NITROUS OXIDE ( nos / n2o ) advice forum

Hi

Just read this on my daily Ebay Nitrous search for oddments and collectables....

"Every full Wizards of NOS nitrous kit bought from S7UFF comes with a FREE Adjustable Power Boost Controller RRP £29.95 to further increase performance. "

Its from this auction >>> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wizards-NOS-SB100 ... 3cad4e3220

Power boost controller lollll ???

All the best Brett

Never heard of them and unless they use another name in another area when dealing with us, we've never supplied to them.
If you get the chance Brett, you might like to act like you're interested and see what they offer and how they carry on.

All their info etc. is ages out of date, so it all seems very strange.

You'd be surprised how many companies we encounter who have our products for sale on their web sites and yet we've never heard of them. When Lisa gets time I intend to have her check them all out and see what their up to.

All the best

Hi Trev

Will do.... I will use another of my Ebay shop accounts though as my name is a little too well known

I did wonder as their bike kit pictures are showing your old Pulsoids with the pink writing...

All the best Brett

I love this comment on the listing

Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in the original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in the retail shop. If the item comes straight from the manufacturer it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as an unprinted box or plastic bag. See the seller's listing for full details.

A plastic bag from WON? and didnt the SB100i change to the SB150i more than 5-6years ago?
Very dodgy, selling off very old stock as new isnt it?

The parts listing includes 8 crossfires as well

He also says he has 50 of these kits for sale ??

I will answer your questions in corespondence with yours

1.We are not a wizards agent, hence why we supply the Easy DIY installation guide. When we say 'easy', it is dependant upon your experience with cars etc.

The kits have been apraised, you just have to purchase extra jets, we will have all the extra accessories on auction soon. This kit comes with extra Y Splitters, 8 Crossfire Injectors (spacer & retainers) and two 4 way combined fuel and nitrous dizzy blocks. This just helps with delivery etc and more power. One you fit the kit you just add additional jets dependant on your requirements in terms of how much extra power your looking for. We just dont want you to cause any damage to your vehicle, its like taking baby steps
3. The item in the picture is the item we are selling, colour of the bottle may vary.
4. your are intially supplied with 2 jets.

We will have all the bigger jets and other accessories on sale soon.

Oh and the power booster info will follow in the next email.

Timing advance helps produce more power by igniting the sparks sooner, providing more time for the fuel / air mixture to burn completely, increasing cylinder pressure, thus providing more power.

*Only 2 wires to connect - Simple DIY fitment within 20 minutes.
* Fully adjustable
* Universal Fitment - Suits all fuel injected cars. (excluding Turbo and _diesel engined vehicles

Included
*Fully assembled billet aluminium controller unit with electronics.
* 3 Metres of wire.
* Dashboard / Console fixative.
* Cable ties.
* Detailed instructions

ever wondered where the gear went when won was broke into trev?
to have instock 50 complete kits they must have come from won "somehow"
OR their rip off chep gear made in china, OR!!!! theyve found the factory where won get their equipment made and bypassed the middle man

The chap seems confident, and also seems to have a lot of WON stuff coming up for sale quite soon?

Considering the kit is supposed to be brand new and comes with all the shit needed for a V8 installation, the price is cheap isnt it?
1 Bottle, 2 pulsoids, 2 dissy blocks, 8 crossfires, plus Y connectors, pipe and fittings

Could this be bankrupt stock from an old WON dealer?

Perhaps someone should buy a kit for WON to look over?? The game is afoot

you mean someone like won? as its their product name which could be tarnished?
obivously you wouldnt recommend possible dodgy goods to won customers?

They only have a feedback rating of 6. But they have about 4 different full WON kits on sale all brand new and showing more than 10 available of each??

Trev - one of the boys having a garage sale or summat on the QT?

The photos LOOK old!

just what ya need with a nitrous kit a free device to advance timing

Jezzuss Trev,

Someone needs to SERIOUSLY investigate this

I'm not familiar enough with the way Ebay works, so I'm having Ant take a look at this tomorrow now that its looking more and more sinister.

Hi

This is their address >>>

s7uff LTD

3/1 29 Loch place
Bridge of weir
Renfrewshire
PA11 3NY
United Kingdom

From Google maps its a private house....

Checking their Won kits , they SAY they have over 70 complete kits for sale....they also say Free Postage and Packing and they will send within 2 days... which means either they are fibbing or they have stock as they couldn't buy from WON and receive them and send them out that fast....

Their Ebay shop also sells a lot of mobile phones, headphones and a few car bits like chromed lights and indicator units etc...

All the best Brett

Hi Trev,

This is Vivienne (Richard's Partner), I know a lot about ebay and there are several courses of action you can take should you object to a listing.

How may I help you?

Hi Vivienne

Unfortunately I only buy from Ebay and do not sell so I am sure Trev will appreciate any advice you can give him

All the best Brett

Many thanks for the offer of assistance Vivienne and I'll pass that on to my assistant Ant if he should need it.

If they have even ONE of our systems we have no record of them buying from us in their name or at an address in that area but I'll now pass on the exact address you've provided Brett (thank you for that) to her and see if she can at least confirm a single sale.

Had they ever bought more than just 3 systems I'd have been informed about it.

Since we don't carry large numbers of systems ready built (most stock is held in component form), it's unlikely that they'd be able to obtain the system even by stealing them without some MAJOR assistance from one of my employees and I'm 100% CERTAIN none of them would have done that.

Either they are using our products to sell some other BS garbage or they only have one system and they are bulling up their position to appear bigger than they are, or maybe they just intend to buy from us when they get orders.

Whatever the case it's now obvious that we need to find out the truth at very least.

Back tomorrow with an update, ooops make that back later today with an update as it's now 2.30 AM

Looking at his other items - they are dodgy as well.
The Apple Ipad isnt released in the UK so these are very grey imports........

I made a few enquiries but didn't get them all answered. Here's the reply I did get...

Hi the SB100i is a rare kit which is harder to come across and is for the more serious clients. The SB150i is a budget easy to fit NOS Kit. Our WON nos KITS ARE oem and we are just resellers.
Unfortunately we are discontinuing the WON range on eBay but will be on our online retail store in conjuction with our tuning sister company. By that point we will supply and fit the NOS kits as we will be agents of WON at a cheaper price than on eBay.

Ant has been in communication with them and has had similarly half baked responses.

We don't want to blow our cover till we find out the TRUTH of the matter.

I seriously doubt that they have anything more than ONE kit but the whole deal is too fantastical to get a handle on at this stage.

I'll report back when we have this sussed.

Shame its so far from here, as I'd call round to see this huge stock of WON products for myself but as I can't I'd be happy to pay the expenses of anyone who lives nearby to call in and see it for me, so do I have any customers in that area that's game for it?
