hey every one, just wandering if any one knows if power play imports are still operational, as i ordered a set of valve springs a month ago, havent heard from them since they got the money, wont respond to emails and their phone is dissconected

Not responding to my e-mails either

Yoou used to hear good things about this shop, I never dealt with them as I thought they were too pricey, but they had some happy customers.

In more recent times I am seeing on here that people have had problems with them.

Its pretty poor taking money from people once you know you can't deliver. I am sure they would have known a week or so before they closed down.

I too, bought something on Jan 18, was given a 10 day eta (all was fine, and so on).. tis now March 23. Tried to call, and phone is disconnected.

Its also entirely possible they are just having problems with their phone :P

dk, i rocked up a week ago in the middle of the day just because i was in the area. place looked deserted, dust gathering in the shop etc,

own story is bringing my non boosting turbo there (wasnt making that swoosh sound..yes i know im a noob) anyway both brothers looked at it and told me i needed a new turbo.

booked it in for the week after but in the meantime a mate had a look and told me it was just the actuator flap/gate that had come loose. he fixed in five minutes with some basic tools. pretty much ruined the place for me though im sure they have done some good work in the past.

met the girl who seems to run the place at a few track days and she was always friendly, so mixed emotions hearing of their demise.

i just got my parcel after a month and a half, and it took an email, saying i will be contacting consumer affairs and possibly taking legal actions, it was express posted within the next two days, my advice is, look some where else

No a parts shop mate.. And with pp there is never anyone in te shop anymore. No one goes there. They are too pricy and the service has gone down hill. Wind back maybe 3 years ago and things were not so bad :-). Sad to see what happens to some people :-( and yes i would deffinitly recommend using the consumer affairs/ department of fair trading card as that may be the only way you will see your orders.

its pretty sad really, but I no longer deal with powerplay. I have bought 4 cars through them over the years previously though, and Ali is the most honest and thorough mechanic I have ever dealt with. But these days too many people have paid but not received goods.

Ask Christan that runs these forums about what happened when he left a car there to sell on consignment.

Ali - what a waste of a magnificently knowledgeable technician! I hope he bounces back!

Robert was a fine one himself - and honest.

Tosh who did a lot of co-ordination left about 4 years ago and he was a real good communicator.

Great. Read this the other day and just my luck.....

About 2 weeks ago I went there to put down a deposit on some coil springs after contacting them a few days before that. They looked like business as usual and some good stuff there too.

So now you are pretty much telling me I will not get my parts, or a refund of my deposit? :angry:

yeah thats the one, so do they look open again? curious about the ongoing saga.

odd so many conflicting reports as to their honesty/reliability though it seems like the golden days are long past. must be a good reason behind this?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
