lol that's enough info to make the chinese factories pump out genuine looking ones...

but its a turbo timer... i mean... that's the cheapest thing apexi sells, why on earth would you buy a fake one instead?

I don't think it's the choice of buying a fake one but believing you are buying the real deal and paying the required amount for a lower in quality unit that doesn't really work.

More profit for the seller and the poor buying mite not even realise until he read that post.

yeah if you sell cheap things (ie. a turbo timer in relation to other apexi parts) people arent going to heavily analyse the product until theyve installed it, and by then its too late.

keep a look out, another reason to not buy car related products off the net.

I think it is fair to say that this is not a regular thing that happens.

People spend billions of dollars every day online and 99% of people will get their products without and hassles and save alot of money.

I have personally saved tens of thousands of dollars purchasing items for my cars online. Its a risk and a risk I am certainly willing to take.

It isnt just turbo timers they are getting everything copied now, one fake SAFC has turned up here in WA and it will get a lot worse.

If people rip you off on cheap bits how keen will they be to find fake Apexi bits and sell them on the forums and E-Bay.

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
