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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
