Did he reply back to you, i have been trying to get a response from him since last week, through here and through eBay. I would like to purchase it through here but i do need one soon.

I dont care i would order one through ebay if i really had to but if he cant reply to my messages, how is he gonna send the item if i hit "Buy It Now".

I would like a reply just for acknowledgement at least.

I havent received a 'confirmation' response yet.

I made the transaction on the 5th April, so its only been 4 working days i suppose.....hoping it arrives this week.....

Hey guys,

Im a bit 'up in the air' with this at the moment, should I or shouldnt I

well, i posted this question on another forum, I just want to see what you guys think of this.

http://antilag.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8579

what are peoples thoughts?

turbosmart are a business, they want to make money people who know what they want, and make more off people who dont know what they need. u dont need a fuel cut defender unless ur getting fuel cut (sounds obvious doesnt it), it doesnt need to be a precationary thing.

but if ur getting to the point where ur getting fuel cut, then u want to look at interceptors or other upgrades.

but thats a seperate issue - if u want to go from stock boost to 10-11 psi, then get one of these.

no, jrdsports is the seller on ebay whos copied marks boost controller and selling them himself.

having said that, ive ordered one via him to test out the communication/how quick its sent. he got money thurs, i received it on the next tues, so not too bad. replied to query about when it was sent within 24 hrs.

unfortunately the original maker (mark/turbotech) has very bad service - while its good he came up with the controller, he simply is not the best option for purchasing them anymore (assuming jrd one is as good, ive yet to try). as evidenced by last few pages in this thread, many people are waiting for theirs to be delivered (eventually they are, but not too quickly), he seems to never reply to emails either.

is this guys SAU user name "jrdsports"

if so...

how are you guys getting in contact with him on SAU?

No he is not the user , i think its simark87, his customer service is starting to upset a few people.

that is the reason why i bought my jrd boost controller off jrdsports, because mark was not repling to my emails and jrdsports replied within 10 mins of me sending it to him.

got my boost controller off jrdsports within 2 days of payment and the thing is the best performance investment i have made to date. so if your not getting anywhere with mark try these guy's , http://cgi.ebay.com.au/JRD-Boost-Controlle...1QQcmdZViewItem and you should get good service

there u go, two replies within a minute of each other which basically say the same thing - mark's customer service has become non-existant, whereas thus far jrdsports has been good, and if the product is as good, then to save hassles just buy it through him (via ebay - http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZjrdsport)

oh well i thought jrd was the guy that this thread was all about...back in the day when they were $22...

i emailed him, and he said he'd do it for $35 delivered , just buy it through ebay and mention that i was quoted $35 and that was it...

the original guy, whats his name on ebay?

this is the other one on ebay: http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZsimark87QQhtZ-1

ask the jrdsports if he'd supply them to SAU members for $35 delivered? and if so how we should go about ordering? he hasnt sold a truckload on ebay as yet, so he might get a lot more interested if he gets all the SAU guys who are tired of waiting :mellow:

well at first i thought he was the orignal seller this thread was about (as i didnt know there was 2 sellers) so i searched and he is a member on SAU as jrdsports, so i emailed him through the ebay auction page, asking what price he was doing for us SAU members...he said $35 delivered, which seems to be a $5 saving.

but now im not sure, as everyone in this thread is raving about simark's controller, and no one really seems to have used jrdsports yet....in theory they should be the same...but thats in theory. lol

I've got one of marks controllers and couldn't be happier, and in december at least he was answering his emails (usually within a day or so). The first one he sent out never arrived so he sent a second one that turned up the next day, meanwhile at the same time the first one was returned to sender back to him. So i never had any problems really.

But yeah, if he's not keeping in touch with customers then i guess you've got no option :

NOTICE TO SAU PEOPLES

I have received an email from Mark and he has assured me that my controller should be at my doorstep today. He even provided me with the tracking number.

The reason he has not been able to respond to peoples query emails or on this forum is that he is a VERY busy person as he works a full time job and is pretty busy meeting EVERYONES needs.

From his email:

"I work full time and spend a vast amount of time making these controllers, organising post and I receive more emails than I can possibly answer right away"

But rest assured your boost controller WILL arrive :(

Thankyou Mark

yeh he replied to me yestureday too, and this morning, just a hickup with ref number. hope he sorts it out

also got a reply yesterday within a few hours, and would've had my controller today if i wasnt at work last night when he replied....so due to good friday, i guess ill have it on tuesday or something

Do remember offering a product such as this he will receive a lot of emails from time wasters and also people who do not know how to fit the controller to their particular car. All of which spam the crap out of his inbox. :D

I would hate to see his inbox should he not check his email for a couple of days. :

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
