Hey Nathan, your better off trying to talk to James and not Paul.

i got all your messages forwarded to me and your reply etc if you truly want to pull out now than James is the one to speak to but i'm not too sure how the return of money will go

As stated in my email, StS is the distributor and ACPT is the supplier. The group buy was organised through StS so they are therefore responsible for issues with their supplier. In other words, don't offer parts for sale that you can't get from your supplier. I have no issue with StS and this is obviously not "normal" practice for ACPT, it is just unfortunate for Paul that he is caught in the middle. And any communication with James is clearly having no effect.

Either way the matter has been referred to the Department of Fair Trading so they can decide what action to take if any.

I'll suggest it to him today. but i know what your getting at, it shouldnt be our problem to be chasing these things up.

I have already sent out Marc Palmer shaft and Nathan Wilson and keith

Sinclair are the only 2 that did not receive there drivesahfts correct? I

have no more shafts here and everything was shipped out. I have started to

remake these shafts for the 2 people you have on here and I am pushing them

to get out ASAP. If you need anything from me, feel free contact me.

did he give you a tracking number Keith?

Nope...claims that Fedex have lost the shafts. You just don't lose boxes that big like that. I cant believe that Fedex would stay in business very long losing packages. Having said that I bought some Snowboard gear through priceusa a couple of weeks ago and the proprietor told me that the ups tracking number was relatively pointless as they enter it wrong...it has a bar code so how does that happen? The snowboard gear has turned up on time though...so go figure. :D

Same explanation I got from James today and he quoted my home address not the workshop address. There is more to this than meets the eye friends :)

When/if it gets here that will work out well as the centre bearing feels likes its going so it will save me replacing it

So of the lucky guys who have reviced their shafts... anyone fitted one up yet?

Anyone care to confirm what parts received? It appears we might have to make up a 5mm spacer...

Any other R32 guys have one in the car? Care to confirm how it went and what parts you have? (Just checking I arent missing something)

Michael

ok thanks

thats exactly what Mark is doing for me, making up a new spacer. :)

I wasnt sure If I was missing something out of my kit or if they ship them like this. You'd expect them to trial their product properly...

There is no way it should be designed to just shit on that lip and not go all the way home!

cheers

It's already done and on your car. I had a look at it today. :D

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
