick delivery, cheaper and supports customers.

A bit of topic but my 2 cents

Edited by axe s

So how did they determine that something definately went through the turbo?

Can they conclusively document and prove that that was the cause of the turbo failure?

I wouldn't be letting ~$900 get away from me without concrete proof of the reason given

Oh and taken from security's thread, if you hadn't sent it back to their workshop and sent it somewhere else then it would have voided the warranty anyway....according to them

Seek a lawyer for yourself and go through small claims. You'll be presently suprised that it won't be that expensive. It will work out less than what you paid for your turbo.

Let a court decide based on THE LAW, instead of letting him decide on whatever arbitrary reason he BELIEVES is the law.

I think that its too easy to just say, oh, something went through the turbo. But in reality, r33god was using an air filter. there's nothing that went through it.

Essentially, by not upholding his warranty, slide is just opening himself up to legal action (the ACCC may back you up with costs as well so it may not cost you anything), not to mention ruining the name of his business.

Geez, sounds like a pretty shit situation...

Good luck if it does end up in small claims mate.

Doesnt sound like youll need it though with the obvious evidence (in tact air filter and AFM mesh) on your side

mate i feel for your situation, but i think starting a thread like this is going to do nothing to help you

aaron has every right to deal with customer complaints through PM, hell if it were me i wouldn't want my name being dragged through the mud

every company has their issues, but airing it on a public forum is not the right thing to do, on top of the fact that it's against forum rules.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
