Dead right. TOTALLY USELESS.

Sent an Power Fc to a Perth address via registered mail, insurance, the whole bit. Never heard back.

Did my own tracking and found it had been delivered, hopefully to the correct address. So I got cranky and asked what guarantee did I get for the big bucks.

--NOTHING--

Disgusted at their response offering me back, the cost of a stamp to notify that the item had been delivered.

ALSO just sent an A4 envelope to GTSt25 in Italy- cost $38.

Guaranteed anywhere in the world in 4 days max. Took 3 weeks.

I'll use couriers from now on.

I've used australia post for probably close to 100 items, never had a problem.

A lot of people label stuff incorrect, have shithouse handwriting, don't provide a return address, package poorly, etc, etc. Wouldn't surprise me its people's own fault half the time.

Oh yeah I hate them too

Got a part for my KTM sent over from Melbourne after searching everywhere for one. Its the only spare in the country. The shop did the right thing, registered it and all. EXPRESS, so it should have bee here in 2 days max.

3 weeks later I rang up the shop got the reg number. Australia post were less then helpful, said they'd never heard of that number and to take it up with the shop.

Basically the shop got shitty, got compensation from Australia post and thus re paid me.

Not happy, I now have to order the part from KTM which is a 2.5 month wait from Austria :D

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
