dont buy from china
dont buy from ebay wankers that mark up value from under $20 to over $150+

i have learnt my lesson

spose thats what happens when 6year old boys and girls are in factories working on these products.

atleast in AUSTRALIA and australian made
engineers and qualified persons make the products

not young kids
ladies
old people
retarded people
with no experiance at all
in china make the stuff

and australia will check for quality

not like in china where every 1000th part is checked

i have seen this for myself
a friend has a factory and pays them little money and a sanga to eat everyday
spose the kids making this so called peformance stuff would love the $2 wage and free sanga at lunch

looks great in photos and even in real life
but dont work as well as it looks

####ing rubish made in china

Uhmm I just bought some flat top pistons for my A12GX from a chinese website. I didn`t try it yet, hope i don`t have any problems.

Stay off ebay then.

For products to be bought into aust legitly they must pass quality regulations so we dont hav all this ####!
Wait till March 1 when the motor industry becomes licenced! Then it will really become fun for you guys. And all this bullshit products will dissapear because all the licenced mechanics will refuse to fit such mud.

You pay peanuts, youll get monkeys!

They are built to a price, not to a quality standard. Its usually the greedy importer that dictates the quality.
So blame them, not the people who make them.

Look around man...
90% of things for sale in Australia are made in China.

99% of products sold by Walmart are made in China...


It's too late. For the average wage earner We are left with no choices.

Gota say im with dattodude here buy the time we end up paying full price for a hybrid cooler set up and other bits and pieces with big name tags we end up looking and realising we have spent well over our total we wanted to and are in mid 30k . .i have always bought china stuff and yeh might have a few probs but reconise the prob and fix it dont just go buy another. .

Its kind of funny when you think that what you're bitching about regarding china is that they make cheap parts for 35 year old "cheap Japanese" cars.

these cars in their day were the same type of products that you're accusing the Chinese of making today. Face it, China is the new Japan & look where their products are 30 years later, Honda, Acura, Infinity, etc... people think pretty highly of Japanese products now.

Does anyone remember when "made in japan" was a derogatory
comment?

I agree chris.....And if australian products were to come down on there stupid pricing and yes we buy,...
Australia WILL never compete with oversea's market,............ no choice,
Neally 2/3 aftermarket parts are non australian,........and it a shame,
Makes you wonder how they do it....
thats my say

I (as yet) haven't bought any chineese go faster bits. But, the chineese manufacturing boom has meant lower prices for consumers across the board. Look at car audio for instance. You can buy Banging sounds for you car today, for the same price it used to cost if you were buying stolen 10-12 years ago. (NO, I don't endorse theivery, or supporting the black market.I'm just using that as an analogy)
Some chineese stuff is sh1t. But they do make some okay stuff too.
Look at back in the '80's. People were seething with anti jap crap sentiment. Now no-one (Apart from loser's who haven't evolved at all, and are still living in the past) thinks twice about it. Albeit japaneese qualiity has improved.

If you're very careful Chinese parts can be ok, I wouldn't use Chinese hardware, unless I really knew it was up to grade, But that's the big problem, unless you can certify that the parts are good, which you cant do buying them on ebay...

Anymore it's impossible to avoid buying things made in china, not all the things are bad.

On ebay... if there is an all aluminum radiator for $20 including shipping, you can assume it's not very good quality.

It takes a knowledgeable person to pick through stuff on ebay and find the good parts.

Pay a little more and buy quality parts is the only way to fight this, the solution is to pay a fair price for quality parts.
