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.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
