I JUST WANT TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE OF MY DEALINGS WITH TREVOR SO THEY DON'T END UP WHERE I'M AT.
I bought a used NX wet kit from him and caught him in several lies and ended up holding the short end of the stick.:(
I bought it from him late last year with the intention of slowly installing it over the winter. I had problems with him from the very beginning of our transaction.
After sending him payment, I recieved the package he sent which was missing several items (blowdown tube, nitrous relay, bottle heater transducer, #65 jet, spark plugs and a few pills).
Here is our PMs from there......

Ok, I have not been able to find my blow down tube or locate another around here, so I was wondering if this would be okay.
Im shipping out the solinoid and the plugs tomorrow, and I was going to put $50 in the box also to make up for the BD tube and now the jet(if I cant find it right away)? Im not sure if thats enough to cover it... Im going to search around and see how much they are tonight.
Sorry, Trevor
There was never a blowdown tube because the bottle he gave me was for CO2 and there wasn't even a fitting for a blowdown tube. I ended up having to replace the whole nozzle because there was no way to attach a blowdown tube to the one he gave me.

Have you sent this stuff yet? When should I expect it?

I sent it on monday. I just did regular ground shipping. The UPS store said it might take a while to get shipped out and get there bc of the holidays and that they are VERY VERY busy. I actually called today to see if it had shipped and they told me NOTHING is being shipped out today due to the snow we are having here. I thought that was odd, but they said they dont want to take the chance with their driver. The roads are VERY bad and icey here right now bc of snow. I was told it should be out tomorrow at the latest. I will call back tomorrow and see if it has been sent out yet.

Over a week now and still no package. If it went out tuesday at the latest, it shouldn't take longer than a week to get to me.
What's going on?

That is really weird? I would have thought it would be there too. Im going to go ahead and say they lost it, bc it would be my luck. I didnt think it was to good when they told me they werent shipping it out that day. Well lets give it tomorrow and if it hasnt shown up, ill go and buy a new set of plugs and send them to you including cash for the bottle heater solinoid($110) and another $30 to cover the tube and jet on monday and get a tracking number and insurance. I dont know what else to do, bc I didnt get a tracking number or insurance on this package. I was sure it would be ok. I also think I lost the reciet for the package also so that would do no good.
Let me know if thats ok, Trevor
Again, Sorry
Seems pretty calm for someone who just lost $50 cash and is now going to lose more replacing these items.
At this point, I asked that he just Paypal me the money which he did and I just decided to cut my losses and try to make the best of it what I had. So, I slowly gathered everything I'd need to do the install and slowly hooked things up a little at a time.
I finally got the bottle filled and hooked it up in the car now only to find out that the main nitrous feed line is leaking and will need to be replaced. For a complete kit in fine working order, this kit he sold me has been nothing but a headache. I just wonder what other snags I'll come across before everything is up and running.
There are probably a few things I'm forgeting about but I am very upset at the moment and it's been a while since this whole transaction took place.
FWIW, lucky_topher vouched for him and assured me the kit was well taken care of.
