i did think in advance when i arranged it cause i said to him ill call friday afternoon to let u know if my parts arrived or not

so u know if im still going to come on monday and that was fine. but thats not the point the point was i had no way of knowing

what was going on cause they dont reply to messages often and auspost was a shit fight and sliding has no number to ring them on

which is a real pain in the ass.

so you arranged to call him friday afternoon, but didnt have his number... and then before friday decided to post this bullsh1t thread in the wrong section before you even checked your mail from the day it was supposed to arrive

hopefully you bought those injectors for wank factor because with this kind of intellegence ill be supprised if you don't kill yourself with a decent powered rb25

Never rely on a supplier no matter what they promise rule f**king 101!

If your tight for time then allow an estimated delay. Slide were way off on the eta of delivery to me i was in the same boat but i allowed a few days error on there behalf and it worked out fine. I did start to panic though.

sorry for any inconvenience to sliding performance

A bit late for that.

Late or not, this thread is just wrong and quite frankly I'm f**kin appalled that moderators haven't closed this down considering it has just become a Slide bash fest and also considering he is a trader on here.

Ok, here is what you do.

Go to the calendar. Look at what day it is.

IT'S THURSDAY, CLOWN!

And as for Auspost, I've sent shit to Cairns before and it hasn't arrived for two weeks. Besides, I thought I read in your other panic thread that they sent the via Fast track or whatever. Not Auspost.

Yep....

And my parts got here fine :)

oh and I agree...

Thread should be closed and moved to the BIN!!!!!!!!!

Yeah well if slide didn't f**k people around so much this thread wouldn't be here :)

So how did Slide f**k this guy around?

He paid on Friday which meant it wouldn't have cleared in their account til at least Monday, parts were sent Tuesday and arrived interstate on Thursday.

Sounds pretty good to me.

I understand there are unhappy customers but it's no excuse to take out the trash.

Yeah well if slide didn't f**k people around so much this thread wouldn't be here :thumbsup:

as posted by Elite Racing care to explain how slide f**ked around with this guy???

i bought a clutch from slide money transferred Thursday, cash was cleared Monday goods arrived Thursday. couldn't be happier of the service.

posting a thread about "my parts have not arrived yet so im gonna have a cry to the world" just cause either you havent heard from the seller or the estimated time was longer then you were told will not solve the problem. if your not happy with a sellers service have a chat to a mod as im pretty sure they will be able to help you out better then just having a fat cry on the forums in the WRONG SECTION.

lack of comunication ide have to say. and as i stated he gave me a item number for auspost and auspost didnt have it in there system which made me think wtf is going on here.

but neways im over it i will never buy from a place that has no telephone number again and a place i cant go down the road and say whats going on.

its just to much of a worry. just delete this post "yes" its turned into a slide bash fest but many people have had problems with there items and are just stating

what has happened to them in the past. hopefully slide reads this is realises they need more communication with the customers as many ppl have said they

pm and no replies untill days - weeks later.

This right here, is a ridiculous thread.

Let me clarify up front, I have never purchased from Slide, so I am in no way biased, but seriously, your order hasn't arrived within a mere 48 hours after it is supposedly sent and you immediately believe you have been ripped off and create this thread to cry wolf? Give them a break and wake up to reality. I personally demand a high standard of service with the businesses I deal with however at the same time I understand that they ARE a business, fielding in some cases huge numbers of enquiries daily and despite best efforts its often just not possible to get back to everyone as quickly as they would like.

Had it been 2 weeks with no response and no parts, perhaps I could have understood you being so concerned, but after 2 days, you have not only jumped the gun, but you have made yourself out to look like the fool after your parts arrived on time, and yet you leave behind a thread sledging Sliding Performance, hardly fair.

Furthermore, as others have said, Australia Post are worthless at the best of times and just because they have not entered a registered post item number into their system within a reasonable time, that in no way reflects on Slide. Hell I order parts for my cars from Japan every other week and I could bitch the same way about EMS, I have tried to track EMS parcels and had them arrive on my doorstep before the tracking information has even appeared in the system.

Bottom line, be patient and next time, approach such a situation in a more appropriate way.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
