Unfortunately I have had an issue with the turbo this seller has advertised. I bought if for $680 after inquiring as to the overall condition and shaft play. I was assured it had minimal (less than 2mm) shaft play and was in good working condition through phone conversations and PMs.

Two workshops have inspected the turbo and advised that it has over 4-5mm of play in the shaft and the bearings are completely ruined. It is not in good working condition and cannot be used in its current state. As a result I am getting the turbo rebuilt at a cost of over $700.

I contacted the seller and advised him I was seeking compensation as the turbo was not in the condition described by him. He has refused to discuss any type of compensation. I was seeking $200 which I believe is entirely reasonable since I paid $680 for a turbo that cannot be used.

I have contacted SAU administrators and have been advised to post this in the original sale thread.

bloodsword27: As a seller, you have a responsibility and an obligation to deliver the item exactly as described in your for sale thread.

Based on the information Jeff has provided above, it appears that the description of the turbo that you provided was not accurate, nor a true reflection of its condition, so with that in mind you are obligated to provide the buyer with either a complete refund, or a mutally acceptable settlement agreed upon by you both.

It is absolutely unacceptable to supply an item that is not exactly as described, much less in a completely unusable state, then refuse to accept responsibility or offer a refund.

Please get in contact with Jeff, and settle this issue amicably within 7 days, otherwise your posting ability may be restricted.

Thanks

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
