I am so angry at them right now!!

Lucky there not in Melbourne otherwise id be there everyday knocking on their door!!

I dont understand how people run businesses when their so lazy and slack!

They NEVER answer their phones!

Only write back to your emails if your inquiring on a product to buy, other words give them more money!

They dnt EVER return my phone messages, so I dnt no why they have an answering machine!!!

And, when they do finally call after trying to reach them for a week, they call to say 'your parts are delayed again, expect another 2 weeks'....well i dnt wana wait another 2 weeks, iv already waited over 2 months!!!!!!!!

..which by the way, of corse it dosnt arrive when they say it will, so im waiting again!

I am so sick of calling them and emailing them! Has anyone else had problems with them? Coz i cant honestly cant belive it

Im never buying anything from them again, their prices are so expensive (whcih i didnt mind coz i was willing to pay for what I wanted) and then on top of that they screw ya over!! Im beggining to accept that maybe ill never get my parts!

..and thats my rant 4 the day!! :P:woot:

Yes I agree with you, I have had some bad experiences with them in the past and I never went back.

So thats one customer gone, which to them is a loss because I have bought so much off them for my old car last year.

I am so angry at them right now!! Im beggining to accept that maybe ill never get my parts!

Well dont be suprised if you dont. I bought an East Bear Carbon fibre bonnet for my R34 last year, and i never recieved it!

I no longer have the car anymore and the bonnet still hasnt arrived. I had no choice but to give up coz they never returned my calls or picked up their phones.

Your story sounds like mine, Good luck, hope you get your parts but I wouldnt be counting on it..

woah.. i had pretty quick turn around for some small items i was after last month. And from my experience they were polite and very quick to ship.

But not receiving a bonnet that was paid for last year? That's horrible!

Yeah we had a case of this not long back. Went to the guys house, knocked on the door and he wouldn't even wake up and simply give us the items and go back to sleep. Mind you it was 3pm-4pm on a weekday and we had traveled an hour or more to get there.

On another note... aren't you supposed to NOT mention names of shops/people etc...

my experience with them was great. i bought a second hand r34 bonnet off them, i payed the money up front which cost me just over 300 bucks including postage and i got it in about a week in perfect condition. I was very happy.

sorry to hear about your problems.

I thought they had a very good reputation?

I have seen there website anf the Skylines they got for sale and they seem to be in very good condition. To me they might be a bit pricey, but looks like you paid for what you get...

Yeah just to point the fact out that you can't mention the business name when you slander them.. but too late lol

how ever.. if such a business (with ABN) doesn't supply parts when agreed.. ask for a refund.. if you havent got the parts a refund is a must.. if they deny and you still dont get the parts then report the business to the Office of Fair Trading.. fairly simple and they will look into it.. and if there are multiple customers that are getting trouble then anyone can check the rep of a business (as long as complaints are put in)

Ok guys, thats enough.

Thread closed.

IMO Powerplay have always been a good business, and as for returning the calls, i have always been called back after leaving a message :geek:

Anyone starts another thread like this/about them etc expect a weeks holiday and a reminder to read the forum rules

      Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
