Chase Bays

[Prove It]

Ok guys i did not want to put out a bad review of any company, but i just want people to know my situation in hope to better others when they are deciding on a company to do their wiring.

So i am doing a 1jz swap into my s13 and needed a harness done. I chose chase bays because i have seen their work and they make some awesome harnesses. I called them and was told that turn around time on my harness would be 3 to 5 weeks, and i told them that the car is my daily and i am going to pull my motor in the next week and just barrow my moms car until the harness is done.

Well week 5 comes around and i emailed them to get an update and kevin over at CB tells me that it should be done next week due to changing who they get their wire from. Ok it is not the end of the world, that is reasonable and not their fault. I will live.

The following week again same thing. Kevin tells me it will be done anyday now. I was just like ehhh fustrated, i need a car. But what can you do...

Now week 7 was yesterday, i emailed kevin on sunday to confirm that harness will be done this week as i have been told. No response by end of the day monday. I called them in the late afternoon and talked to one of the guys answering the phones and he told me that he needs to talk to chase and kevin and see what is going on and he will call me back. Never got called back yesterday or today...sweet. I still await that call to come.

Once again this thread is not to bash the product that chase bays puts out. Their harnesses are epic. Simpily just want to let everyone to know that if you want a harness from them then you better order 3 months ahead of time.

Mods if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it for me. Thanks.

I ordered my chase bays VQ swap power steering line set up mar 19th through ken @ enjuku.

Ken couldn't have been more helpful, awesome dude.

I was originally told it would be about a week or so backorder. no problem at all.

mar 28th they told ken that they have the product and it should be shipped out within the week.

i called them directly today because I am tired of waiting, and they STILL do not have the fittings they need. their parts are REALLY expensive for what they are and for that price they SHOULD have everything ready to ship. If everything they have you have to wait a month min for they should be MUCH cheaper.

After this I am not buying another product from them again.

[leung]

Seems like a hit and miss with this company half the time. However I've had a good experience with them. Ordered their PS kit which arrived in a timely manner and had some troubleshooting issues. Called them up and they took care of it right away with some personal advice and sent me a replacement fitting.

Hmmm sucks. So it's not just me...sounds like they need to get their shit together

Hey guys this is Chase posting.

I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I promise you we are working day in and day out to get these things done faster. At this point its become a supply issue, where we can't get specific materials fast enough. We're told an ETA and we pass that to you. But it is just an ETA, an estimation. The 1JZ/2JZ harnesses have been a game of catch up since the day they released. We're selling so many of them, which is incredible. Not to mention the 20+ other engine harnesses we make.

I always hate seeing this stuff. I am so passionate about this brand and our products, and our industry. Me and my employees have put everything into this. There's a reason we're the only ones in the world doing what we do. Its tricky, its time consuming, and its art. We're always making changes and investing money to perfect this art.

To the OP, sorry you haven't received a call back. I'm not sure which order is yours because your name isn't attached but I'd like to make sure you're taken care of by the end of the day. So email or PM, or just post in here.

This week we've actually brought on a full time customer service rep. Not sales, not tech, but dedicated customer service. Customer service is hard, you think its easy to pick up the phone and call but when you have hundreds of customers everyday that becomes a big deal to handle. That's been our weak point for years. Our customer service is soon to be the best in the industry. Expect the changes in a couple weeks. Customer service is now one of our amazing detailed products.

Thanks, Chase.

That is what i wanted to hear. Like i said i am reasonable, BUT i rather you tell me that the harness could take any where from 3 weeks to 10 weeks rather than 3 to 5 weeks when it is still not done. I will live. I know you guys are working hard and busy with everyone wanting a harness after tax returns. I guess in conclusion sounds like you guys need to hire some more people, and looks that you are doing so but also find a better place to get supplies. Thanks for the response Chase.

PS. Are you guys Auburn fans? If so that explains everything =p haha jk

[tinys s14]

I ordered the pwr steering kit when it first came out and I never received the an fittings and they made me buy them separate.

[ETHANOLED SR]

I've had a great experience from Chase Bays before when I was doing my build a while back. Hope all gets resolved and goes well for you soon! Quality stuff from Chase!

[Pinggg]

Well I just order my clutch line (from clutch master to slave cylinder) from Chasebay through Ken @ Enjuku. Looks like a good product and i haven't really seen any other company that makes the whole hard line replacement so I just gave in and it was $68. Hopefully all goes well I just place the order Friday and was told it will be a few extra day since its coming strait from Chasebay.

[Prove It]

Just want everyone to know that Chase took care of me and everything got sorted out. Super stoked to drive my new 1jz s13 = )

[enohand]

well its good to see they are helping somone...its been almost a week now with no reponse to emials, phone calls, messages on forums or FB....(i puut the order in a few weeks back)

im starting to think that i have been gotten for my money.


i hope thats not the case....all im looking for is a status update on my powersteerin line

[Prove It]

HERE WE GO! Alright guys, i have been too nice and given them way to man chances but it is now time to get a real review out. As you guys saw Chase contacted me and told me that harness will be shipped out last monday. Not today. Last monday which was week 7 and it will be next day shipped. So wenesday comes around and no harness...i was already sketched beause i didnt get an email stating it was shipped. So i called and talk to them and i was told "oh yeah, we are just waiting on an ignitor plug". Sweet, i was told by Chase personally that it would be done and it was not. This called took place last thursday, and they told me that the ignitor plugs are coming in friday, aka the next day. Harness will be out monday. Pissed even more. Today is monday so i call to see if haness is shipped. Guess what? Yeahhhhhh effing harness still not done! To me this is out of this world, but it gets better! They are now telling me harness will be done possibly this friday or early next week. Sweet. Still no harness, still riding my bike around for the past 8 weeks because i was told 3 to 5 weeks and now im on 8 and im sure it wont be done by week 9. PLEASE guys do yourself a favor and DO NOT use chase bays. I talked to jeff over at jordan innovations and. I really wish i would have dealt with them, and still may if my harness is not here by next monday.

Ps. On there website harness turn around time still states 2 weeks or less, or if you need it sooner we can probably do it. Well guess what Chase, i need it sooner then 8 weeks. Thanks man. / rant

[Prove It]

Not only did i not get my harness yet but i have been messaged by two people wishing me luck because when they got their harness after long wait times, the wiring was wrong. So now even when i get my harness i get to hope that they did it right. One of the guys being EXTREMELY well known, but i wish to keep confidental. You guys would laugh if i told you what car's harness they messed up.

[revcyanide]

I am still waiting on my power steering kit as well. Cancelling the order today. I will figure out my own solution because I am tired of being strung along being told it will be done in one week, one week rolls by and it is not here.

unless they are willing to SERIOUSLY fix the problem somehow. I will NEVER buy anything from them again and advise everyone I know to do the same.

I understand having to deal with suppliers, but don't tell some one it will be a 1 week delay when in actuality it is a month and a half delay.

Sorry to hear that. I just do not get it. If it was my company I would be working over time and weekends to get people their product.

Also thanks for adding that Honda tech post

[revcyanide]

yeah, after waiting over a month for the fittings to arrive I was just told on the phone it *might* be done Friday, and that they received the fittings last Friday.


I understand it does take some time to make these things. but if I owned the business I would be busting my ASS to make sure that are done ASAP, i would have worked through the weekend. Telling someone it might take more than a week to put some fittings together is BS.

[Prove It]

Also forgot to add that before the excuse of no ignitor plug in stock Kevin one of the guys who wires there told me this. Sorry it is taking so long, but I need a few more days because we do not support the chaser ecu so I have to figure out the pin out. Last time I checked almost all of front sump 1jzs were chaser motors. And for those who do not know, 240s have to have a front sump jz. They talk to me like I'm dumb.

[Pinggg]

I got my clutch line after like 3 weeks of waiting from chasebay.. Nice product but damn 3 weeks for a clutch line.

[TMY_DUB]

Im in the same boat for my S14 1jz harness from them! They told me 4 weeks when I ordered. Also when I ordered I asked about using a 2jzgte jdm aristo ecu. They said sure no problem.

After 5 weeks I started calling asking on an estimated date. They said "next week" . Next week comes and goes. I call them again, they say "it will be done and in quality control for sure next week". That goes on for a couple more weeks.

Then last week they tell me that the harness is done for sure and its ready to ship! But they cant ship it till the following monday because they are busy going to import alliance. Im not happy about this but I figured its only 2 days since no one ships on Sundays.

Then I call on Monday and they said its still in quality control and they will ship it by Wednesday. wow!

Then I call them on Wednesday and they tell me the harness wont work with the aristo ecu I have because They can't wire it for that ecu.

WOW! Thanks a ton chasebays! You couldn't have told me that for the 5 weeks you told me it would "be done next week". And then they said it was done and ready to ship when it wasn't?

Then another person in their tech department told me that I ordered it for a 1jz ecu. I went back to double check and I didn,t. In fact I called them and talked to them in person to make sure they could make it work with that ecu and they said they could no problem.

Come on! Im not ordering from them again if they don't help me change my mind about when they say they'll deliver on something!

[TMY_DUB]

I know there already been a review about the same thing, but I have to make another one. I don't like giving bad reviews, but Im so frustrated with chasebays right now that Im going too.

Mine is also about their wiring harness service.

I ordered a wire harness for my 1.5JZ S14 about 9 weeks ago.

I ordered a 1jz harness using a jdm 2jzgte aristo ecu. I know this ecu has been used before and they told me that could do it no problem.

After 5 weeks I started calling asking on an estimated date. They said "next week". Next week comes and goes. I call them again, they say "it will be done and in quality control for sure next week". That goes on for a couple more weeks.

Then last week they tell me that the harness is done for sure and its ready to ship! But they cant ship it till the following monday because they are busy going to import alliance. Im not happy about this but I figured its only 2 days since no one ships on Sundays.

WOW! Thanks a ton chasebays! You couldn't have told me that you cant wire it with that ecu for the 5 weeks you told me you were working on it and it would "be done next week". And then they said it was done and ready to ship when it wasn't?

Then another person in their tech department told me that I ordered it for a 1jz ecu. I went back to double check and I didn't. In fact I called them when I ordered and talked to them in person to make sure they could make it work with that ecu and they said they could no problem.

Im not ordering from them again if they don't help me change my mind about when they say they'll deliver on something!

My question is, how long were they going to wait to tell me that ecu wasnt something they could do if they waited till the day they told me it would ship? Why couldnt they keep me up to date? I understand stuff happens and people get backed up on orders etc. but let me know!

I ordered a couple other small things from the previously and I was very impressed with the quality and customer service. But now I am not.

I would not recommend chasebays for any wiring services.

[enohand]

understandable to some extent.


however, this does not justify the fact that Chase & I setup specific specs on a power-steering line for my G20, (same as the 240, but 1" longer, & a 45* elbow @ the rack end) Chase said no problem...

however after waiting close to a month, the line arrives & it is your stock 240 line (19" with 2 90* bends)

i have been in talks with logan at your shop but i keep getting told i will recive a call back later that day after he speaks with chase.....i have not gotten that call back...even after calling in multiple times.

I have no problem waiting on things ....but need to be kept in the loop.

however this is keeping me from assembling my car right now & i have a 1 week old baby at home & a wife that is pissed since she has to go outside to get the kid in the car instead of going to the garage....

please see the e-mail that i sent you guys @ 10:24 am EST. today


thank you

[revcyanide]

I already cancelled my order, I May order it again once it's in stock if you still send me the coupon code that you had mentioned in an email. Otherwise I will be just welding AN fittings onto my rack and piecing together the stuff myself. I understand shit happens.

However look at PBM when something is out of stock they make note of it on their website so people don't order it and then are SOL. They also OVER-predict when things will be back in stock so stuff like this situation does not happen. That's just good buisness.

[HiI'mDustin]

Ive had quite a rough time with my chase bays harness to say the least. DO NOT BUY THEIR 240sx 2JZ-GTE HARNESS for oem ECU.

People have had fine experiences with their AEM ECU harness but do not buy a harness from them if you plan on using an OEM ecu

There is an extensive review on supra forums

[Prove It]

Well guys, My harness came in Monday. As we talked about the quality looks AMAZING. Chase did next day it for me after all said and done. I guess the real question is now will it work? I will update this tonight letting everyone know. I do hope to have a running car tonight though = )

[Prove It]

sooo went to go put my harness on today, and i found a lovely surprise. The ecu end of the harness did not match up to my 1JZ ECU. the plugs were much bigger. I come to find out it has 2jz-gte ecu plugs on the harness. I called Chase Bays and they tell me that all there 2jz / 1jz harnesses come with a 2jz ecu end. You have to run a 2JZ ECU. They claim it is on the website, but i did not see it. I am so upset, i just want my car to run. I don'y know what to do = (((

[turbociv910]

Same here, took a little longer than initially told on the harness by 4 weeks (10 weeks all together), other products were here fine and dandy. 3-6 weeks is more like 10-12 weeks i guess.

[dcdcsk8ter1]

I also have had issues with this company, i ordered a brake booster eliminator kit, which like everything else of theirs seems quite expensive, but what do you do, i think i got it about a week later which was decently normal only thing is they forgot to put in all the hardware that goes with the kit, i emailed them that same day i received the package and it took them forever to email me back i actually had to email them again a week later before they responded back and they said they would send it right out, well that was over a month ago now, and its only a matter of someone throwing some bolts and such into a large envelope and shipping it out how hard could that be, also will never buy anything from them ever again, and will never recommend anyone to them

[s14k]

Anyone else having problems when ordering anything from chasebays. I ordered a brakeline kit the 2nd of may and havent recieved it yet. When i call them the shipping people tell me its on back order and that they are having problems with there suppliers. I understand that. But why dont they post it on the website that items are on back order or send an email to their customers letting them know that stuff is backordered. last email i recieved from them was on may 2nd staiting my order was in processing. I had to call to find out what the problem was. Then the guy i talked to was a dick about it. This will be the last time i order from them

[whiterps13]

You and everybody else (or maybe just some people).

They seem to be hit and miss. There are 100 threads already about them. Go find those.

[s14k]

cool i will look around

[laocivic]

Lol oh man. Go check out my thread I did under the business review section...and add yourself to the list

[bftII40]

Wow america is starting to sound like those late night infomercials.

[Hoffman5982]

From what I've seen, if you aren't one of the major names, you get thrown to the back of the line. My best advice is to, next time, give your money to Broadfield and have him order it. You'll most likely get it the next day and with a discount...

[Hoffman5982]

Also, OP, if you're ordering the brake line relocation, order the Suspicious Garage ones from AceupMotorsports. They were the original kit that Chasebays copied and look awesome(I have them).

Suspicious Garage Brake Line Relocation kit S13/S14 - Ace Up Motorsports (http://aceupmotorsports.com/products/Suspicious-Garage-Brake-Line-Relocation-kit-S13%7B47%7DS14.html)

If it was something different, disregard this post then.

I'll let Toby chime in on this, lol.

I ordered some ground straps from them last week and they came within a couple of days. People tend to forget that Chase Bays is a really small company, despite their appearances. A lot of their stuff is done on a need by need bases in their shop, so I think they can get backed up fairly easily.

I'm not disagreeing with the OP by any means, but they are for sure a very small operation. I have had minor delays from them when I bought some of my stuff, but I think it comes with the territory. It's not going to be the same experience as ordering from a huge company like FR Sport.

Good luck with everything, OP.

[ch1873857]

its not the delays that bugged me. its the quality of their parts... and their stuff is way over priced.

also the brakeline kit isn't even functional. the proportioning valve separate the left front from the other three. not from front to back..

customer service is shit as well. ive brought issues up to them and they dont stand behind their product and the fact that they are a small business is absolutely no excuse for that.

[CamryOnBronze]

I haven't had any of the issues you mentioned, so I guess I can't really comment on that.

The only issue I had was the bolts for the booster delete being too short for my car- but they sent me longer replacements within a week. No other issues with product quality on my end, but I guess it depends on the person.

[Relentless240]

Yeah they are shit company. They took so long by the time i got the stuff and found out it had problems it had eclipsed the 6 month marker with chase bank to file a claim.
Worst company eva!!

yeah idk. like said before its a hit or miss. my buddy did the brake booster delete. he had same issues but they werent willing to help him.

my biggest problem was the power steering kit. everything leaked. well. the res cap and the high pressure rack fitting.. which is a common problem with the kit.

[Matej]

Chinese sellers on Ebay have better customer service than most of these 'Made in America' companies. :)

[Relentless240]

Lol. Thats because they are in a hurry to get rid of their knock off chet.

[jumpman2334]

wow. now that i have read this thread, i think COMPLETELY different of chase bays.

i know who i wont be giving my monies too... i thought they were a legit company too.

[s14k]

I fully understand that they are a small company and some stuff is made to order they need to let people know when shit is on back order instead of just waiting forever

[CamryOnBronze]

I fully understand that they are a small company and some stuff is made to order they need to let people know when shit is on back order instead of just waiting forever

Right, I can agree with that for sure man. I would be bummed as well.

[Chase Bays]

We had a huge mess with our fitting manufacturer keeping up with our supply. We had a huge order and were told a ETA that was not met then another ETA was given to us, that ETA was again not met. We canceled our order with them and went somewhere else and will be back in stock on most of the fittings needed for the brake lines on thursday - monday. Power steering kit fittings, and fuel line fittings im getting in daily. I know your frustration i only relay the ETA's that are given to me by our manufacturer if there is anything on our end we can do to help please let me know PM or email me directly [email protected] we are here to help not hurt.

If you have any questions or need anything else let me know.
Thanks,

Haha.... Deny deny deny! Blame everyone else jaja.. Is it me or are they always having issues with "supplier"?

[Chase Bays]

We are working with our web designer to have our inventory listed.

Hoffman5982 - Those brake line kits run through the exterior of the car our relocate the lines inside the inInterior cabin.

ch1873857- If you are still having problems let me know we have been through 3 or 4 reservoir designs from the original which did not have a baffle causing some fluid to spew out of the top. The leaking fitting varies from chassis to chassis, some just require the crush washer to be removed, some its a damaged o-ring that was damaged during the install.

If you have any questions or need anything else let me know.

Stop overpaying for these pre made sets and you will not have to worry about it.

You can easily DIY that shit for about 100 bucks.

You need:

3 M10x1.0 banjo fittings to 3 an male
JEGS Performance Products 100742 JEGS Brake Line Fitting Adapters (http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/100742/10002/-1?parentProductId=)

JEGS Performance Products 100769 JEGS Brake Line Fitting Adapters (http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/100769/10002/-1?parentProductId=)

And then measure how long you need the three lines. I believe the drivers side is about 18", passenger is about 40", rear is a little less. But MEASURE and buy premade 3an teflon lines from summit jegs, hell even ebay and be done with it. There is NOTHING special about the CB kit except its 50% overpriced.

[Pinggg]

Haha.... Deny deny deny! Blame everyone else jaja.. Is it me or are they always having issues with "supplier"?

Yeah maybe if your company keeps having "issues" with the supplier then it's time to find one that can meet your needs. It took me one month to get a small clutch line from them.

If you are relocating it, like the SG and CB kit, 40" is way too short.

[Broadfield]

My best advice is to, next time, give your money to Broadfield and have him order it. You'll most likely get it the next day and with a discount...

Well, I ordered my LS3 harness over a year ago.... I still don't have it. Is that next day enough:) Technically I got it around three months ago, but a couple things were wrong about it... so I sent it back a month ago. But unfortunately I still don't have it back... I assumed it would only take a couple man hours to fix the issue. However, originally I knew that it would take some time since it was the first LS3 one they were making. So I was at an understanding about the time frame... although I didn't think it would take quite that long.

Chase has been nothing but cool and understanding... it just takes him forever to respond sometimes. With that being said, there are far too many complaints about his business in my opinion. I would be devastated to see this many complaints about my business. I'm almost 100% positive there hasn't been any complaints on this site about the product I sell and back. I AM positive there hasn't been any complaints about my services. I bend over backwards, give away free stuff, upgrade customers for free when something isn't in stock etc. I literally search my first and last name on this site every day just to keep tabs on everything. That way if someone posts a complaint and doesn't notify me first, I can catch it that day and try to get it resolved before one little thing spreads like wildfire on this site or the internet. This is also one of the reasons I do not sell from a website with a shopping cart... every order has to come through me via email, phone, PM or text. So I can inform the customer if something is not available right then and there before they make the purchase. For my custom work I simply tell people ahead of time that it is a 2-3 month lead time. That way they can decide if they want to go through with the purchase or at least it helps them better plan for the wait on their end. And most importantly I am honest with people. If I mess up and forget to ship something, not that it really happens, I inform them of my mishap and try to upgrade them to express shipping so it gets there in basically the same amount of time. If the order was really late then I start giving away stuff or refund some money... whatever they choose and whatever it takes.

The way I see it is that 100 happy customers may tell 10 other people of their wonderful experience. Whereas 1 unhappy customer will tell 10+ people of their bad experience.

I think Chase will get all of this ironed out over time, but unfortunately customers do not like to be growing business guinea pigs.

[lflkajfj12123]

logan's a dickbag

Lmao you're going to take that Chase Bays? looooooooool

[s14k]

Issue has been resolved thanks to Logan they are in the process of updating there site to reflect back ordered items in the mean time give logan a call and ask him before ordering anything he will take good care of you.

Ive always felt if your name is not toby, chasebays doesn't give a fuck

[CamryOnBronze]

Ive always felt if your name is not toby, chasebays doesn't give a fuck

Well that's obviously a lie, because Toby's given name is Greg.

[illvialuver]

I'll let Toby chime in on this, lol.

I ordered some ground straps from them last week and they came within a couple of days. People tend to forget that Chase Bays is a really small company, despite their appearances. A lot of their stuff is done on a need by need bases in their shop, so I think they can get backed up fairly easily.

I'm not disagreeing with the OP by any means, but they are for sure a very small operation. I have had minor delays from them when I bought some of my stuff, but I think it comes with the territory. It's not going to be the same experience as ordering from a huge company like FR Sport.

Good luck with everything, OP.

Quoted for truth. Sometimes you just have to try to unerstand that companies like them get their stuff from other suppliers and then have to assemble stuff.

I am not excusing the poor customer service.

This should be number 1 on any business list. Because you can sell shit from china and have great customer service and have repeat customers, or you could make stuff in america and have shit customer service and have your good rep go out the window.

Don't feel bad I hear a lot of people even had to wait on things even a certain someone with at a major MAJOR import mag was left on the hook for months for parts from them.

[DrIvEsldEwAyS]

everytime i look theres another thread with the same problems from chase bays. they have been around long enough i would think they would have their shit together by now...

[HPKMotorsports3]

Well that's obviously a lie, because Toby's given name is Greg.

Total mind blower...

[Om1kron]

Only two pages, the ones on all of the honda forums are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY LONGER I don't understand how you can try to expand your business when you can't even take care of your base customers. Shit's mind boggling.

Also, OP, if you're ordering the brake line relocation, order the Suspicious Garage ones from AceupMotorsports. They were the original kit that Chasebays copied and look awesome(I have them).

Suspicious Garage Brake Line Relocation kit S13/S14 - Ace Up Motorsports (http://aceupmotorsports.com/products/Suspicious-Garage-Brake-Line-Relocation-kit-S13%7B47%7DS14.html)

If it was something different, disregard this post then.
lol suspicious garage out of arizona? I met the owner and he's a complete cock, not to mention the shop looked like a straight up janky shack

[homeslicej2]

Well, I ordered my LS3 harness over a year ago.... I still don't have it. Is that next day enough:) Is this why we've not seen any recent updates to your build thread? If so, shame on Chase Bays.

[Hoffman5982]

lol suspicious garage out of arizona? I met the owner and he's a complete cock, not to mention the shop looked like a straight up janky shack

Well I ordered through AceUpMotorsports, the only place that carries it, and Vitaly was completely awesome. The kit was definitely not janky

[boost addict]

Yea that kit looked good, idk if it's them but I'd assume. The impression I got though was awful

[GrimDrifter]

I definitely have had some issues with them as well, but i'm not going to plaster negativity all over the forum...yet. Some of it seems to be the same problems you guys are having. Next time if it is something that i can get from another company, I probably would do that...

[revcyanide]

Well, I ordered my LS3 harness over a year ago.... I still don't have it. Is that next day enough:) Technically I got it around three months ago, but a couple things were wrong about it... so I sent it back a month ago. But unfortunately I still don't have it back... I assumed it would only take a couple man hours to fix the issue. However, originally I knew that it would take some time since it was the first LS3 one they were making. So I was at an understanding about the time frame... although I didn't think it would take quite that long.

Chase has been nothing but cool and understanding... it just takes him forever to respond sometimes. With that being said, there are far too many complaints about his business in my opinion. I would be devastated to see this many complaints about my business. I'm almost 100% positive there hasn't been any complaints on this site about the product I sell and back. I AM positive there hasn't been any complaints about my services. I bend over backwards, give away free stuff, upgrade customers for free when something isn't in stock etc. I literally search my first and last name on this site every day just to keep tabs on everything. That way if someone posts a complaint and doesn't notify me first, I can catch it that day and try to get it resolved before one little thing spreads like wildfire on this site or the internet. This is also one of the reasons I do not sell from a website with a shopping cart... every order has to come through me via email, phone, PM or text. So I can inform the customer if something is not available right then and there before they make the purchase. For my custom work I simply tell people ahead of time that it is a 2-3 month lead time. That way they can decide if they want to go through with the purchase or at least it helps them better plan for the wait on their end. And most importantly I am honest with people. If I mess up and forget to ship something, not that it really happens, I inform them of my mishap and try to upgrade them to express shipping so it gets there in basically the same amount of time. If the order was really late then I start giving away stuff or refund some money... whatever they choose and whatever it takes.

The way I see it is that 100 happy customers may tell 10 other people of their wonderful experience. Whereas 1 unhappy customer will tell 10+ people of their bad experience.

I think Chase will get all of this ironed out over time, but unfortunately customers do not like to be growing business guinea pigs.

THIS THIS THIS.

I told them over and over again, if they can hook me up with ANYTHING to compensate me for my VERY long wait time, I would be happy to leave the order with them until its figured out. I asked them to upgrade my power steering kit to one with an oil cooler, or To sell me an oil cooler at cost, I asked them to discount the product some, I asked them if they could do ANYTHING at all.


The only thing they offered was a coupon codes for my NEXT purchase. I never received it and canceled my order, I will be designing my own power steering lines.

Frankly unless you were to offer something at cost, it's BS to give someone a coupon code off their NEXT purchase. It really only made me more upset. After waiting forever for a project, the only compensation i get is to give them more of my money, at a slight discount. Compensate me by making more profit of me? Bullshit.


I told them I would be filling a complaint with the BBB, which I plan to. The fee to fix those costs much more than a oil cooler, or refunded some of my money.


Ken at enjuku racing on the other hand was awesome (who i ordered it from) he called them every chance he got to see what was up with my order. and even though he was selling it through a third party, he STILL hooked me up with a handbrake at a stupid cheap price to compensate for my troubles. THATS how you do customer service.




The bottom line this is NOT a first for chase bays, there are multiple threads on honda tech about them, and if i recall they were banned from honda tech, but i might be wrong there.

[revcyanide]

lol suspicious garage out of arizona? I met the owner and he's a complete cock, not to mention the shop looked like a straight up janky shack

I unno who the hell you talked to or how long ago this was, but efrain is one of the nicest dudes i have ever met, goes out of his way to help people all the time.

[boost addict]

Yea efrain that was his name, couldn't remember. Met him and some buddies when I was there helping my friend move back to Scottsdale and I was in the market for finding a new shell. Figured Id look for one while I was there and I got directed to him at some meet. Didn't come off the nicest to me but it's whatever

[andrew600]

wow. i was about to order my chase bays harness and power steering set up. buuuut since all this has came to light im not going to give them my business.

[EnemyS15]

I have had some problems with orders. From wrong orders being sent out to getting LHD lines instead of my RHD ones. Never got any compensation for repeated errors and waiting, but I had good communication from Logan. I'll definitely call to make sure my item is there before placing future orders. Quality is great.

[revcyanide]

The quality of their products is great, I got a VQ swap fuel line set up that is awesome.

However after I tried to get them to work with me and fix what was fucked up, And I got nothing. I tell everyone I know to avoid them if possible.

I don't like to turn buisness away from small shops in the car community. They are what innovate parts for our cars. But at the same time, I want no one to go through what I went through.


If there was any way to make the situation right, I would be happy to go back to referring everyone I know to them, but I didn't and don't see that ever happening.

Sad really because I planned to spend another 1k through them myself.

[Tempo]

Its looking like a shitstorm for chase and his business , had no idea the service was this bad until i bumped into this review , i was about to order a harness tuck from them before the year ended on my to do list , lol seeing how it would probably take 3-4months to arrive.. im straight off this.

People practically giving their money away for quality parts and expecting them only to get nothing on time , no quality customer service or even %100 sure its the right order coming in after waiting for so long.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G

[ch1873857]

yeah it truly does suck for them. i order from a lot of different online parts sites and when i have good experiences i make it a huge point to refer other people to them. enjuku has been nothing but good to me and i send people their way all the time and the only thing it takes is GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE i don't ask for anything else.. oh well. I've found in my own business that's its more respectable to be straight up with your customers and do whatever it takes to make them happy.

[Royal13]

^^ Enjuku is definitely where its at. Ken has always kept me informed, and is quick to respond to any questions/concerns. Good customer service is a MUST

[waxball88]

And AceUp has EXCELLENT customer service. Vitaly is a great guy running a tight ship. Always available, always helpful. Not like the big guys who are too busy for the individual!

[Prove It]

Even after you get your product be scared. I plugged in my harness and my injectors are not getting pulse and no spark. Now I am going to go over everything as it may not be their fault just yet, but it is looking like may be sending my harness back to get fixed...

[DisEpyon]

you should of thoroughly checked everything to begin with. You expect damaged used old beaten up stuff to work magically with out inspection? Lesson learn, dont ever expect used parts to work properly.

But from all the negative comments about Chase bays, seems like their customer service is crap, so they can go swallow a dick and choke on some balls. Until they up their game with customer service they dont deserve pussy.

Yeah those threads were some heavy threads. At least he's sticking around trying to sort things out...

[ch1873857]

sorting things out by blaming it on a supplier? i hate excuses. if you dont have a part instock. disclose to the customer that there WILL be a wait and they will be updated as needed..

case in point GT Factory or PBM/PSM whatever...

i ordered FLCA/Tension rods back in november didnt recieve them until april and im ok with that why? because they let me know changes in the shipment etc. not to mention they keep their stock updated pretty well. so i knew there would be a wait. tis the reason why i own most of the products they sell. that. and quality. nuff said..

[tricky_ab]

Sorting it out by actually posting in the threads that bring his business practices into question. He talked all reckless and then dipped on the Honda forums for a minute.

[Hoffman5982]

And AceUp has EXCELLENT customer service. Vitaly is a great guy running a tight ship. Always available, always helpful. Not like the big guys who are too busy for the individual!

Vitaly is the man. I ordered the brake lines and didn't see the SG clutch line so I just ordered the ISIS one. He emailed me saying he upgraded me to the SG line as it was longer so that it could be relocated and it would match the brake lines, at no extra cost.

[S14kouki_10]

so chasebays sucks, ok.

[odmoht]

why cant folks be more like mr broadfield lol
cant imagine the thread on HT..

[LI NY 240sx]

I can't view the Chase Bays site from work because the category is listed as "Gambling", Haha.

I do have a few Chase Bays items on my looong list of parts to purchase. Despite all the negative reviews, I think I will still buy from them. Maybe I'll just be pressing my luck. I like to support the smaller businesses. I've waited months for parts before, so that's nothing new. It sounds like they are taking some steps to correct the issues. :2c:

[scottie]

I ordered his 300zx BMC hard line replacement hoses. I have yet to install them but they appear quality. I got them within 2 weeks of ordering.

I am not making any excuses but as a sales rep for multiple companies in the commercial business industry, I know all to well about supplier shortages. Even ones who have been doing great for decades can have hard times. And when the economy tanked no one, I mean NO ONE wanted to keep production up in case nothing was being purchased. Several times in the past 2 years lead times have nearly doubled due to lack of either personel or supplies.

Good luck to those who choose to do business with small companies. I think it's good to support small business. Just know that small business rarely have the funds to maintain overhead of stocked parts so in general you will wait a little longer for an order.

[lbs_ft]

I ordered the S13 power steering kit, and I'm satisfied with both the product and the company. When I put the order in, they sent me an email immediately letting me know that one of the parts was on backorder, and they would refund my money if I didn't want to wait.

That's what you have to understand about Chasebays and other similar companies: they don't make their own parts. They source them out from any number of individual manufacturers, and if one of those companies falls behind, Chasebays catches the flak for it.

I went to install my power steering kit, and I realized I was missing a fitting. I emailed them about the issue, and I had one in my hands in 2 days flat, free of charge. I haven't had a problem with the kit either, install was painless and I've had no leaks.

Chasebays is all good in my book, I'd recommend them to anyone.

[ch1873857]

the always make it sound like they make their own shit though... idk..

[s14k]

Im not saying the company sucks all im saying is i was never notified that my stuff was on backorder i had to call 2 weeks later to find out then had to deal with the dickhead in shipping. After talking with logan he straightened everything out and gave me $50 off the brake booster eliminator. Theg got my lines in stock today and should be sending next day or so. I really encourage people to give them a chance. They are a small company only 10 people so mass production is a little tough. They should hire more people though and get rid of the shitty suppliers they have.

[GrimDrifter]

I've ordered a simple part 5 weeks ago and have not received said item. I beleive it is a common part and I've wrote several emails and tried to contact them over and over. It sucks that they have nice parts on their website, and I've eventually gotten everything else I've ordered from them but to just blatantly ignore me over and over again.... Even if they said hey we're having problems, or the pafrt is on back order, or anything at this point would be better than what it is now. Important fairly close to calling my CC company and put in for a dispute for said item. I could have ordered it somewhere else and probably should have.

[thefro526]

Does anyone have experience ordering custom wires from them for battery relocation, etc? Was looking into getting two 4Ga lines... But I don't want to wait forever.

[Beejis60]

From what I've seen, if you aren't one of the major names, you get thrown to the back of the line.

Ya, this has always been chase's deal; if it's not for a magazine or you're not one of his boys, he's not in a hurry. I know someone that ordered a harness from him; 8 months later, still nothing, meanwhile he's posting on forums and other stupid shit.

[Broadfield]

Does anyone have experience ordering custom wires from them for battery relocation, etc? Was looking into getting two 4Ga lines... But I don't want to wait forever.

You do realize you can just go to your local audio store, like me, and buy the 4 gauge by the foot. If it's like the stuff I carry(IXOS) it will be even higher quality anyway. Then simply buy the crimp-on o-rings from the same audio store. This way you can cut it to the exact length you desire and then crimp on the ends. Let me know if you need some 4 gauge... 1,862 solid copper strands, each strand individually zinc plated, very high current flow and very, very flexible.

Hope Chase Bays improves their customer relations, because I would like to order their brake/clutch master cylinder setup this week.
Is anyone on here using it?

Though I've run that BMC in the past without an issue (and due to much ignorance), a few friends that track their cars with that setup absolutely HATE it. Popping pistons in them frequently. Plus, with a single piston BMC, that is BEYOND dangerous if you ever blow a line or pop the piston. At least get a dual piston BMC or two separate single piston BMC setup.

[Matej]

That sounds like I would rather just keep the brake booster. Perhaps I will turn it upside down and run vacuum hose through the cabin. :)

However, does anyone offer a 'tucked' brake line kit that can be used with the stock BMC and rear brake bias valve?

[daftphunk]

The bigger problem here then is about consistency. You can't please everybody, but you can at least try to.

You can do it yourself and you will learn a lot along the way. If you want braided line, just buy a bunch of the appropriate line, get the proper fittings for that line, and go to town. For example, I have only used Earls in the past to build brake lines, so you need Speed Flex hose and Speed Seal fittings. Obviously it's a bit more expensive to use the braid versus hardline, but you have the added benefit of not having to buy tools AND you don't to bend and flare the hard line.
Wilwood does make a dual piston BMC and they also have a pedal setup with two single-piston BMCs for front and rear activation; both of these setups are a safer option if you're wanting an aftermarket BMC. Alternatively, you can run banjos off your stock BMC, maybe sand/machine off all the raised lettering to make it look all "cool" or whatever.

The bigger problem here then is about consistency. You can't please everybody, but you can at least try to.

Chase has been getting these sort of complaints for a few years now (re: dude not getting harness for 8 months). He's not even trying at this point.

Is it the same dual piston Wilwood that Chase Bays uses?
Chase Bays Brake Booster Eliminator w/ Dual Outlet Master Cylinder - Universal - ChaseBays.com (http://www.chasebays.com/product/universal/chase-bays-brake-booster-eliminator-w-dual-outlet-master-cylinder)

On their website it says that the 1" bore is not recommended for a 240SX. However, if I will be running bigger brakes, will it be fine? I know that many people switch to the 1" and 17/16" 300ZX BMC's when upgrading to Z32 or bigger brakes. Also, are the Wilwood master cylinders valved differently, so as not to require as much pedal effort as the factory cylinder would without the brake booster?

Is the OEM BMC dual or triple piston? On the Wilwood I would need to tee the front brakes off the first chamber. Does the stock setup tee both front brakes off the same chamber (just internally instead of externally), or does it actually feature a separate chamber for each line?

Perhaps I should have started a new topic for this. My apologies for cluttering up the thread.

You have to understand that manual brakes require a smaller diameter BMC than vacuum-assist. Assuming that you ran bigger brakes with a brake booster and you liked that setup, why not just stick with it and run braided lines yourself if you wanna tuck it or whatever? Manual brakes do require more pedal effort so you should have some muscle in your legs or you probably won't like it. My feelings on the shaved/tucked crap is it's just a pain in the ass to fuck with it if anything goes wrong though.
As for the BMC, that's Wilwood product I was speaking of. I would think 1" is feasible if you have eight pistons up front and four in back vs four pistons around the entire car... Plus, do you REALLY want to take advice from Chase at this point if you're already having doubts? I believe I ran 3/4" BMC on a four piston setup (one on each corner) on an 1800lb car and the factory BMC with vacuum-assist was 1", if that helps. Don't remember the piston diameters of my brake calis though.

:confused: OEM BMC is a dual piston; never heard of a triple piston bmc, but I'm no super extreme brake expert. As for valving on a BMC, it depends on the car and manufacturer specs; Nissans have the prop valve built in to the BMC so, for example, if you change to Wilwood dual piston BMC, you will have full-on front and rear without an adjustable prop valve inline with the rear line(s).

[speedracer5]

bwhahahah faaaaaaaaaaaaaak i should of read this post well atleast it wasnt a harness i ordered and just the powersteering kit. wish me luck guys lol. ordered today 06 20 2012 at around 2:00

[speedracer5]

Ill keep update here as well on the p/s when it comes in

[ShadowDrifter]

I have the power stearing kit I havn't installed but for people saying it got bad reviews and leakes I have never seen that happen and if its from the fittings put a little sealer up top and you should be fine ( should put sealer anyway even if they are -an fittings)

[Farzam]

My friend has a car sponsored by them and he told me they had good work. So when I saw their booth at a car show the other day, I had to go speak with em. I chatted with em for a bit and showed one of the guys up there my car a few booths down, he was pretty stoked on it...it's a rarity to find companies that actually care about your project. I ended up buying some products from them they had at the show and got some neat stickers and a lanyard. They seemed knowledgable, interesting, and reasonably intelligent.

They told me to call them when I want the rest of what I need and they'd take care of me...I might take em up on that offer.

[MELLO*SOS]

Ordered a 240sx LHD power steering tank relocation kit on 7-15.

Been waiting for over a month now with weekly emails back and forth, still no parts.

Will update after Sept 1st.

[jr_ss]

Any other waits? I want to order a S13 sr to s14 chassis harness, and even though I'm 3 months away from returning from deployment, my build can't wait that long for the harness. I need it in about a month. :/

I ordered my harness a few weeks ago regardless of the lead time. I understand things take time, especially quality and sophisticated work like theirs. Would I want it sooner? Of course. Is it going to kill me to wait a week or a month longer, not really. People have to take into consideration these delays/lead times and order these things accordingly. Do not wait until the last minute to get it ordered when you need your car on the road yesterday.

[turbociv910]

Yeah but they tell you 4-6 weeks and takes 10-12. Of course people are going to ask questions.

[eastslider]

I ordered a s14 SR20 harness from them instead of wiring specialties because it looks 3x better but nothing on it works right a/c doesnt work, temp gauge doesnt work, rpm doesn't work, they wired the loom for the m64 plug wrong so i can't lock it in with the plastic lever..... i wanted a re-fund and they want a 90$ re-stocking fee "15% of the order". Why should i have to pay a re-stocking fee when they wired it all wrong???? I'm so angry and this is b.s. I don't want to get the harness fixed cause I'm gonna be waiting possibly half a year to get it back..... you guys do your self a favor and believe all the negative posts of chasebays. they practically scam me for 90$ "15% of the order" if i choose to get a re-fund.:bs:
But i should just give Chasebays another chance because he said he will pay for the shipping of the item but wait for a unknown deadline and they keep taking in new work.....

To give them more of a positive review
I had purchased a harness through a friend and it was a chasebays harness
its never been started.
I haven't started it yet, it will be in January
but I had a few issues with extra plugs and things not matching up but they were great in replying back to my emails and phone calls and made their best effort to help me
sent a plug diagram and layout and even stayed on the phone with me and my friend while we attempted to figure it all out for about an hour or two. Not sure if the harness works yet but from what I'm reading their customer service has deffinetly improved drastically.

Do not wait until the last minute to get it ordered when you need your car on the road yesterday.

Wiring specialties sells the fancy loomed harness just like chase bays. And there's are usually pre made and in stock not made to order...

[eastslider]

I just hope to get my refund.

[PIN GIO 2]

I just hope to get my refund.

you wont get refund same happened to me issue with Power Steering Kit leak really bad fluid anywhere on engine bay. they gave me 15% of the order. now i wont deal business with chase bays anymore :sadwavey:

[eastslider]

I hope i get my refund they are a PROFESSIONAL business. otherwise i should have just ordered a wire harness from a street thug framping away only wanting to double up $$$ 15% is there cut for me wanting out, they better not keep the 85%.

PIN GIO 2: what is your story? how come you couldn't get a refund of 85%? It is okay for a business to charge a percent for a custom order return no matter what according to the BBB. I want my 85% of what I paid and whats done has been done. I'm kind of worried now...............................

[nissan2787]

i just ordered a chase bays harness for my 1jz s13. i must say that the guys over there have helped me out alot. responding to every email and every phone call. Justin is a great guy and when product was ordered we went the the harness thoroughly. i think people just think that a harness that nice should take 1 day to make. he told me 4-8 weekks and it took 8 weeks on point. im building a car and we are in no rush. if you need a full custom loomed harness. then these are you guys. i never understand why people bash companies when you want there product but it didnt work for you. people do make mistakes everytime but you just dont here about it. Firestone has wheel off all the time lol. still the best place to get street tires. wiring specialties is down the street from my house but im not paying 800 for a oem loomed harness for my race car. cant do it. i mean compare the 2 harnesses for the price. cant be beat. just keep up to date with your purchase when you oreder i guess and try not to be rude. waiters still spit in peoples food you knwo just saying. lmao even has ordered from them Broadfield.and he takes pride in his work.

[eastslider]

Yes chase bays is easy to contact and talk to and will answer any questions you have. the harness looks amazing but my car is not a track car and will never see the track because there's no track on Oahu, i want OEM function. And i understand that shit takes time and when you rush the technician things don't always come out how it should be because of stress and frustration. I just feel like poop about the outcome and I don't want to stress chase bays or myself. I hope the next time i check this forum in the future i see all good reviews and customers taking pics of there engine bay so people can see the cleanliness that the harness did to the engine bay aesthetically.

[eastslider]

oh but for the wheel off thing at firestone you cant blame the company but you could blame there procedure but it comes down to the lube tech forgetting safety....

you my dear friend is how people should think . instead people just bash companies without thinking about these things. you might not have a race track but my sister was stationed in oahu and ive been there shits nice. they still have that big mall and the dole plantation?

Wiring specialties sells the fancy loomed harness just like chase bays. And there's are usually pre made and in stock not made to order...

They do? Show me where on their site they have braided sleeving. Pre-made is a dead give away. ChaseBays is a made to order item regardless of what they say. You have to wait 4-8weeks for a pre-made harness? Get real, they are made to order, this keeps capital and overhead costs down.

I've used Wiring Specialties for my first SR swap harness. It worked great after Yuri and I spent time on a mis-pinned fuel pump wire. They offer/have great service, and I'm not going to take anything away from them. However, I was looking for more and Wiring Specialties doesn't have that.

As far as I've seen, Wiring Specialties has the typical convoluted sleeving based on the website information. They do not have braided sleeving, nor do they offer the Milspec plug. I also needed a custom harness for my VET, which I'm sure Yuri could've done, but ChaseBays was my decision based on the other factors stated above.

Regardless, my statement stands true, one cannot contact ChaseBays and expect to have a show quality harness yesterday, because one was to ignorant to order it ahead of time.

If you need something yesterday, contact Yuri at Wiring Specialties and get it. If you want show quality, ChaseBays is the way to go. Just be prepared to wait up to 2-3months.

[801nismo104]

Chasebays just needs to crank up the speed. I ordered a power steering line and after 2 and a half weeks of waiting I called them and they said they are not in stock untill probably next week. I was pissed because I emailed them before I bought it and they told me it was in stock just needed to be assembled which would only take a few days. They refunded my money with no problems though

Got it in a monthly email this month saying they now offer a braided loomed harness. If you want a Milspec made to order professional harness I would personally go with Jordan Innovations for that one.

I'd try again, I'm sure he gets bombarded with PM's everyday. Last time I tried to send him a message his inbox was full. He may have just overlooked it.

Just to clarify I was not in anyway bashing ChaseBays, I like all there products they just have 50/50 reviews. I've used Yuri 4 different times and I've really never read about a bad experience from him, they've always worked although they weren't pretty and fancy like the ones chasebays sell.

Again, I am not bashing or saying anything negative about them. Just from all the things I've read they are hit or miss.

My harness has long since been ordered and is due to be delivered Monday or Tuesday of this coming week. I knew it was going to be a long lead time and infact, it has been longer than Justin told me it would be. I ordered my harness at the beginning of Sept and it is now the beginning of Dec, and no harness yet. Oh well, I knew the lengthy time it would take.

I'll report back

[nissan2787]

yeah my harness took about 8 weeks to arrive but this i knew. it says it on the website lol

[jimefam]

Just to add to this I had Chase bays make me a custom engine and chassis harness for my drag RB and have had nothing but problems. The majority were just stupid errors that were pretty glaring like my transbrake switch being wired into the haltech but no signal wire out the the transbrake solenoid. But now that I finally got all these little mistake figured out I go to get the motor ready for the engine dyno this week and begin to test everything all out, guess what? These "professionals" wired the haltech wideband controller through the ecu instead of separately. So the power it draws to heat two O2 sensors up fried my haltech ecu less than two minutes after turning the ignition on to begin testing and calibrating sensors.

If after reading these 4 pages and countless others on other forums you decide to do business with them you deserve what is coming to you. Stay Away there are good companies out there no need to gamble on our cars.

[Prove It]

Chase bays killed my hopes and dreams. Glad this thread is still going on. I talked to a gu with a 1jz e36 and he had a chase bays harness. We talked about how he too had problems and we don't know how they are still in business. Death to chase bays

[cchondro]

yeah my harness took about 8 weeks to arrive but this i knew. it says it on the website lol

Did your 1jz harness work
and did you have any extra plugs left over ??
I have a couple plugs left over that don't match up with my harness

[nissan2787]

some split years have different sensors so they wire both sometimes and the extra plugs are probaly for front and rear downpipe upper and lower oxygen sensor and the others are for hydro fan setup and shit. youll be fine. if you want the have the install guide up. chasebays.com/install-guides

[DamianN.]

This is my first time ordering from Chase Bays.

Beginning of December (Dec. 7th to be exact) I ordered a replacement high pressure power steering hose. Mine is leaking like crazy but luckily I don't drive much. I figured ordering it at the beginning of the month would be ample time for them to ship it and I could install it before my trip. I was planning on a long drive to LA at the end of December with my girlfriend and I did not want to keep pouring money into my power steering and it leaking on to my engine.



1st call: After the first week of order status still saying processing.They told me that they were waiting on the end fittings and it should be shipped mid of the next week. Told the guy "cool no problem."

2nd call: Week 2. Guy asked me for my name to look up the order number. He told me he was having problems with his internet and he needed to call me back. So I gave him my name and cell number.

3rd call: Same day in the afternoon after giving up on the waiting for the guy to me call back. No answer. Message said that they are helping other customers and leave a message. Okay I will wait a few minutes.

4th call: No answer. I will call back in a 30 minutes.

5th call: No answer. So I left a message this time with my name, order info, and my phone number (repeated a couple times) and asked them to please send me some kind of update.

How could this have gone better? Send a simple update saying something like sorry but your order is still delayed. Hang in there and we will keep you updated.

It is now the end of the month and I went ahead a canceled the drive to LA.

I totally understand if the company is busy with all the orders from the wives buy their husbands car parts. It would just be great to hear that they are busy but my order is not forgotten. I do know how to wait when I know what to expect. Hell I waited 3 months for a JIC Bullet exhaust system but they told me this from the start.

Lesson learned: Call before ordering or just order from my good friend Enjuku.



Happy Holidays

[801nismo104]

I too canceled my power steering line order from them and ordered one from enjukuracing instead. Enjuku even overnighted it to me for free. Their awesome. No bullshit

[florante rea]

Guys next time check rywire... Chasebays is not the only one selling 240 parts.

[EnemyS15]

So I've ordered a couple of chase bay items and it seems like I ran into an issue with them.
Ive ordered :
Power steering line with OIL COOLER
Brake line kit
Booster delete
and now Tucked radiator with dual fans
Clutch line

I ordered a tucked radiator from them. I got the item within a timely manner, no probs there. My issue is with the radiator itself. I paid a pretty penny for it and included the dual fans. So I got it and it was perfect shape. What i noticed is 2 things.

1. The 2 flanges on the side needed to be 1/2 inch longer so if I wanted to use OEM mounting points, I could. I had to drill holes into the frame to mount. The holes were close to the edge of the flange and on the edge of the metal frame, where I mounted.

2. The flanges were not pre-drilled or slotted. Now I was able to make due with the help of my dad and his drill setup @ his shop. But if I was someone without this resource I would be screwed and would have to find something. If someone wanted to install and go, it would be delayed. I really feel that if someone was to order a pricy item, such as this. This should have been taken care as part of assembly for the item so that it is a true "BOLT IN" and hassle free item.

Ive had my snags and such with items and shipping and delays. But I was on top of my game and they were too. Hopefully the fellas @ chasebay understands where I am coming from, being a consumer, and add these 2 features for their radiators. Some consumers are not as mechanically inclined or such so I can only imagine their frustration with this.

[K_style]

So, I am not the only one having an issue with Chase Bays for the order.

I dealt with Justin and I ordered Brake lines for my S14. It was trade deal with my Head gasket + $.

Payment was sent November 27th 2012.

I was told following

That kit has to be assembled in the warehouse and will ship out directly from there. Normal turn around time is 3-5 business days however with the influx of orders from the black friday sales it may be a bit longer! I will keep you updated as often as I am on it though for sure.

Of course I can understand they are very busy after Thanksgiving week. But never though it will take much more than a few weeks.

I gave a couple of weeks and asked Justin for the status and he told me there is nothing he can do since it's warehouse that sends out the item not him. Also he told me he will send me the tracking # as soon as he gets from warehouse.

I gave another week, same answer from him. there is "Nothing" he can do and he also offered money back. I would take the money back if I didn't need the brake lines. I was disappointed with their sales tactics or their customer care service.

I sent PM yesterday

Justin,

I have not received the tracking # yet.
I am hoping you can get this shipped out right away.

My car is sitting on jack stand without brake lines and I can't drive my car when I need to.

This has been more than 1 month since I spoke to you and your told me you guys are backed up with Thanksgiving order.

How could it takes more than a month when it usually takes 3~4 days to get it out?

Your reply like last time which you said you can issue an refund for it. But that's not what I want.

You already have head gasket I sent also I sent you $ for the difference to get brake lines from you.

Please send my brake lines as soon as possible.

I am starting to believe that you are not top of the orders you take from customers, or is it just me because my order is not as important as other customers?

Hope to hear back from you.

And this is answer I got from Justin

Today is our first day back in the office from christmas break. Nothing has changed since the last time we spoke. The warehouse will reopen tuesday of next week and things will start shipping again. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me!

No changes, no updates, no products.

Does it really take over a month to assemble and ship item?
Does sales person really can't do anything for the order they took?

I will maybe happy with their product if I receive it. But I am not very happy at all with their customer service nor their order process.

[DamianN.]

Mr. Nelson,
We apologize about the delay. We did attempt to give you a call back this past friday before we closed for the christmas holiday. I know that doesn't fix the delay however I just wanted you to know this. As for the delay in the hose fitting this was something we did not see when your order was made and we apologize for that. It's great that this product is that popular but I know it puts some customers in a bad place by not having it in a timely manner. With all that being said let us know what we can do for you! All of these backordered items should start shipping next week when our warehouse opens again. In fact why don't you PM me your details and I can get something a little extra in the box for you since this delay has caused you some issues!

Thanks,

Really? :ddog:

[G5SR20240]

It seems like chase bays needs to work on having a constant stock notification online, to me it seems like they dont want to make the end consumer know if fittings are not in stock in fear of losing the sale. But at the same time are getting negative feedback for not being informational with their consumers. It can be busy but using that as an excuse for bad customer service is bad business. Expect business to be exponentially more during the holidays and bring in temps to keep up with demand.

[Ramonesfreak2010]

I ordered the Power Steering kit from them. I received it about a week after ordering it. Great.

Couple problems:
1. The high pressure line fitting is all fucked up. I couldn't hand thread the line unto the fitting thats on the pump. I had to use a wrench to begin threading it.

2. It leaks like a bitch from the actual reservoir. There is always ATF on the top of the cap. I also see a pin hole. My friend has the kit as well and there is always ATF all over the cap.

Other than that, shipping was fine for me.

[JonathanPrem]

I placed a order for Fuel line kit beginning of the month and still no fuel line. Ordered through Enjuku and 1 week after i get my stuff and no fuel line email them and said they there are getting the fitting as we type. Been 2 weeks since then and still no line or tracking #.

Should at least inform the customer or update the site with turn around times. One item that is putting my engine build to full stop

[tamil_tuner_S13]

i ordered the power steering kit through enjuku like over a month ago and haven't received it yet. i have been told by enjuku that chase bays is taking a while to get their products ready, no eta on when i will receive it as well.

should inform customers of the eta time instead of making us wonder where our parts are

Agreed^^
I ordered a hydro ebrake a while ago. Wasn't informed it was on back order until I emailed them after I had not received it in a months time.

[nissan2787]

So I installed my chase bays harness yesterday. Actually that's how I brought in the New Years lol and installed it on my 1jz s13 using a 2jz ecu. And I got my car running all is well. It starts and idles. Will update later on warm start and driving. Bra the harness looks awsome and definetly serves its purpose. I also had them make a sign on the harness that say custom made for me and it shits right on top of the valve cover in the back. Perfect placement. Ill keep you guys updated!

[tamil_tuner_S13]

so what's the eta on power steering kit?

[s13_maJiK]

Email me some more details on this. I am not aware of any hydro ebrakes on backorder with us at all.

Thanks,
[email protected]

I was speaking of my experience I had early 2012. I already contacted who I needed to and got everything straightened out. Just wanted to provide constructive criticism for later orders, in the event they get backed up.

[onlydrinkkoolaid]

Chasebays is very unique and frustrating case because I work in customer service and specifically in the auto industry where people already have their guard up about the type of service they will receive. There is no nice way of putting it but this company is run by guys who are greedy and choose to work exponentially above the shop capacity to produce quality work and service. Obviously, I have my own bad experience with Chasebays 1jz harness service from the time frame till the harness being pinned incorrectly and there really is no need to go in to detail because I'm pretty sure others can attest to what I'm saying. In my humblest opinion, I think this company has the talent to produce quality and quick service but there execution is completely incorrect. It's better to take care of 10 people really well then take care of 20 people half ass and have a whole damn review section dedicated to the lack of attention to detail you guys seem to display with your products and customer service and yes I'm still waiting to receive my harness again.

[EnemyS15]

Still wondering if they are going to acknowledge my post regarding their tucked radiator and the issues I ran into when I went to install.

[slideslidegnarslide]

I wanted to order chase bays stuff. Rb/ into s13 harness brake lines clutch line and power steering resivior. But this thread has fully turned me off to this idea. The thought of paying top dollar for a harness to come in wrong is crazy. I don't want to wait 3 months then find that I have to fix 7 problems with it. It almost seems as if every harness that goes out is wrong. Oh well good luck guys. You make rad products just to afraid of the horror stories.

[hockeyrules]

Ordered an S13SR harness and well see how this goes!

Look into wiring specialties or jordan innovations, I took them the car and it took them over 3 months to make me a harness which was wrong anyways. Hooked it up and I blew my ecu and has set me back more months. Keep this thread up at the top.

[94vert]

wow is it just me or does chase bays need more employees. they seem like they are always behind with no end in sight. hire more hands and get the product out faster its that simple.

[caglej]

called a few days ago about an adapter i was missing for my brake line kit.

hoping to get it tomorrow. anytime i've ordered something directly through the company, it is always missing something.

order their stuff through enjuku, no issues. odd.


Edit - ended up getting the adapter that day!

[BlewByYou]

Ordered a Rb25 S14 harness from them, not one issue. 2 week turnaround time and Justin is bad ass!! Thanks guys..

[revcyanide]

it's good to see I cancelled my build and didn't try to order more parts from this company. My experience with them was horrible and I try to let everyone I know to never buy anything from chase bays. Their customer service was shitty too and after making me wait for 3-4 months for a part they refused to give me any sort of discount on it, just a "here's 10% off your next order"

Yeah like I would buy anything from there again.

it's sad too, I was planning on dropping about 2000 to chase bays for my swap, if they had tried harder to make things right they would have made a lot more money off of me. However since they didn't I got my refund through Enjuku and make sure to drive any business I can away from them, so far I have talked 7 people out of getting screwed over. I'd say that's another 4-5k worth of sales I turned away. All because they couldn't make my transaction right.

Ken @ enjuku felt bad and gave me a GREAT deal on a ton of other parts I needed. It wasn't even his fault but he made it right.

Here's a few screenshots if you want to post them up on your site lol:

First one is them confirming my pick up of my car which had been at their shop over a month at this point getting my harness done. They had my whole car so I had to drive over there from my house in ga(about 3 hrs) with my 24' enclosed trailer. Well when I get there guess what? Car wasn't even 25% done, you would think they would have told me before wasting 6+ hours of my time.
http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Jimefam/Screenshot_2013-03-05-22-41-28_zps93d71cf3.png

Next up they promise up and down that the car will be ready by the following week.
http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Jimefam/Screenshot_2013-03-05-22-42-07_zps30f15099.png

Here he is on the day the car is supposed to be done(for like the 3rd time) and he still doesn't even understand how multiple things need to be done. Keep in mind when I dropped the car off a month and a half earlier we spent over an hour just going over all the sensors solenoids etc that needed to be wired up.
http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Jimefam/Screenshot_2013-03-05-22-42-41_zpse2f3fbe3.png

After I explain it "makes sense to him now" so I can pick it up the following day. I tell him fuck it I've waited long enough I'll terminate whatever just run the wires I'll get the connectors on.
http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Jimefam/Screenshot_2013-03-05-22-43-50_zps0caccc49.png

So another month goes by! Has had the car and wiring and every single thing he could need for almost 3 months now and guess what??? He's still staring at the nitrous harness baffled by it lol. Problem is he "forgot" to put the nitrous into the harness so after paying all that money for a custom mil spec harness what did they do? Run the wires for the nitrous outside of the milspec connector(no more pins since he didn't account for it) and wanted to give me the harness with the nitrous wires literally lose and unsheathed or heat shrinked or anything.
http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Jimefam/Screenshot_2013-03-05-22-45-16_zps5611dd6f.png

With this one I had been told the harness was sent next day on monday the 25th since I had already had to pick up the car as the chassis shop was needing it bad when I picked up the car everything was "supposedly" done. Guess what though the harness was missing the nitrous part so it went back.
http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Jimefam/Screenshot_2013-03-05-22-47-39_zps31cd9e27.png

He tells me that I will receive it in two days(after having been lied to the past two days that it had gone out and was just waiting for a tracking #). "Everything is exactly how you need it and how you requested it" LOL guess what? After I get it the nitrous still isn't routed through the milspec connector(he apparently was never able to figure it out so decided to say fuck it and send it all unfinished) and the first time I hook it up to use it it blows my haltech cause multiple things are wrong with the wiring lol. This is what Chasebays is all about and a few hand picked reviews cant cover up this thread and the many others like it on other forums.

I have there Harness and Ordered there clutch line and brake line kit should be here this week. Everything is made to order. You can't make something an let it set on the shelf bc 98% of there products are custom made for YOUR specific application!

Edit: Lines came in way early!!

^ Lucky.

I ordered mine two and a half weeks ago and still dont have them. I couldnt remember how crappy the lead time was for their product. Had I remembered I would have went a different route.

[BlewByYou]

Ordered mine 2/21/13 all orders went out the 8th. You most likely will get it this week bud. Its worth the wait trust me ^_^

[hockeyrules]

I got my harness, took roughly two months. Look good, but who knows if it will fire up

[slideslidegnarslide]

I was really avoiding them but I couldn't find any other brake lines. I ordered them a while ago still haven't received. But I'm not surprised , they are just really holding me up

[teddyjr]

I ordered the tucked radiator for my RB into S14 project on Thursday March 21. I checked with customer service before ordering and was assured that the build-to-order radiators take 2 weeks in most instances and there's not a black hole because they track orders very well whether busy or not. I hope I have a good story to tell because I'm really stoked about this radiator config for my car. Lots o' room in front of the RB for some pullers so I can keep my A/C and all. Stay tuned Zilvians and I hope wiring guy ^ gets good harness news early next week. Hope he really didn't get laughed at. If so I hope you got his name!

[nickauger]

Well, I've ordered an my Engine harness 11/01/2013 and my harness is still not completed ! They told me the normal running time is 4-6 week . Now i'm at 11 week including this week. They don't gave me any news and i'm still waiting...

I've ordered a standard harness (sr20det in 240sx 91-93)

[jr_ss]

Anyone ordering a harness from ChaseBays needs to understand that it is not a 6wk wait regardless of what they tell you. I waited 13wks for mine, then I had to send it back to them for some minor changes.

[jr_ss]

minor changes as in what ? i just ordered a standard sr harness

I have a custom harness from them because I am running a VET motor. Therefore, I had extra plugs that a standard SR will not have. They needed to be lengthened and I had some plugs changed to utilize the correct sensors I had purchased for my Haltech PS2000. Turn around time was a week.

[tengo240]

cleared up everything with will , i am more than happy with chase bays and feel like it was def money well spent .

[lewisfk]

Just ordered my wiring harness s13-s13 from them today. I was told 4-6 weeks from Will. The convo was great and I'm looking forward to my first Chase Bay product!

[teddyjr]

Well, I got my tucked radiator, billet filler neck/cap and twin fans Tuesday. It took less than two weeks. They were all over my order and Matt called me, sent me the invoice and then the tracking number. Chase Bays is aces-up for this builder! Will order again. Oh, and they left the tabs longer on the rad mount. These are high quality parts. - Tucked Teddy Jr.

[BlewByYou]

Bump for another success here. Ordered a set of Z32 to S chassis Brake Lines, Ls2 Coil Harness for my Rb on 04/05/2013 Received 04/10/2013.. Again Top quality as always.

Chasebays mods:
Rb Harness
Clutch Line
Brake line kit
Z32 Caliper line kit
Ls2 Coil Harness
More to Come in the Future!

[nickauger]

im assuming you mean 2012, anyway i called today and they are still waiting on maf plugs ,same thing its been for the last three weeks , they told me my harness is done just needs the maf plug then qc then shipped , i curious as to how i ordered mine in january and you ordered yours in november but mine is "done" . i understand things take time but a decent time frame would help and not getting the same bs excuse would be cool .

I've ordered mine the 11 january 2013 ! I receive it in the mail today ! I open the box and harness look really nice and they give me an extra engine ground !

[ZacKisBacK_Fr]

Asked them about the split point and reducing ratio of their Brake boooster eliminator master cylinder and never heard anything back from them.. they told me they would ask to wilwood and then, no more reply... So I'll find another vendor that knows what the products they sell are and how do they work!

[tengo240]

harness wont start ,had it looked over by a wiring friend of mine and found 3 clips pinned wrong . im just taking the car to rt tuning to get it fixed , would rather pay them to do it than wait for chasebays to "fix" it .im gonna miss the whole summer now.

i was so hype to drive this car , i looked at the harness and just instantly thought ,"this looks chinsy" plug it all in , check evrything about 10 times ,then nothing , i look over the harness with a friend and most of the plugs are loosly pinned ,my ecu clip tightens crooked and my ect plug was wrong, i was told by chasebays to "sand the clip on themotor to make it slip on".wtf ,if rt tuning comfirms its a bad harness im gonna have chasebays pay for it .im lost as what else they will really do for me ,i dont wanna wait months for them to fix it, i waited months just to get it .i am gonna miss all the events this year. i paid almost 650 bucks for this thing.

[nickauger]

After 4 month waiting ! I received my harness with wrong chassis plug ... the one I need is brown and I received a white one . The ECT plug do not match the sensor and it have the wrong connector for the knock sensor.

[QUOTE=nickauger;5255551]After 4 month waiting ! I received my harness with wrong chassis plug ... the one I need is brown and I received a white one . The ECT plug do not match the sensor and it have the wrong connector for the knock sensor.

wich chassis and motor did you order yours for? mine came with the wrong ect plug aswell , when i started my car its also throwing my injectors all kinds of fucked up signals. called them they send to send it back and they would look at it , im super bummed , im thinking about having jordan innovations take a look at it first , chase bays told me and i quote "we qc our harnesses for the most part and they are somewhat universal" WTF? does that mean , somewhat? universal?

[tengo240]

they also told me to "sand the ect plug to match" , now im faced with send it back and have them fix it and wait god knows how long or pay someone else to fix it . either way chasebays hasnt answered the phone the last two times i called ,ive installed alot of harnesses in my day ,and i know my motor is good ,i removed my oem harness ,put theres on and bam all of a sudden my motor is acting all fucked up , sounded like i had a huge vacuum leak, dumpped a ton of fuel and flooded my motor,idk what to do at this point , i feel bad for your nick cause i bet you were just as hype as i was for it . what a let down.
p.s. the black sleeving on my harness looks like something chewed it at one point at a small spot.

[nickauger]

My car was running like shit after installing there harness and I found that they have miss matched the mass air flow signal wire with ground wire !!! It take me 1 complete day to troubleshoot this trouble.

After reading most of these reviews. Guess I'm not gonna order from chasebays again and will look at other companies. No need for someone to waste my time. Sorry for the trouble everyone is having. They got me one time with my cm1 harness. Waited 14 weeks and then Car still wouldn't start. Got fed up with it and sold everything.

do what you want but i will say that they are a incredibly lousy company , i got a standard sr harness , put it on and car acts like complete shit , i put on my friends wiring specialties harness and it is fine , doesnt really get anymore cut and dry than that , so i sent the harness back to chasebays to be rechecked , they say its fine ,,,,, i find it hard to believe ,not only that but after they tell me my harness is fine i try to tell them i dont want it back cause i dont wanna have the same shit happen , they agree , at 40% re stocking fee?!!?!?!

im just getting it back and sending it to jordan innovations to get fixed , you should look into wiring specialties or jordan innovations , esspecially for a custom harness , chasebays cant seem to get standard shit right , and on top of that they could give a fuck less about helping you in the future.

wiring specialities did make my harness for my rb25 s1 after the factory one shorted it out... Plug and play worked flawlessly...may check and see what they have

[tengo240]

got my harness back , bare wire is still there , and the maf now only has 3 wires in a different order, hopefully it works now , they said there was nothing wrong with it but they definetly rewired the maf , i would like them to just say yes or no to it being fucked up , that way i atleast know of other things to try (like a different harness)

I still have yet to be screwed over or disappointed by them. I bought a CM2 harness back in Sept. from them and it has gone back twice now because of changes or modifications needed to the harness because of MY custom setup, NOT because of an issue on their end.

put the harness back on and car is still acting up , i dont know what to do , my maf worked when i parked the car , everything else is showing good. i got the harness back with 3 wires now on the maf , could they have fried my ecu when i had it hooked up with the four wire plug they first sent me? i dont know what to do now .

You need to host your images on another site then use the image icon at the top of the message box tool bar to link them here.

http://240atlanta.com/downloads/fsm_pinout/maf.gif

There are only 3 wires for the factory SR MAF as seen above... Get a multimeter out and verify they run to the correct spot on the ECU. You'll need an FSM for this. They(ChaseBays) cannot hold your hand here. You need to be able to diagnose these things to relay back to Chasebays when there is an issue.

I understand your frustration and I also understand that there shouldn't be an "issue" with a harness you just spent big bucks on. However, shit does happen, people build these things and they aren't perfect. Mistakes happen. So lets start a thread in the Tech section where there is more traffic so people like myself and others can help you sort this out.

[nickauger]

From left to right (on the wiring side off the plug ) you must have skinny red, black, bigger red

black wire is always in the center

So the car runs?
it was idleing kindashitty but its probly cause the plugs are all covered with carbon from when it was wired wrong , im gonna put in new plugs ,change the oil and see how it is , it did rev fine thou ,it just has a miss like i said but that is from the dirty plugs im sure . all in all im pretty happy now , chase bays looked the harness over twice . i would assume they would have caught this but owell .i like the way the harness fits the motor ,it routes around nicely .

gonna do the plugs tomorrow, thanks for the help nick , your awesome man thanks .

as far as chasebays goes, im more than satisfied with my harness , it looks great,it fits great and now that i figured out the wires im good.I talked alot of shit on chasebays and I feel like a douche for doing so , they make quality stuff and at the end of the day it was a mistake ,will was pretty cool , he put up with all the shit i talked and he seems to be doing alot of this work himself so i can understand that things might happen .they definetly dont deserve most of the shit being said about them but i can only assume people are just as frustrated as i was .

will buy from them again and recommend them to other people .

[CorvettKilla]

I just had a bad experience with chase bays regarding my ls1 ls6 wiring harness. When I first brought the harness I had mentioned that I am running a ls2 block and intake and when I tried hooking it up they had sent me a regular ls1 ls6 harness so the map and knock and cam sensors were to short. I talked to Wil and he said nobody wrote a note down as to that it was a ls2 block and said I would have to pay for shipping back there and from there. So after biting the bullet on their mistake I paid $55 insured shipping back to them and put down the postal code off the repair forum they sent me. Turns out that they moved locations and now my harness is getting sent back to canada since it could not be delivered. I phoned Wil back and he basically said that there wasnt even a possibility it could be sent to them with just a postal code even though in canada every house or business has their own postal code, and said that he couldn't even help me out with shipping it back when off the repair form it had a state, city and postal code on it and said it was my fault and that he wasnt going to help me out with shipping even though they are a big company and it would be peanuts to them they still fucked me over twice and now I have to pay another $55. So it boils down to these guys being absolute funkin arsholes with customer service and anyone who buys from them be aware these guys are funkin air heads. For the amount I had paid for the harness and shipping plus having to wait 2 months wiring specialties would have been a WAYYY better choice, so I dont think im going to be buying from chase bays again! Sure they make some quality stuff if they get it right but their lack of customer service aint worth the risk or hassle. Thats my .02

[Beejis60]

Why would you pay anyone to make an LS harness? I can teach a 3yr old how to do it.

Dont forget the power steering line kits in the past were known to leak and lots of people had problems with air in the lines after bleeding the system.

Chase Bays is all Hype. The one or two guys working there never had their shit together even from the beginning when starting out working with Honda harnesses.

[jr_ss]

That's interesting that they didn't eat some of the shipping charges. I paid to have mine shipped to them, but they covered the fee's to ship back to me. They didn't even charge me to have some wires shortened and a few others lengthened. I have yet to have an issue with them, however I am getting ready to fire up my engine management, so hopefully I don't eat my foot.

[Beejis60]

Chase only makes stuff properly for magazine builds. Anything else, good luck with that shit. I won't say how he started his business other than it involved a lot of 5 finger discounts.

[hellion240sx]

there was a problem with the first generations of this kit that caused it to leak, havent heard anything bad about the second gen though....

[BlewByYou]

I see alot of he said hear say going on.. Never had an issue with everything ive purchased. It may take weeks or months to get this stuff but its a CUSTOM part made to order, This isnt a dealership were there mass produced. Projects take time, order your parts at the right time not the last min. Harness should be the first thing to order, time its done and shipped you should have your car ready for it, install an go. Yes some mistakes are made but please show me a company that has NOT had ONE issue? None, bc we are all human an mistakes are made.

That is all.

[Beejis60]

Only problem he had was his very first harness he ever sold. And he and his coworkers post regularly on forums about any 'issues' found, not hide and act like assholes to the customers.

Bought a 2jz-s13 harness for $814 shipped, waited 2 months.....doesn't work.

[Beejis60]

Pretty good description...

Define "doesn't work". There's a reason it doesn't work fyi; is it that there's no power wires, it's grounding out somewhere, he sent you a completely different harness for the application... what is it? Forgetting wires is chase's thing. Labelling each plug like an illiterate child is also something he and his company love to do if you pay the extra money for that option.

"Doesn't work" = No power to E.F.I relay, igniter, injectors, coil packs, fuel pump...It doesnt work.

Installed my original beat up, broken clips/connectors, corroded wires, etc harness and it fires right up with no problem.

Why did I opt to buy a new harness? Because it's worn and I didn't have the free time to make it myself (ironically I got a 1 month vacation from work later)

[tengo240]

so i had alot of trouble with my sr redtop cm1 harness

1.the ect plug didnt clip on ,i had to sand my ect sensor tab flat , not a big deal i guess
2.when it did finally start it idled like shit and flooded my engine .annoying so i sent it back to chasebays , they said it was fine , got it back and i repinned the maf and it was good,,,, i thought
3. none of the trans plugs match the sensors on my trans.pretty mad at this point. the on plug did match but i still had no tach signal or speedo . drove the car and it still wont rev past what i can only assume is 3000 rpm's .so i unplug the one matching trans plug and now my car revs out and hits boost . all in all considering i spent 600 bucks and had multiple plugs not match ,not work, and have bare wire showing all over the place, id say it was a 0 out of 10 .i spent the money to avoid electrical problems , and it just created more.

they seem nice enough if you get them on a good day but fuck that , this harness is garbage, pretty garbage ,but still garbage ,,,, how the fuck do you mess up a maf plug on a stock motor ?

well after trying a few different chassis harness and having the harness checked out by wiring professionals will agreed to give me a refund , i call today and want to make plans to ship it back and figure out how i will get my refund and they dont answer. then the answering machine says its not setup and cant take messages . i hate chase bays .

There are a few lines. If you get that recording with Tech, leave a message at Sales and/or vice versa. Will handles everything and will(no pun intended) get back to you. I've been dealing with him as of late and has always returned my calls and emails. Best of luck.

Two bad experiences with Chase Bays:
1: ordered the powersteering kit for s13/rb20. I had to modify the reservoir bracket for it to fit. Not a big deal but like people say, it's a lot of money for something to not work.

2: Ordered a braided clutch line for my g35 and it is not long enough. I tried calling and emailing them about this issue and all I get is a "well we have been making it like that for a while." All I want to do is return it and make my own, but they just won't let that happen.

Maybe some installation instructions would help. Something I've been taught as an engineer is that there are no stupid users, only stupid products. INSTRUCTIONS!

Chase or whoever is registerred under chasegays username is hawking this thread and I got a bitchy PM from him about me discussing his thieving in his younger days... Meaning that if any of you who have a problem with him/his business, your comments have potentially been seen and read and hopefully you can get your issue(s) resolved, but if not, that really does show extremely poor customer service by these clowns.

[tengo240]

chase bays finally agreed to give me a full refund for the non working harness they sold me .they were fairly rude the whole time i have been dealing with them , they hung up on me once and insist the harness is good even thou when i plug in the vss it putsmy car in limp mode . they said it would be 3-4 buisness days till i got my refund , tomorrow makes 8 and still nothing. i hate chasebays , i missed the entire season dealing with these idiots and now im pretty sure im gonna be dicked around about my refund .

Damn tengo... I feel for you... at least you well eventually get a refund. If your not hurting for money, try not to sweat it too much.

chase bays finally agreed to give me a full refund for the non working harness they sold me .they were fairly rude the whole time i have been dealing with them , they hung up on me once and insist the harness is good even thou when i plug in the vss it putsmy car in limp mode . they said it would be 3-4 buisness days till i got my refund , tomorrow makes 8 and still nothing. i hate chasebays , i missed the entire season dealing with these idiots and now im pretty sure im gonna be dicked around about my refund .

Harness LOOKS perfect? Meaning you've not tried to use it for actually running your car yet?

good luck , what kind of harness? they still didnt get my refundto me today and wouldnt answer my calls today either , i see they are going to a car show this week so i am assuming they wont take care of itthis week either .im gonna wait this week out then contact the bbb and see what can be done , im only being refunded the price before taxand im also paying the shipping for the refund they said , i assume you would just mail a check. will ford has been a huge fuckig douche bag and i will make it my mission of 2014 to bury this company , or atleast shit talk them as much as possible. i paid 600 dollars for this in feburary and hear we are it is almost november and i still have nothing to show for it , i have almost lost all motivation for my car and even posted it for sale or trade cause im just sick of the bullshit that chase bays keeps telling me . i paid good money and installed it right , had to send it back , they said it is good and made right , got it back and ended up having to re pin the maf , then found out none of the trans plugs fit , then relised the vss puts my car in limp mode , then relized the ect didnt match mine and it was showing 0 ohms on the ect ,injector 1 and 4 , the alternator wiring was shorted , the oil pressure spade was hardly crimped , the maf was wrong , and on top of all that i was insulted numerous times by will ford *SNIP* , hung up on a bunch of times and now waiting for a refund im almost sure i will never get . i am sorry for the rant and misspellings, all i want is my money back , they got there shit harness back ,


also just so everyone knows they did say they will for go the restocking fee cause they are just going to re sell my bad harness , sorry to who ever gets it .

He's very slow unless you're Toby, but actually does things right and is quick to respond to complaints afaik.

For any professional mil spec harness I'd Def go to Jordan innovations. We'll worth the money and worth the wait as well. I had a wiring specialties before as well and it worked in 3 different S Chassis with no issues at all. Chase bays is just hit or miss with all there stuff.
