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

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
