We won't response any more. waste our time.

To the CXRacing guy that remains nameless; I don't want your time, I just want to notify my fellow consumers of your business practices.
I have been building custom cars and motorcycles for over 25 years. I also work in the automotive industry. I am far from new to the fabricating/aftermarket performance scene.
I performed my RB25DET swap on my 260z over a year ago and I have been driving it ever since.
I used the Mckinney Motorsports mounts (great company btw) and the harness from Wiring Specialties (Yuri is the man!). Therefore I didn't need to buy your $2149 kit. I wanted what you offered in the kit I bought with only one change and that was the turbo. This is what I should have got... GT3071r turbo with oil feed/drain lines, fittings, coolant fittings, 4 bolt to v-band adapter, manifold with wastegate flange welded, 3" downpipe, and your wastegate.
What I received was a GT3071r turbo with severe shaft play, 24" feed line (won't fit unless it is routed in between and resting on the header tubes), incorrect oil feed and drain fittings (you sent me gt35 fittings not the gt3071r), the drain hose was correct (yippie!), no coolant fittings/lines at all, no 4 bolt to v-band adapter, no wastegate flange welded to the manifold, 3" downpipe that wasn't even close to fitting (if my engine was 9" lower it would work but that's impossible) and your wastegate.
From what I gathered, the quality control department over at CXRacing doesn't exist and obviously the knowledge of what they are selling is lacking as well. If someone would have taken an extra 30 seconds to check what was going with what for my application, I wouldn't be writing this. Actually, if someone would have contacted me back after I left multiple messages (weeks ago) regarding these issues, I wouldn't have wrote this.
CXRacing's customer service sucks! They will take your money and give you a 30 feet or 30 second warranty. They do not stand behind what they sell unless there is a possibility of negative feedback on Ebay. Since I made the mistake of buying direct, this is my negative feedback.
BUYERS BEWARE!
