Yeah,

So i got my stag into the country, love it,and after a good wash and some turps and pepsol it was looking like new.

But to my amazement the 7" screen i saw in the pics was missing, and all that was left was a wiring loom and some velcro.

However after further looking on the car, i noticed there was a tv antenna, dvd player, usb extention , GPS processor, 6 stacker dvd/CD player and another wiring loom STILL in my car.

Checked under my seat to find the processor for the AVIC-D710 pioneer (Audio Visual Information -something or rather).

I mean, i know i got my own Aus version of this, but what the f**k is some prick warfy/auctioneer going to do with a 7" screen without the other 2,000 yens worth of gear still sitting in my f**king car..

makes me think that they have no idea and just see something shiny and easy to rip off and try to get a buck from it.

So even if i wanted to , i cant use the damn thing.

wankers..

apart from that yeah.. love my new car

Exactly the same thing happened to me, I dont get it. I think its just carelessness from the compliancers who have to remove them during the process, but either way its disgraceful. And there is nothing that can be done about it.

same thing. lost a pivot speed meter but still has all the wiring in the car, and an HKS turbo timer. Happens ALLLLLLLLL the time.... nothing to be done about it. only way around it is to pay your broker to have him get it pulled out and arranged to be sent via post, separate to your car. bit of money, but hey if it lets you keep the gear.... ive consoled myself by saying if i get an HKS timer and pivot speed meter, at least i wont have to wire the bastards up haha....

Same deal here, Turbo timer went walkies and they left the harness behind.

+1, Apexi pencil went, carefully unplugged - no damage, left black box & wiring so after replacing like for like I now have spare black box for future failure. Also some person took stereo head unit but all wiring, speakers etc in place still so I just got preferred head unit fitted by approved installers during compliance. Most likely woulda replaced (head unit) it anyway. Best thing you can hope for is no serious damage to panels, interior & like posted earlier if there is good stuff in car at auction get it removed & shipped by alternate means.

Cheers GW :)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
