If it wasn't a modification, then why didn't you go with an oem clutch & flywheel from a Nissan dealership? You're kidding yourself if you think it's not a modification. Jwt is a much better flywheel compared to stock.

Your jimmies are rustled, plain & simple.

 

I saw that there was a problem with the clutch, the vendor assured me that was just normal for brand new parts from the manufacturers. Didn't find out the flywheel was used until my transmission was out of my car. Explain how that is my fault. I did not make this thread to bash the vendor. I made it so people would be more aware and inspect parts from any drop shipped vendor. Included the vendors name because I wasn't sure who had the same type of business model. Long story short I didn't get what I paid for.

 

What does research have anything to do with anything here? did anybody other the wrong part?

I ended paying twice for a brake job because I ordered some brake rotors and pads. Got them delivered. All looked great. Turned out one of the rotor boxes was mislabeled (good part # - wrong part). Passed my eyeball test. Same at the shop. The job was started....ohhh shiett. Put back the old stuff. Get a little speech as to this is why you should have bought the parts from us. Get "corrected" part delivered. Do the brake job another day.

Looking back, sure I should have done a more thorough inspection for my sake, I'll give you that. But I have a feeling that this is where you would think all the blame belongs.

Like the OP, I have never laid eyes on a clutch or a flywheel so I guess I'm SOL when it comes time to "mod" my car.

 

everyone knows they supposed to inspect parts. its your fault for not fully inspecting the parts before install. seeing wore off anodizing is and easy sign to see.

also, ipp is just a vendor. the blame should go to jwt who sent you the used part, not ipp. ipp did what any vendor could do, but since you did not want to spend the money on your part,(labor) it falls on you. if anything you should of contacted the manufacture like your supposed to do.

ipp have supported my car club for a while now with no hiccups. so i support them fully.

 

So OP gets a part not new as advertised and was given the advice that it would not effect performance, and this is his fault how? I assemble computers to sell and when I buy parts brand new am I expected to inspect every chip and capacitor to make sure it is all soldered correctly? I have gotten bad motherboards before and had to RMA after the computer was already assembled but I guess it's my fault. Retarded comments, stop with the IPP nuthugging.

 

Your logic doesn't really make sense. The liability should not fall upon the end user, ever. Oviously i do my due dilligence to check to part for major defects. but what if the situation bad of been different, and they sent me a 2003 flywheel instead of 2008 explain how the fault would fall upon me. If the liability was not supposed to fall upon ipp, I should have been directed to jwt but I was not.

 

well?

Removing & replacing a MLB is easier than removing & replacing a clutch/flywheel...


If a customer brought you an old busted video card & wanted you to install it, what would you say?

 

~16k spent with Kyle…the only bad incident with a walbro fuel pump, the power connection was chipped, he got one in the mail that day…everything else was great…will do business with him again.

 

But when you got the bad motherboard did you till after you installed it or before? and yes you are supposed to do that you build computers that you sell, the simple fact that you dont check your parts tells me i wont be buying your computers.

 

Because if you would have knowingly still tried to install a 2003 flywheel on a 2008 car because someone told you it doesnt affect performance, even though you know it doesnt look right. than the the blame is on you. there is no way you can spin this to make it seem like they have to take some blame for this.

 

Wait...you think IPP should have paid? Or did you misread my post?

So you weren't looking for them to pay to uninstall? But you said you would have got the garage to put back the old parts if you thought IPP would cover the costs - sounds like that's what you were after?

The thing is, you can't usually get compensation from consequential losses.

 

thats what im saying, the fault is on JWT not ipp. ipp offered a return or partial refund. the op opted for the refund.

 

This was not IPPs fault. I have bought most of my parts from IPP, which is to say quite a few transactions and they have always been phenomenal.

 

As mentioned OP should've contacted IPP first. IPP is one of, if not "the," best vendors on this site. I know the owner and sales guys personally and they would NEVER steer any customer wrong. I have a good feeling there is A LOT more to this story.

Also since you sold/traded your 350Z who cares? EVERY member that has ever traded in a modified cars knows they did it because of the problems it was causing. LMAO!!!

OP... Move on.

 

Honestly have had 0 issues from import parts pros. I use them to buy most of my parts for my car and have never had a problem.

 

sorry to hear about this... i have ordered from IPP before and never had an issue, great customer service and fast shipping.

 

Shop could've pulled one over on you. Transmission dropped? Use the JWT or buy a new one from them. Money, money, money. Uneducated consumer gets burned.

 

Nope not really any more to this story. I didn't receive what I ordered, that's the bottom line. I check to ensure the parts looked like the ones on the website, and that they were not split in half or something. i contacted ipp because the clutch had some issues, they assured me this was from normal manufactering. only after i had the transmission out of my car did i find out the parts were used. ipp offered to give 10% of the flywheel which would bring the part to "used" price, which is again not what i ordered. ipps loss, while I did get rid of my z I stayed within the family and upgraded.


I care because I want to ensure no one else gets put in this situation. To make people aware that they need to go over every part they recieve from drop ship companies.

 

I've dealt with IPP 20+ times and i'm overseas. Kyle was always helpful and their products were up to my expectations.

 

mods please /thread OP just dont get it.
