So I'm just wondering if there's a specific place on this forum for people to post up their reviews or experiences buying car parts or their dealings with particular companies, good or bad? 

Have bought some pretty horrendous quality parts from a pretty big company before and would be happy to share all the pictures and the full story for anyone considering parts any upgrades from said company

The problem here is that we have had several companies threaten legal action against me personally because others have written bad things about them on the site. As I am the one who ultimately is responsible for the site then I am the one who is liable.

That said, I'd definitely entertain the thought of having a feedback (positive and negative) section if the posts were moderated and proof of purchase/ownership could be established. The big issue is always keyboard warriors who jump on and say "yeah, i had a mate who blah blah blah and they were shit". There'd be a bit of work required to set this up and make sure it was all kosher.

Leave it with me.

All good yeah that's why I figured I'd ask. I have receipts and all from Mishimoto for almost $1000 worth of parts, and pictures of the poor quality and simply not fitting. If you decide to make such a section let me know. In the meantime anyone who is thinking of purchasing mishimoto feel free to ask for the pictures and story of my experience with them and I'd be glad to send them to you, as I wouldn't so much as buy an air freshener off them anymore 😂

I thought it was well known on these forums that you shouldn't buy parts from that supplier.

I wasn't on any forums until this one recently 😂 and they're well reviewed for the most part, until you start looking harder to find the bad reviews. But live and learn I guess, won't make that mistake again. It's the customer service that was even worse tbh

Might as well go buy eBay bing bong and stencil on the M and save the remainder for a few quick lap dances at the local titty bar.

Shhh, they might hear you. Directly below your post

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      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!
