Subtle lol...

You used the word brilliant many times lololol

Wasn't me, but a close relation....

You'd be more interested in the car he replaced this with - an N55 335i AH3

On November 22nd 2018, I put an order for a GTX3576R Gen 2 supercore from Sparesbox.

Sparesbox then went all quiet for about 3 weeks, I then contacted them and they advise there will be a delay (thanks for telling me anything). Due to the lack of communication, they offered me a $35 voucher. Sure whatever, it's end of the year not like I'm going to work on my car anyhow lol

Fast forward a few weeks, Pxxx (trying to hide names) called me and she advised me GCG (their supplier) is unable to provide me the turbo bought, so the alternative was to bump me up to a GTX3582R Gen 2. A bit hesitant at first, I eventually agreed to go a tad bigger.

So, last week I received a package on Friday, excited I opened it and look what arrived ?‍♂️20190113_112207.thumb.jpg.06d94d86fd246bbb9bbc2a8723a2b1ce.jpg

So yeah, I got what I wanted nearly 2 months ago, but... I've ordered a 0.83 housing because I thought I was getting a GTX3582R Gen 2 not a GTX3576R Gen 2. If I was definitely getting a GTX3576R Gen 2, it would be a 1.01 housing not a baby 0.83.

So f you Sparesbox.

Well... You said you wanted more response for skid pans. Maybe they heard you and this is they're way of helping you out.

 

When are skid vids of gtx3576 gen2 goodness scheduled?

After Spool Imports decide to actually identify the gears I installed are theirs. The idiot sales guy said the gears I put in aren't Spool Import gears ?‍♂️

f**ken hell brah. This is why i don't want to let the Nissan out.

Sales guy needs a kick in the arse.

Was your reply, “then whose gears did you sell me?”

Nope, sent a photo of the gears from new.

No response today... sigh, should have bought a M4.

I waited almost 6 months for sparesbox to supply my EFR6758 and it was an absolute f**k around. I only paid $1900 for it. Ended up cancelling because they told me it would be a 9 month wait from that point (at the end of the 6 months). Cancelled the order and they refunded the money with no voucher or anything.

Purchased 6758 the next day for ~$2800

Sparesbox ring me the week later saying they just got their order in. I said ill take it still because it was so cheap. They don't agree to the $1900 that i was supposed to pay (was purchased during a sale) and want to charge me $3k

f**k sparesbox

that's f**ked, and so obvious that they were doing everything they can to get out of honoring that sale price. I'd be reporting that shit to the ACCC

Guess I'm the odd man out.

I've only had good dealings with SparesBox.

However, I've only been buying basic service and repair items - with the exception of a billet girdle which they had a killer price on and shipped in good time.

ehhh my CBF factor is maximum. Was like 1.5 years ago now anyway.

Can they swap the rear housing for you? 

Ordered it through someone else, worked out cheaper.

Trying to see if I can exchange 

So.. some updates, returned the 0.83 for a credit note and will be using that towards a turbo drain, lines/fitting kit, etc.

Also ordered the 2nd revision of Spool Import gears, hopefully it doesn't need to come out again. 

Lastly, come to an agreement with Sparesbox, they're doing their best to rectify the poor experience and making it up to be by shopping a rear housing at a reduced cost.

Guess that worked out ok, just in time for CNY.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
