Turbo S14 turbo kit pics..

[TurboB15Sentra]

Are you new to all this or something? You gave a timeline, doesn't matter if JWT or Tom, d!ck, and Mary are holding things up. Not the buyer's responsibility. I have had customs snags, I have also gotten out another product immediately....we know customs the only way something of ours gets held up is human error. (this is Cisco Network gear).

I sincerely hate this excuse from a vendor. Chances are I would have paid, yet the vendor half-asses it and ships it out to me in an unsuitable condition for my car. Perhaps the vendor is used to working on rattletraps and klunkers, I don't know....but when I order a part based on price I am expecting equal quality just a better deal....if there is going to be a quality problem it should be specified, but I am sure that would kill business.

Advertized as:"Mirror Polished Wiget, all parts included, new lists at $1,500, ours only $1,250!"

actually comes as:"Sort-of Mirror, sort-of pretty scratched up Wiget, some parts included, the rest we made it up, was new at one point......$1,250"



Were these just upgrades you felt like doing, or forced upgrades since you couldn't supply the original log manifold and unpolished compressor cover? That's another tactic I have dealt with...."We upgraded you FREE to the super duper version for the blinker fluid reservoir and you can't overlook the fact that the other parts are banged up to hell and back....jesus what do you want from us we already gave you free stuff!"

Good luck to all affected.

Umm, last time I checked, this didn't pertain to you.. so please mind your own business. You have no idea about what's going on, nor do you need to.

Ya seriously alkemyst unless you are as you said the one(s) affected then im guessing that you aren't. So seeing as you are not involved you are going off of what SR PwrdVA is saying. Which might be the truth and might not be well we dont know and well i dont want to b/c i have been in that sitaution my self. So since we have established that you have no idea what is going on in his situation i feel it best that you not try to make TurboB15Sentra sound like a shady vendor. By the pics above i think that he does incredible work. Btw Turbo what shop was that s14 at before you got to it.

I am not going off anything SR said...the vendor admitted things right in this thread that a vendor should not put on the customer unless he stated that from the start....saying three weeks and it taking months and months is very wrong, but common.

I don't know why people care so much about a picture of an install either. A freaking monkey can pull off a good install. The problem is getting the parts and making sure they are right. That is the issue people have....very few shops pull off a bad install once all the parts arrive. The bad installs I have witnessed were due to a customer pulling his car (admittingly because they HAD too) early.

I also do not know how you knew I had nothing to do with the situation...sounds like you are the one jumping to conclusions. However I have not dealt with either person, and I have no idea on the reputation of that vendor other than what they stated in this thread.

Read what the vendor said and tell me how can you honestly say that is a way to treat a customer....he was passing off all responsibilty on the actions of his subcontractors and agents used.

Travis, I believe you're wrong. I have every reason to post this. I have been fighting with you for almost 5 monthes to get parts that you promised would only take 3 weeks!! You have not answered my emails or contacted me in weeks. Yes you have told me about ur customs problems and the ecu, but what about all of the other parts you told me were ready to ship out. It took 3-4 monthes just to get SOME of those, when all the time you kept telling me that you had them there ready to ship out. Even the last shipment of parts I received was imcomplete. I was supposed to receive EVERTHING else except the ecu, and the injectors/bov. The ONLY part I can have an understanding for is the ecu because I have friends who have ordered from JWT. As far as the bov and injectors coming from canada, this is not my problem my friend. If you have an unreliable source this is your problem. You could have easily ordered these parts from a US dealer instead of making me wait this long, yet you do not seem to feel the need to make up for my losses. As for the pipes, I specifically asked you before I sent you money what the pipes would look like because I wanted my setup looking clean. You told me that the pipes would be powdercoated and look "killer". I still have that email by the way. I would not even have been as angry if they looked decent, but they look like sh*t. I can and will do a better job than that on them my self. It's funny how I can't get in touch with you for weeks and send you numerous emails that you don't answer (even try calling), yet somehow you find the time to reply to this post. (Even after your reply to this post I still have no responses to my emails.) You have made no effort to get me my parts despite what you say even though you know my car is sitting in my driveway. Any good business who has inconvienced me as much as you have would have made a much harder effort. Having these parts overnighted to me would be the minimum I would expect from a reputable company who has treated me this poorly so far. As for the polished compressor, anyone can follow your threads and see that turbo used to be the turbo you were going to use on your own setup until you changed and sent me this one. To me it seems that you weren't doing me a favor, just getting rid of you left overs. I am really dissapointed in your service Travis. It seemed I had ALL of you're attention in the beginning until you got my money. Then it seemed as though you put me on the back shelf. I can get no response from you on my parts and you do not even offer compensation for 5 MONTHES of inconvience. I could go on about this for days. I would hope that you strive to better you business through this. Otherwise, I feel sorry for anyone who decides to order anything from you...which is part of why I have made this post. As I have stated in emails that I have sent you, I'm no longer taking this. I have notified my credit card company (for the second time by the way) that you are not holding up with your side of the agreement. They suggested giving you a week to come up with either the parts or refunds for the parts you still owe me. I'll do you one better. I'll give you by the end of next week (that's a week and a half) to have ALL of my parts shipped out (with the exception of the ecu). I don't care if you have to overnite parts from japan, but you owe this to me. For parts that you cannot aquire in this time period I expect a refund. I'm sure that anywhere else...a greddy type-s and msd injectors will not take 5 monthes to get. This may sound harsh to you guys that have not been dealing with what I've been dealing with for the past 5 monthes. But imagine sending over $4500 to someone and expecting your items in 3 weeks. The guy you sent your money to is unreachable except when he feels like replying to you or not out of town working on someone elses car. Three monthes go by and you recieve BARELY half of your parts. Another month goes by and you receive a couple pipes and a fan when you were expecting the rest of your parts. When the guy does email you all he has for you is excuses. About how customs has been holding a bov and injectors for 5 monthes! None of these parts are hard to get guys, most can be ordered from any company and shipped that week. The ONLY parts that I would expect to take longer are the ecu, and the custom dp and hotpipe. I can not explain how pissed off and dissapointed I am. And to top it of, Travis, you don't offer ANYTHING to compensate for my troubles. No money back, no extra parts or services, nothing. Just excuses. If I could I would take it all back and order from Enjuku or JGY. But here I am fighting with you to get the last of my parts. IT is plain out ridiculous. But to get off of this rant....bottom line. If my parts and or refunds aren't shipped by the end of next week, my credit card company will be refunding the money to me and then you will have to deal with them because they will be at your door wanting THEIR money back. I so wish it hadn't come to this and I really wish our business had gone the way it should have. But you've been treating me like sh*t. Plain and simple. I ask ANYONE to think twice about ordering anything from Travis. If you would like, PM me or email me with any questions and I will gladly elaborate on my troubles with his service.

Mike, I am sorry you had a bad experience with me... All that I can tell you.. is that I do work alone, and that it takes time to fab this stuff up. I had some problems getting some of the stuff, and I did my best to get it to you as fast as I possibly could. I did some nice stuff in your kit, because I did feel bad about taking longer than I was supposed to. However, I guess that doesn't hold weight with you. Time is an issue a lot of the time with me.. we just don't stock all of this stuff, nor can we afford to. I build kits/cars because I enjoy it, and it pays my bills. Sometimes I get backed up, and things get delayed. There's not much more to say..

Also, if you do file with your credit card company, you'd better make sure you are prepared to go to court. I have proof that you recieved almost all of your stuff, and that you acknowledge that I only owe you a few things. I am doing what I can here to take care of you.. and I don't know what the deal is, but I HAVE sent you several emails in the last few weeks. I'm not sure if you aren't getting them or what.. but I am doing what I can to keep you informed. Also, I need you to send JWT your core ECU, or pay 200.00 for the core charge. They cannot send you out your ECU until you do one of those two things. Please email me, or whatever so we can get this resolved.

I wasn't trying to blame anyone... I am simply explaining what the hold up is on the rest of this stuff. Take it however you want I guess... Unless you are in my shoes, or run your own performance shop, then I realy don't think you have any business giving me pointers. And as far as an install bieng easy... I don't do "installs". I fab everything, from start to finish. It's funny.. that people always think it's so easy to do this kind of work.. Instant gratification doesn't come in this business. It takes a lot of hard work, time and money. Unfortunately, most people are too impatient, and don't understand this. I realy don't care if people like it or not... Yes.. I take my time building stuff.. And I realy don't care to do business with people who can't except that. Sometimes, I can decipher between the people who will and won't accept that though...

Great reply....seriously...a typical one too. Instead of helping us the possible customer someday understand, you just slap it away.

I hate to break it to you, but this isn't email here...it's posted in an open forum.

Again you like the other guys are thinking I am going off anything SR said...I replied to what you said in response, not him. I don't know how much experience these guys have with car vendors but I have had a lot. 2 Mustangs (1966 GT, 1989 GT), a VW GTI VR6, a 92 Integra GSR, a 96 Bronco, a Saturn SC2, my current 240SX, a Dusky Open Fisherman, countless maintenance stuff for friends while in college and even now. Then there is all the network equipment I bought and sold for two years professionally on top of the computer parts and electronics I source for myself and others.

I have heard so much hiding behind a low price it's pathetic. I can see something 'as is' or 'salvagable', etc at a low low price...but when someone is saying mint and perfect that is mint and perfect....not mint and perfect for something 10 years old (wtf does that mean anyway) nor mint and perfect for something that was underwater for two years.

My latest car part was getting a Camry front door handle for a frugal neighbor...found one at $15, listed as mint...deal wants about $120 painted. I get it the thing is crap, broken and reglued, paint scratched up. I am told "for 10% of list that's as mint as mint gets"...I got my money back and shipping refunded. Bought a reproduction in black for about $30 shipped. New and better than the stock part. That is how it should be done.

SPL Parts was there for every call and got me my first 240SX order without a hitch.

Then I try to order a knife three months ago that finally arrives after being told it would arrive no later than two weeks after my order, then 1 month, then alot of avoidance, then should have been here 2 weeks ago with a free 2 day upgrade. It arrived yesterday and was shipped ground at $10.45 (6.5" cooking knife)....vendor had the nerve to ask me to leave amazon feedback. He got it alright.

I am constantly buying and selling, a package coming at least once a week if not twice. Selling stuff out at least once a month now that I am no longer self employed and selling stuff is something I don't have time for now....but on average I was shipping each night....no problems on my end, if a package that was needed got held up, I verified it and resent a replacement.

The hard job is not finding the parts anymore, it's finding a dealer that you can trust to get them to you.

See, that's what you realy don't get... I don't care about what you think..whether it's on an open forum or private email. You are way off-base, and I don't care what you think. So, go and preach to someone who cares..

Unless you own a shop that builds one-off stuff in this line of work.. then you have no idea what it takes to get it done. This isn't a warehouse, who is supplying a part to a customer. If the parts were in stock, it would be a lot easier to get it out. But, when it takes time to build something from the ground up.. requiring 50 different things from 10 different places.. it takes time. And if you can't understand that.. then take your business elsewhere. I don't need the business from people like you.
