I just bought an rb26 flange of ebay thats been laser cut out to make my own exhaust up.

The thing isnt flat and the ports dont line up correctly. Yes it was done in australia.

Why cant people take pride in there work and check it out, close is not good enough people.

4 things guranteed in life

Death

Taxes

Work

Evil Cnts.

what was the price like though? was it cheap for what it is? if yes, then that explains it.

also was there any chance you had it upside down or back the front that may have caused things not to line up properly?

The price was 59 so its not cheap

But if you pay for something and its cheap does that mean they dont have to make it for the purpose ??

It will not go on back to front or upside down

Yes I have had it up against a stock flange its compared to the stock flange and gasket

Ok well I paid 59 for it and since its cheap it doesnt matter I have to throw it in the bin ??

Clearly its my fault I should have bought something more expensive.

If you bought a soccoer ball from ebay and it turned up square would you be happy because it was cheap

Awesome see even you guys are so used to having people supply you with shit stuff that your happy to accept it now.

Buy the items you need from a shop, if it doesnt fit, take it back and get one that does.

You see a shop owner will protect his/her rep on most occasions and you are supporting a local business which is good, as opposed to supporting a faceless profiteer from an auction website. So how much is your $59 flange worth to you now and how much was it to get one locally?

Ya dig?

have you though about modifying it to fit better?

or you could do the smart thing and instead of whinging about it on here, contact the seller and tell him you aren't happy with it, and it doesn't line up, etc, and either get a refund or a replacement for one that does what it's supposed to. send him pics.

this is the reason i don't buy much stuff over the net. i like to be able to look at it first so that if it is shit i don't buy it to start with.

Ive bought random stuff for my car from ebay and all though i havent had any major problems as .Yet everytime i get something it looks like its a factory reject ( you know people work there and things dont pass QC so someone has snuck it out of the bin and sold it) or something that fell of the back of a truck...

For this reason i always try to get things that are at least local so i can view before i buy, however that is easy being in melbourne..Not so easy for people that live in country towns and dont have that option..

I am usually of the opinion that often a quality product second hand is better than a cheap new one..

I got everything for my build second hand locally except for an exhaust gasket for 30$ off ebay...I still have my fingers crossed on that one...

Ebay is a gamble, just like online poker or pokies..

When you blow your cash gambling nobody cares..

What shits me is ebay is setup so you cant complain without a whole lot of hassle and thats what makes it easy for people to sell junk. I think this is the problem that needs to be solved

Yeah your right , you dont have much recourse on ebay which is bad. They will make you pay to ship it back which is not worth the effort

There are some good dealers on ebay , like lewis engines etc. I have got some great stuff off them. I expected this guy was the same , alas not so

Ok so I must be a whinger for getting something shit and talking about it here

Man what a pack of wankers you guys turned out to be

Yes yes, we all have good flanges, We are wankers arent we.

You weren't even in the conversation and you joined with that

I guess you left no doubt to your wanker status

well done

Why thank you, I'll remember that whilst I'm wanking over my perfectly good flange.

You purchased something off ebay, that was cheap.

There are plenty of laser cutters in each state that you can physically go down and talk too, ask them about quality, see their work.

I mean come on, "you asked why it was so hard to get good stuff", yet in the same post turns out you purchased it blindly off the internet.

Hell you don't even know if it was made here and the likelyhood it was, is slim. Its common sense.

People answered your issue and told you that you to spend money in most instances to get decent stuff

And then you get all emo about it? Odd

It's no different to buying a cheap materials/fittings for your house or something. Half the time they don't line up or they fail and you curse, takes time to fix and so on.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
