Surely, they can be easily tracked down thru the "Paper Trail" back from the Retailer! Bums!

Feel sympathy for GReddy

Feel sorry for an innocent purchaser that ends up with damage to his turbo etc

Don't feel sorry for the retailer who should know who he's dealing with in the 1st place.

And the Counterfeiters need to be put out of business and penalised. I probably only need a couple of guesses as to which country they come from.

There are lots of Ideas going around on where they come from, but who can crack down on them?

Greddy apparently,

If you suspect you have purchased, or know of a person selling, counterfeit GReddy products please contact us at [email protected] , so we pursue these criminals and there fraudulent parts.

If I was making them I would email them, thanking them for the advice on how I can improve my fraudulent product. There would be nothing they can do.

But that's just me...

it is extremely easy to do. buy a new bov, send it to a factory in china, get them to replicate it, tell them how cheap you want them to be and away you go. seems to be that they will change one of 2 little things to make it obvious to someone who looks closely enough to see that it is fake, but close enough to fool 99.9% of people. i know that with some stuff they will simply alter the spelling of the name. it happens with holley carbies. they just spell it holly on the fakes

i do sell the knock off ssqv's, but they're clearly labelled "monza" on them, and i tell people that they're a copy and not the real thing. its people who are too tight to pay for the real thing because wankers like nengun.com sell directly into australia and not pay any duty or gst, and shaft every retailer and people who has anything to do with the car industry. it's a load of crap. its why apexi and trust went into recievership. if anyone buys parts of e-bay and gets shafted by a copy, sucks to be you.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
