Hi guys, just like to let every one be aware of 33DVL as i have just had a dodgey transaction with him for a r33 manual gear surround.

Its been over 6 weeks since the transaction took place and i still have not received it.

Communication started off really well, then the excuses starting coming out that apparently there was a stuff up at the post office that it was still sitting there for a week.

i asked him if they were to refund the postage, and he said they were going to after he told me he'd already been down there to find out what had happened.(sus)

He offered to refund the postage, but never asked for my bank account details.

Then he was offering me extra parts as compensation for taking so long, which i thought was odd seeing as how 'it wasn't his fault'. (sus)

Since then i had no response from him.

Just a heads up, also i have noticed that every one of his sale ads has no pics.

Mate to be fair, and this is not on anyway me defedong the guy, but Screw ups at the post office Are very common. I've had a few myself.

Also how much can a gear surround possibly be worth? doubt sum1 would purposely scam u for a few bux.

But than again ppl have done dumber things. All the best with getting ur money back buddy.

So in 24hrs the story has changed...

If you have issues, raise it with Admin next time rather than threads like this.

People far too often jump the gun as buyers, see it all the time where 2 days and suddenly its sorted

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
