emailed him late last night and got a reply today saying "its very unusal for it to take this long to arrive, and he would suss it out and geet back to me tomorrow" fingers crossed all works out.

Keep me posted on how you go - there may be genuine reasons and we will give them the week to get sorted; but hell, it doesn't take much to email people back and say hey I've some problems. If you take peoples money to supply a product that you don't have, then that's not great business sense. I'll keep you up to speed if I ever get my gear

theres no malabar st in roxburgh park

Well that says it all - fake address, no phone listing, bugger all email contact:

Come on guys, someone out there must know where this mob live:

They've used the name "Online Motor Options" - the contact Theresa Holt.

May have also traded as HorsePower Kings"

Had an address of:

10 Malabar Street Roxburgh Park Vic

They have been removed from eBay - that's at least a plus

Come on guys - let's find these characters and get people back their money or goods for which they have already paid.

I'll say one thing though, if you're using the e-mail facility on e-bay...it's 100% dodge, I never receive confirmations etc etc and always have to include an instruction for the sellers to contact another e-mail addy, it's that bad.

As for Australia post losing things...don't get me started on that issue. The most recent thing has been with our mail being redirected to a PO box...now anyone sending stuff to our home addy gets it returned to sender, even though it's a valid address.

I've got things being sent by friends and it's taking months for it to arrive, so I know some of you guys would be getting edgy about strangers sending stuff, but just remember Aus Post is useless at the best of times.

doesn't e-bay have a provision where you send the money and they send the goods and they are both forwared on when both parties have fulfile there part of the deal??

As for paying total amounts on unseen goods, thats just stupid. put down a 10% deposit and they have to hold it for you. Especially if the goods aren't in the country.

if your not happy, go and get your money back. if they don't want too hand it back, put small claims onto them.

I recently purchased an Intercooler kit on eBay through Online Motor Options - the email contact has the name Theresa. I have received the Intercooler but I'm still waiting on the piping some 4 weeks since I paid for the kit. Is there anyone out there who can give me some contact details (phone number, location etc) of this group - Online Motor Options so I can find out what's going on.  Any details appreciated.

PS: More than happy with the quality of the Intercooler although getting more than a little worried about delivery or lack of delivery of the piping, hoses etc.

Please help if you have any contact details

Well guys - just to let you all know that I have still not received my piping from this Online Motor Options group and today will start the legal process. Be aware that a person was recently jailed for 18 months for advertising something on eBay that they did not have and accepted the money from 3 buyers. This is a very serious offence to take peoples money and not supply what you paid for. Be careful - both sellers and buyers.

they also have the highest rate of sales of all internet sites i would say...

I have just received an email from a mate involved in a Commodore web group saying that they have a couple of fellows who paid for an Intercooler kit from this mob and haven't received anytthing yet. Sounds like Police or Consumer Affairs is the next port of call for these mongrels if they don't come to the party.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
