I don't have issues with Z1. The prices are fair. Not cheap, nor expensive, and they communicate. There are cases where things fall through the cracks, but I think it's retarded that y'all are bashing pricing when it's pretty consistent (a couple exceptions). It isn't Amazon, and we don't own a domestic car or a Honda.

I have bought several thousand dollars of parts from Z1 and never felt like the parts were over priced. Z parts...import parts are expensive if you gonna complain about how much parts cost you can't afford to mod the car. Yup they are a large distributor and some time there are issues all companies have them. If you don't like their service or products find another place to get your fix it is that simple.

Totally agree. I haven't seen any of the R35 guys complain about dumping $5k-$100k into the car including most of the people on here FI.

I NEVER was stirred wrong at all. They've been consistent and transparent with me since 2011. When I was on the west coast, Jon and I would go back and forth between datalogs to get the mapping straightened out. Personally, I would give them a chance to make things right. I'm sure their phone including Jon's/Russ's are always non-stop.

I think their prices are reasonable, and it's a pretty convenient 1stop shop. It's their communication/support that for me has gone down hill. Still waiting on some sort of a response since they started looking into my issue on 7/18/17.

All right guys lest not jump the shark as thats not why this was started.

It was created to bringing attention to Z1's seemingly lack of response and not meant as away to start complaining about other things.

I did reach out to them when I last commented, And I see they reached out to look into it.

Although I have no idea why it would take so long for a response, But at least there's some action.

Like I mentioned above glad to hear they are looking into what can be done.

Keep us posted

Call them as been suggested. I have done that and if I didn't get a timely call back I would call again. They were more than helpful when I got to actually speak with their staff.

The only reason I don't want to do this verbally is there is no record of what was discussed and like when I spoke to them in the past where I was told there would be a note to credit my account on a future order, only to find out there was no said note.

This what I do and it come from years of supervising people. Talk to them in person and then follow up the conversation with an email stating what your understanding of the agreement and conversation is and ask them to confirm said expectations and agreement.

After reading this thread. I will not be a Z1 customer. I am sorry for your problems but it seems all to common these days. People just don't give a damn anymore.

On a brighter note I just recently purchased some items form CZP and had one of my best shopping experiences in years.

After the CMC replacement they couldn't get more than half the clutch back even after extensive bleeding. They had to remove the transmission and found that 4 of the pressure plate bolts BACKED OUT!
I go to a VERY respected transmission shop in Oregon (Columbia Transmission Co. | Serving Portland for for over 45 years) this place has solid reviews on angies list and their service is very akin to Fast Intentions.
They had to loctite and re-torque the bolts which makes me wonder if the material of the bolts are proper for this application. Thankfully they didn't charge me for the trans pull as they were the ones that installed the clutch.
I'm not 100% if the issue is bolt material but knowing who works on my car does make me lean in that direction.

had the same exact issue, i figured it was an install problem. i dropped the tranny again and reinstalled with loctite and triple checked torque.

works well for now but i'm gonna use a brand name clutch and pressure plate next time

I just want to update everyone, I just today spoke with John@Z1. He understands my issues and we acknowledge nothing can be done about the past order issues at this point. But he assured me that there is now a note on my last order regarding all these issue and they will do something for my next future order. Which for me won't likely be till early next year but it will all be suspension related. (Hotchkis Sway Bars, End links, and some sort of coilover).

Outstanding glad you got some resolution even if it is not perfect!

That's some forum love bruh

While it is easier to "talk" between texts and emails, I have found it best to have a one-on-one conversation to resolve any issues. This does allow the conversationalists to gauge, or feel each other out, which can't be done electronically.

Let's hope these issues get resolved to everyone's satisfaction...
