  • 3 weeks later...

Hey Sinista32, I got the first half of my order this week & the 2nd half is on its way, which I have a tracking number for, so all should be fine with your order hopefully.

Its a shame that a company with a good reputation cant spend the time to communicate to its buyers so they can keep there good reputation.

Are you for serial?

I can only assume your new to this whole thing... a few weeks is nothing to wait for import parts.

The boys do an amazing job of servicing our niche. Imagine the sheer volume of calls and emails on a daily basis, its not reasonable to think they will actively track every aspect of every order, for each customer, every time they call/email.

Yes, I have had my own small business as well...

My experience has been nothing but exceptional service, timely communication, great prices and flexibility from Kudos.

EARTH TO XRATED

You are a typical keyboard warrior

Were you not taught to not ASS_ume anything

I wasnt expecting Kudos to track every aspect of my order (perhaps you are uneducated & cant read whats typed in a post)

All i wanted to know was Kudos still in business (hard to get money back when a business goes belly up)

FACTS:

My order was placed & payed for on 19th June (items were instock & would be shipped out within a few days, so i was told)

My 1st post asking about Kudos was on 9th July (its not a crime to be worried about money i have paid & goods not received)

I never bagged Kudos & i will BUY FROM THEM AGAIN.

If you had half a brain you could workout my order took 21 days to be shipped out from Kudos, thats clearly not a few days.

Hey Justin, perhaps you should lay off the porn & stop tugging yourself & then maybe you might grow a brain again.

FYI: I have dealt with automotive vendors from numerous countries (so i guess i must be new at this) & 95% of the time,

my orders have landed on my doorstep in less than 2weeks (now thats only 14 days, from overseas) not items instock in Australia.

Seeing how you think you know so much about me & are happy to bash me in writting,

if you are ever in South oz PM me If you want to catch up for a chat to see for yourself what i am really like.

Regards

Mark

Yes mate I am. and I'm still concerned. I received one PM 3 weeks ago that said he would contact me on the Monday. Still no contact.

I've had exceptional Service from Andrew and Ian at Kudos in the past. Could not fault it. Best in the business.

However my last purchase a new Genuine Nissan OEM PTU (Ignitor) which I waited very patiently for 6 or so weeks was faulty. In fact it doesn't work at all :(

At a cost of $560 delivered it's not something you usually let slide. I was certain the guys would remedy very quickly. To date no response.

A few hundred dollars and I wouldn't blink twice. Just put it down to bad luck.

I understand the guys were OS for a while in June and in addition their phone system had been on the blink. Stuff happens.

I'm patient, courteous and laid back. Until pushed hard.

But 5+ emails, 3 voice mails and 2 PMs without response.

All up I am just really disappointed after having been a great customer and very strong supporter of Kudos.

I keep hoping there is a good reason and continue to give the benefit of the doubt.

Yes its definitely the PTU. Put a 2nd hand one in my GTR fires up, new one doesn't, and put the old one back in and Vroom.

Sorry to hear this Sinista32, i was under the impression all was sorted out for you.

I too bought the same IGNITOR, i better hurry up & install it to see if its good or faulty.

Hope you got my PM.

Please keep us updated on your saga.

Fingers crossed it all works out for you.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
