I told him about accc and strongly insisted on a refund and all he replied was, I can only offer an exchange under warranty. This complied with consumer law in Australia.

So I guess I'm stuck. Maybe I'll just get a new set of 6 and try sell them and buy splitfires. Such a stuff around. Guys a jerk

So 6 new ones? Cos way too hard to find problem Coil.

I think I'll just get accc involved. It's such a waste of time getting a new set if they're weak pieces of shit anyway that can't even handle 18psi. No spark blow out at high boost my arse that's false advertisement. So much for satisfaction guaranteed. More like hassle and wasting time and money guaranteed, he can stick the set of coils up his arse

Just let PayPal deal with it mate. In fact all of your communication with the seller so far should have been through PayPal.

If after mediating through PayPal, he still only wants to send a replacement set, swap them over and if that set also misfires I'm sure PayPal will demand a refund as they're clearly not performing as advertised.

Add *cough* Super *cough* S *cough* park

Just as shit too, pulled a set out on a car before and I threw it into the bin for some OEM coils

An Ombudsman/ACCC reference number can make a big difference to their attitude. I was having some issues and got to this point, the moment i gave him a case number I got everything i wanted. The beauty was they still get investigated by ACCC =)

You do need to make reasonable effort to find a solution, so i would suggest trying to identify the faulty ones (likely all 6!) and let him replace them all, then when they are still faulty you have full right to demand refund. The law state they can offer 'Repair, Replacement or Refund' but you don't get to chose which, they do. So you do need to go through the long painful process.

Phone the Ombudsman/ACCC and have a chat, they will advise what you should do.

I've made a complaint with accc and also maybe a dispute on PayPal and on the end of the comments I copied and pasted the accc complaint number lol.i bet this jerk will get away with it. I bet all the perfect please saying yellow jackets are good are running closer to stock boost. They'll be nice for a rude awakening when they want more power and notice they also gained alot of misfire with they upped boost lol

Spoke about this with my lawyer partner, and her response was there is only a legal footing if the product doesnt do what it specifically says it will do, because the advertisement is very vague and non-specific the product, doesnt have to do very much more than the stock part, with the engine operating at factory specs.

So probably no accc case, as it would be buyer beware unless the seller gave the advice that the product would perform to your specific requirements.

Sell them and get a more reputable part, perhaps dont waste your time... Seller sounds aware of theyre position

I'd love to get them but I'm broke atm lol well I don't know if he will want to replace them now since I threatened him with accc :/ he hasn't replied since lol

I find they're ok on the dyno whilst I'm tuning, great for street use.. as soon as I hit the track and do a few laps.. bamm misfire city!

But at 0.5mm it's tits.. no misfires at all!!!

yup, ditch the yellow junkets and fit a set of BCPR7eix gapped to 0.55mm and there will be no missfires.

the guy has a ACCC case pending if someone is keen... the website and packaging claim power and economy increases that are just not there... with no disclaimers.

even increased combustion... its clearly stated it offers these increases yet doesn't deliver... 100% has to refund.

mate threw a brand new set of yellows in the bin put in Splitfires @ .55mm gap now runs well over 500wkw's.

Job done

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
