yeah so they've been burned by the org before, if people here want to try and redeem the org's credibility i dont see why not. i'm sure somebody here is going to collect money but i'm not sure who. maybe i'm just uninformed but this deal appears quite disorganized.

 

Ya who started this? I tried helping keep a list organized..... but I'm also busy at work, so I was hoping the person responsible here would also put some effort into maintaining some sort of list of who'se in, paid.... etc

 

i'm still waiting

 

the realistic part of me thinks this is another over ambitious effort at a futile cause but i'll wait too see whether or not this materializes.

 

i know but thinking about it that way seriously makes me sad lol

 

And do you feel comfortable sending money to someone who is not the actual vendor?

 

And are you trying to talk some sense into the prospective buyers here?

No. I won't give my money to somebody else because I can drive to TS and present it to them in person.

 

Problem is they are not being smart about this, let the vedor come to US and tell US that they want a down payment rather than let someone here set it up. If the vendor so chooses to get involved they can or can not solely on their discretion and based on our prior attempts it will probably not work out in their favor, i wouldn't do business with most of the guys here, they flake out too easy.

 

any list of those interested?

 

yea i'd rather not give the money to someone else either. would someone call and specifically ask about a GD tomorrow? If it becomes official i bet we could get people to jump on it fast.

 

i agree. if a rep from TS came on and asked for a 200 down payment or whatever, we'd see who really wants the ecu, and who just talks. I'm interested, but i wont send my 380 out to someone if this deal isnt going through.

 

so stop wasting thread space with how your not in on this.it is not helping any and those with money only should be replying

 

serious....

 

TS has already been contacted it appears, they don't sound thrilled about giving the "flakers" another shot at a GD

 

I know they were contacted, I contacted them.

 

thats why i say there should be a down payment of 200 or whatever they choose before they do this, so they dont get ripped again. then all the talkers, and the serious people would show up.

 

i dont see how hard it is for them to just offer it theyre not doing anything different just giving it at a lesser value. if we just appear more organized it shouldnt be a problem imo, f*ckin **** i dont wanna pay five bills.

 

Has TS cracked the 6th gen maxima yet? If not, any idea when/if they will?

 

Ok. got an email from Brian at TS, there won't be a group buy and the ECUs are going for the normal rate of $595. The last GB ended 2 months ago and that's about it.

 

damn shame :-l can we atleast get it for 500 i mean damn can they give us something

 

Uhh if Technosquare think's people are going to pay the same price for their non rev limiter cracked ecu as JWT's cracked rev limiter ECU, they're out of their damn minds... Especially since it seems they have no interest in us at all...

 

that blows! it doesnt look good for a company, no matter how "bad" they were burned, to not reach out to a market that wants their business. its money, vs. no money...i understand business, but it doesn't seem like a good business decision to not ask for a down payment...hell, even a stiff one, to make sure it doesn't happen again. i am kinda pissed off about this, but i guess ts would rather let their time and $ go to waste then to try and recoup some of their losses and give the seriously interested a shot at redeeming the reputation of the org. just my .02. i guess my $ will go to a new y and headers, and cattman's new cat. or maybe my cf hood, or my bbk. TS...you are losing out on revenue because you want to be stubborn. businesses don't last long with a mentality like that.

 

word, i really don't see how hard it is. and the fact that the .org is one of the larger car communities (or maxima enthusiasts in general), they really should at least pretend like theyre interested in us. seriously, whether a GB required ten or twenty people, that's ten or twenty people paying 400~500 instead of ZERO paying 600... I seriously want to see how many people are really gonna pay full price, cuz for 600, there's other things i'd rather do. f*ckin TS, i hope they see this.

 

only one thing left to do, buy used.

 

who the hell wants to buy a used ecu though

 

well every maxima ecu out there is used, mine, yours... if i found a "used" with the ts or jwt mod done, id jump on it if it was a good price (400 or less) and think about it, there would be no down time and after you get it you sell your old ecu for 100-150 bux. sounds good IMO.

personally i think i will take my money and go to catman, they do alot for the maxima community, they offer us some great deals and great products. id rather spend a lil extra money and make sure its going to a business who is lookin out for their customers. If TS isnt even willing to take off 50 bux, or give us a gift certificate or a hat or something, i wont want to do business with a company like that.

 

Man, calm down. TS is a good company and they have better customer service than JWT. Plus, there's a lot of history of cheap a$$ ****'s on this board that like to mess up GD's buy saying they're down when they're not.

I understand if they don't want to do a GD because it's their business whether they want to or not. They are in business to make money and not to cater to people who don't want to pay a lot of money for a product.

TS have been very helpful in my dealings with them over the past 2 years due to the fact that they knew I wasn't f'n around with them.

You newjacks need to get an f'n clue about these guys and the history before posting rediculous rhetoric in order to get something heated up.

 

take yall money to jwt . you know they definitly have the rev limitor,and its $500 til the end of febuary. and sadi he can extend it alittle bit longer after that. so thats were im taking my business.

TS <--------

lindsey lohan <-------

 

Next you guys will come back complaining about how long JWT takes to get your ECU back to you and how they don't reply to phone calls and such.

 

yeah ts is a very good company. i was in the last ts group deal and it didnt go well, people flaked out and ts got short changed and it was the second time it happened.

 

magikone, i'm just one of those people that doesnt trust anyone and the fact that a dealer cant even tell you upgraded your ecu means you can't either...unless you dyno i suppose or the redline extension BUT i still don't trust anyone.

deezo, it's rhetoric, lol jp. anyway yes it is true they have every right to do what they wish but all i'm saying is that if they wanted to give us a deal they could. and what i mean by that is they should want to lol. i know there's people that haven't put their money where their mouths were but i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one that wants it. if we just get the message straight that we don't want any posers or fencewalkers and TS gives us another chance then why not. GDs are a significant part of what big forums are about, and the .org is no exception. If they really wanted to they could make it conditional and force 20 other z members and/or g35 owners. all i'm trying to say is i bet if we organized it formally right now we could get twenty people easily. EASILY

 

True but after talking to Brian from TS, they don't even know if they want to sell the upgraded limiter to 4th Gens right now because they want to figure out the 5 speed issue. Kinda sucks for people that want it now but that's what he said. They have projects out the wazzoo and need to get those out of the way before they take on more. Seems right to do businesswise. I told him to call me whenever they need more help with it but it's a business decision they need to make.

 

well if the 5th gen isn't 595 and is 495 its not that much of a discount so maybe a....smaller group buy for 5.5 gens! lol

 

Wow, most of you are idiots. Go to JWT, who cares. Except you're too ****ing cheap to go there anyway. You all show interest like crazy and as soon as it doesn't happen you flame TS. Pathetic.

 

they make nothing for me

 

ive been using ebay for a while now, ive had a ton of great deals then one day i won an auction, payed $58 bux, sent a MO, and got no product....i was pissed and ready to jus say F*** it and give up on ebay. then i said, why quit using ebay, theres no telling what kinda good deals im missing out on, why not take 1 more chance but woith more precautions and with better decisions. now i continue to use ebay and have gotten some great deals on some items.

this is the same thing with TS, theyve been burned, they need to get up, dust them selves off and get back on the bike. why give up??????? theres no telling how well this GD may go. we might only get the minimum 20, we might even get as high as 30-40, does it sound crazy????? look at GD from the past where results were far grander than original expectations. you cant let 1 or two bad experiences stop you, if thats true i woulda never learned to drive a motorcyle, i woulda never taken the SAT's the second time and get a 1250 sumthin (1st time was 800 somethin). you jus t gotta get up and try again with a better plan and better guidelines to make this GD happen.

 

I'm not flaming TS, im just saying that if they were to do it, that a down payment would seperate the posers from those who want it for real. I dont know how much JWT is, but if there wont be a group deal, ill just man up and pay the 595 for the ecu. But I get where you're coming from though too Dave. Most of these people on this thread are goodie goodie to TS til they find out they wont have the GD. Just like a woman, if you dont get your way, you act like a b i t c h

 

watever, i'll pay a deposit but i'm not submitting to some non-refundable bullsh!t. it better come off of the total price or i'm going straight to the hq myself and jacking them lol

 

i hear what deezo and dave are sayin...but, i still think ts is missin the boat. i would be ok with a deposit, even a non-refundable one if they offered a decent break on the pricing. for 495, there are other mods i will do first. for 380, ecu gets bumped to the head of the line. i don't doubt that the ecu is worth 495, or 595, but, there are other things that I can/would like to do before the ecu at that price. does that make sense? like it was mentioned by magik, give the serious ppl a chance to redem our rep here on the org, and put our $ where our mouths are. also, last i heard, jwt hasnt done anything for the 5.5 gen on the order of the ecu.

 

Too many people jump on a bandwagon around here trying to front like they can afford to modify their cars. This is the problem. People shouldn't jump in on anything that will put them in the negative. Just from the questions that were asked by many people in this thread, you can tell they haven't done any research on the whole ECU modification. People hear that it makes the car faster and they want it. They here the price and they argue about it. The price for an ECU upgrade from TS has always been $595. There was a GD a couple of years ago where TS sold them here for $380. You really can't expect them to honor a GD that is 2 years dead.

TS really isn't losing money on not doing a GD right now. They have a ton of projects right now and is making money on those. I believe they'll do something for us because of Cheston. Others need to step up to the plate and pay up for what they want also.
