I got this car a few weeks back.. The guy came to me begging me to do something with it. Here's a pic of the car as it was delivered to me.. Some shop in New Orleans did this..
Here's the pics after I built a turbo kit and cleaned it up a little..
I powdercoated the valvecover Ruby Red, with metal flake sprinkles. It looks realy killer in real person.. in the sunlight. He's got a 400whp setup.. should be nice.. I am building a kit off of this for the S14.. I am also building an S13 kit which will be identical, but of course have the S13 piping. There's a forum member here that is buying a kit from me.. so you S13 guys will see it when he gets his.

Enjuku has some realy nice stuff... I just want to be able to compete in the market a little, and maybe offer something more affordable for the guys who don't have a lot to spend. I've been into the FWD SR stuff for years... I decided to get into the S13/S14 market last year. I like it so much more than FWD. I now own a '96 and a '93 Hatch.. The S14 is recieving an RB20DET with an SC61. The S13 is getting a fully built KA, destroked to 92mm and punch out bore to 90mm. Should make for an engine that can rev to about 8K without any problems.. plus still make great TQ. We're also working on a sollution to tighten up the bottom end a bit. The process involves drilling and tapping more holes in the block to use more bolts. I plan on pulling a record for the KA motor sometime this summer.
Not sure about advertising on here.. so I won't say too much more. But, I will be speaking with the admin's here about it.. and hopefully, you guys will see more from me in the months to come. Travis

The thing with paypal is they are acting as middlemen. You are technically paying them, and they are paying someone else. You bounce with the item and the funds get charged back then paypal is left holding the bag.
As a merchant for Cisco gear previously this is both good and bad. It's good in the fact that when you are just a startup and don't have the $300-500 needed to take web-orders or web-orders are going to only be a small portion of the business.
If you are a volume merchant paypal fees get to be a little excessive compared to a regular clearinghouse.

DO NOT do business with this guy! He is the most shady person I have ever met. I was promised a full turbo setup three weeks after I paid. We are now going on over 5 monthes. He still will not send me $1500 worth of parts I need to run my car. Excuse after excuse after excuse, I'm sick, i'm outta town, i've been busy, anything to get out of sending me my stuff. You cannot get in touch with this guy to save your life. Does not answer emails and the phone number listed is not in service half of the time. The other half of the time the mailbox does not receive voicemails. The is the worst business I have ever received in my life. The "custom" piping that was supposed to be powdercoated was nothing of the such. Piping was rattle canned and wrapped in seram wrap so when I got them they had lines all in them. To top it off as soon as I touched them the paint chipped off. I will NEVER buy anything from this guy again, and would not send my worst enemy to him. I should have just went with Enjuku or JGY. At least they are reliable and stick to they're word. Now, five monthes after I sent him money in full, I have a car that I cannot run, and half a turbo setup.

There's no reason to post this on the boards Mike... I have sent you emails letting you know what's going on. Yes, I am having a problem with US/Canadian customs getting some stuff across the border for you.. and I'm sorry about that. But, I have kept you informed. And JWT.. they are slow.. also, not much else that I can do about that.
Also, I never charged you for powdercoating.. I told you I would do it free of charge.. However, our curing lamp is broken, and so I Had the parts painted. It's not spray paint.. the pipes were painted with good paint, and then clear-coated. I think they weren't 100% cured when I packaged them, and that probably damaged the finish. Again, this was free, so I realy didn't expect you to complain.
Also, let's not forget about the stuff that I did for you.. I charged you for a log manifold.. You have a stainless steel equal length manifold now.. and no extra charge. Also, polished compressor cover... no extra charge.
I am trying to get this stuff out to you.. but I realy don't think I deserve the assesment that you just gave me.

Sure, we can do AC work. The best thing to do.. is to retain your KA lines, and bolt a KA24DE compressor to the S13 bracket. 3 of the 4 bolts line up.. which is fine. That way, you can keep your stock lines from the KA, and won't have to get custom ones made.

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).TurboB15Sentra wrote:There's no reason to post this on the boards Mike... I have sent you emails letting you know what's going on.

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.
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.

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
By the way, anyone who has any reason to doubt me, I have kept EVERY email travis has sent me with EVERY excuse, with the timeline he gave me, and the Paypal reciepts on the dates I sent him the money back in mid march, EVERYTHING. So if anyone is in disbelief, I have everything you would like to see (saved it for the credit card company just in case).
Mike
