Does anyone know what is going on with powerplay imports. I ordered a HR31 vented bonnet nealy three month's ago and tried to call and check where it is. They haven't answered the phone or even return msg's. Does anyone know what is happening.

Tons of guys tell them that there is something wrong with their system; but they don't believe it!

Try Mob: 0418-472250

See if that works?

Yeh frustrating isn't it

Did you try that Mob # I gave you?

That seems to be the only way so long as you call after 10am. It's 10am because they can park at the front of the shop after the Clearway restrictions finish.

Tell me your luck is changing...

Sorry 6 to 8 weeks. Cant go there in person as i live in vic. I rang this week and no answer again. I dont get it when you have customers calling why can't they return phone calls.

Maybe you should get a reliable forum member who lives by or drive past it everyday to go in there for you !

yeah interesting , i think the turn around time maybe in years ? , i been waiting for my east bear carbon bonnet for now about 1 year and 3 months nearly , oh yes i paid in full as well , i have had much communication and excuses over the past year right up until last month when i was told they ordered the wrong bonnet by accident ,,hmm taken over a year to figure that out ,oh well. I'm also in Melbourne. So now "IF" i ever see this bonnet it will be going for sale as i already have a new bonnet from elsewhere.

cheers,

David

GDay David,

Unless the bonnet is still being manufactured under order, I'd ask Jo or Ali if one can swap the $$$ for something else...

You wouldn't be the first!

Yeah i know , its just trying to get through to them is the first hurdle, im actually quiet keen on the East bear side skirts in fact i know theyre cheaper than the bonnet i paid for ,im even keen to work out something on that even ,but then again if it aint in stock im not willing to wait another year, i can go to ja[pan and get it myself in that time turn around.

ill keep trying no doubt.

cheers,

David

I dont know how these guys are still in buisness if they treat thier customers like that. It seems that you are not the only one they have stuffed around. If i had paid for a product and had been waiting a year for delivery i would pretty much consider that they are trying to rip me off (long before a year went past) and would get a solicitor to draft a letter threatening legal action and have that sent to them (the cost would be fairly minimul and better than getting ripped or waiting as long as you already have). It is amazing how dodgy companys will quickly become quite helpfull in that situation. The excuses about ordering the wrong bonnet would not fly with me either as that is their problem not yours as they are meant to be a professional company and it is their service you are meant to be paying for even if the bonnet is a custom order it would not take anywhere near that long to be made. Good luck with it and hope it works out well for you.

Still no bonnet and no answer on the phone. Is anyone able to go to Powerplay and ask them where my bonnet is and when its going to show up. My number is 0408385119 and it was ordered under justin. I would just want my money back now. If someone can go there it would be great

Man are you serious ??? thats bull take them to court man .... sue them who knows you might end up with a r35 after all the hassle ... I Will never ever buy anything off them , not even a sticker...

I to have been ripped off by powerplay. I ordered a eastbear lip nearly 12 months ago, still no lip. They (Jo)Won't return my phone calls or any emails. I have been in contact with ASICS and I do beleive there is somthing going down with Powerplay with them, but they couldn't help me out about them ripping me off for 680 bucks.

Dont know how they can still get away with it.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
