Hey guys,

Don't know if this is the right section - but I am in need of some insight.

I recently bought a set of 4 TE37SLs (from japan, genuine etc etc). And I am almost 95% sure that upon arrival I checked each box individually and they all contained a set of the red stickers (I think we all know the ones for these wheels).

Yesterday upon picking my car up from having them fitted, the garage told me the boxes only had two total, it's a reputable garage, I don't think they'd try screw me.But as i'm not 100% completely confident they were all there, not much I can say or do.

As they are quite expensive replacements ($50 a pop) i'd like to know has anybody experienced this before when ordering rays from Japan?

Appreciate your opinions.

Have you heard of the term, "rattle the sabre"?

I'd get someone in authority to send them a letter of demand or suffer the consequences of going through a tribunal with Fair Trading > see if the pair suddenly turn up.

Did the stickers & other paraphernalia arrive in sealed bags? And thus were two bags molested?

I never had any problem with missing stickers from Rays or Work they are top quality products can't fault them one bit, i think the tyre shop may have kept them for themselves by the sound of it, I've had a tyre shop steal my Rays Valve caps before the dirty pricks. :angry:

This is my concern, I do not know who I should go after regarding this, the place I brought the wheels from, or the shop that fitted. As i'm not 100% sure I sighted all four stickers (though i'm at least 90%..). The wheels came in 4 separate boxes, each box containing a sealed plastic bag containing 1 sticker + instructions and warranty card each. Upon receiving back from the garage, only two bags! They are a well known garage (even to SAU) so I want to be sure first, as I don't understand why they'd rip them off.

Sounding more and more like this may be what happened.... not amused to say the least. Karma will be swift!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
