Just wondering if anyone has had issues with Proflow parts or Proflow themselves. So i bought a new Proflow fuel rail, to find the inside edges where burred and had metal shavings on the inside. After non stop ringing and emails for a month, today i finally received an email. Saying to just clean it up with a flat blade screwdriver!!!! Really isn't this why we dont buy cheap Chinese stuff. Anyway Im not bagging Proflow at all, I just wanted to know if this was just a case of 1 in a million. Thanks for reading, please leave a response if you have dealt with Proflow whether its bad or good

Don't think that's acceptable man seems pretty poor on there behalf, I've used them a couple of times and it's kinda hit and miss, sometimes the guys can't help you at all so you've just gotta know exactly what you need.

went in there one time had a guy spending ages trying to find the right fitting for me, said we needed to use some adapter and all up was going to be like $80 for a right hand bend fitting from like dash 5 to dash 6 the other side, I went to a place called "Enzed" and they had exactly what I needed for $10... and it had a psi rating too (Enzed is a hydraulic hose fitting specialist) I usually go there first before Proflow now.

Quality control issues and customer service issues, you can only really notify the company directors, if they are intending to operate their business successfully they will follow-up on your complaint, they need to be informed before they can do anything.  A company search and a couple of registered letters with photographs, will put the ball in their court.

...otherwise take your problem to youtube, and social media like Ravi suggested.

Well finally I got my fuel rail replaced from Proflow. Guess what this rail is as bad as the first one. Cant believe it. When I spoke to the person from Proflow on the phone, who was organising the replacement rail, he said he checked the new fuel rail. He said in these words. The new fuel rail isn't perfect but it sounds better than the one I have. Was i speaking to the guy from the scratch and dent section of Proflow

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By Tekitsune 路 Posted

      Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana 路 Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu 路 Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus 路 Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
