One month ago my brand new cracked 2835 Pro S arrived in japan for a warranty inpection.

One month later no word from Greenline and HKS. I cannot get in contact with Greenline to get a response.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!! What could HKS be doing with my turbo for a month? Are they still in business? I just want my turbo back.

end of rant.

HKS wont be of any help. they will just direct you to the retailer as they should. I'm not sure you'll even be covered by warranty as the goods were for use overseas. sadly it's the risk you take. if you want full warranty the way to get it is to buy from a local licenced distributor.

hopefully they will accept it's a manufacturing fault and will replace it. but my advice is be prepared for the worst, and in the meantime try and get ahold of greenline.

I'm over the warranty, don't care anymore. I just want to know whats happening. Greenline said they deliverd the turbo to HKS 5 weeks ago. Not a mention since. 5 weeks of silence is pretty pathetic customer service.

I recommend you buy locally if you want good, quick after sales support. You got the gear cheap buying direct from jp, were unlucky in that it wasn't right, and now the risk is costing you :D sucks but that's the way you went.

if you reckon greenline/hks suck, try returning something to a chinese factory lol.

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
