Once you've got the demo, now you can sell it to them :)

Even a kanban on a white board with magnetic tiles where you can list the part, customer name, order number.

Different tiles, different category of work/part.

Not hard, just needs discipline.

They should hire me, I'll show them true Asian efficiency.

asif they would want to pay for that, they're too stubborn I bet.

No business owner likes being told what to do, it's hard enough in the corporate world teaching an old dog new tricks.

I deal with boomers all day in the industry I work in and trying to get them to adopt tech is as hard as teaching your dog to not piss on your couch during their final years.

I have a dog trainer sitting beside me. She says that's actually not a hard thing and she'd take that over teaching tech to stubborn people who don't get it. 😛

Just an update:

So Im still waiting on the radiator since talking to the Owner of Hypertune on 11 Apr. But it looks to be shipping today or tomorrow (fingers crossed)

Besides waiting (9 months) on this thing it, took me until may to find out the fan I chose would possible not fit. I was gonna go with a brushless but with the recessed mounting it wouldn't work (initially I sent them dimensions/schematic to verify fitment. I was assured it'll get handled). So once the radiator was done and pressure tested I had to wait on a new fan. I go the news of the fact that it was all done and pending the fan on 12 May. I imagined that it wouldnt take more than a week for them to get a fan from a distributor and shipped out. I ended up messaging the fab guy i've been in contact with today and he let me know that they are now packing it up for shipment. That tells me that the fan was sitting and my order was forgotten about again. 

hopefully within the next couple of days I will be finished with this transaction.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that Australia is equivalent to the US. We're physically the same size, but with 10% of the population, and a VERY much more laid back approach to business than the cutthroat US environment. So..... things can take a while. Stock is held....perhaps in a warehouse in Indonesia? Maybe Poland? It'll get here eventually. Then they can send it to you. After smoko.

Yeah I'm aware. I've bought my fair share of things from Aus to know shipments take a bit.

I like to think that Hypertune uses a distributor who has items readily available locally. Maybe not.

It was just convenient that when I asked about it then it was getting packed to ship. Makes be think that I was forgotten about.

Hats off to the fab guy. He has been stand up throughout

  • 1 month later...

So, remember when I assumed the radiator was gonna ship out? turns out it didn't.

When I got told it was packed and ready, I didn't hear back or receive any tracking. I gave it a week and then asked what the holdup was. I was informed that they wanted to re-pack to add more bubble-wrap. At this point they were waiting on the packing material. I then waited 2 weeks before asking was it ready to ship out. Once I did ask, I was assured it was ready and will ship out that day. it's been a week since then and no tracking. I typically get an email from UPS/DHL/FedEx accounts when something ships to my address. I've also checked my USPS account to see if they may have used AU Post to ship and so far, nothing. 

I'm super frustrated at this point. Just feels like they took my $2k usd.

You must be fuming.

I don't understand how they're so popular amongst the Skyline scene.

Probably due to Motive most likely.

I'm pretty patient, but this experience has irritated me pretty bad. I wish I was in a position to kick down their door. The fab guys are keeping that business in good standing. Pete and whoever else is in the back office, are failing customers.

Funny story how Hypertune started.

Chiming in.. Haven't read the thread, as I assume it's about f**kingTune, I mean Hypertune. My personal advice is to stay well clear of these dream boats. f**king dream boats roped me in and took over a year to make my f**king FMIC which didn't even fit to begin with like they promised, and then charged me double for the magic 'Heat Resistant' paint... Then they got my end tank sizes wrong. FFS! You had ONE f**kING YEAR PETER LEWIN. And you STILL f**ked it up. /RantEnd.

Let me use this diagram to help you visualise, we can assume "Classic" Plazmaman is right at the bottom of the evolution tree and modern day Plazmaman is the top left.

So, the radiator magically showed up today. I work nights so I just happen to see it sitting at my front door at 11pm. I'm glad one of the Missouri meth addicts didn't get froggy to steal it.

The fab work is clean. it mounts up proper. so far so good.

Well after the excitement and stress relief of getting the rad wore off, I noticed they didn't weld on a filler neck like I asked lol WTF. I asked for one in the OEM location but since they use the PWR 2-pass core, the tanks are on the side. I would like to think they should've known that I still required one.

Oh well, I get that handled eventually.

OMGWTFBBQ!

Never ending story, at least you have the product, just not how you wanted it.

I guess it's a near complete win?

Rt lol. its not a total waste of money. I mean its nice. welds are great and I like how they do the shroud.

considering that I told Pete what I wanted in Sept 22 then getting ghosted and having them rush to get it done; i can see how it got missed. In hindsight I shouldve just layed out everything with the fab guy.

Its all good though. I have a friend that can weld some Alu. I'll get it right once I get my vented hood in to ensure the filler fitment is gtg.

I could go breather tank but I hate all the extra hoses.

    • 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/
