Most of you know about the huge issues I had importing my GTR and a importation story which is best described as an absolute joke. Long of the short, the car finally arrived about 9months after payment not as described but it did have additional damage thrown in for no extra cost.

Well more than a year after I payed for the vehicle and all costs etc I get an envelope in the mail from the logistics company involved in clearing the car from customs etc.

Guess what? They forgot to bill me for additional costs (steam cleaning etc) at that stage and now more than one year later are threatening me with legal action for a invoice they havn't given to me till now!

pfft yeah riiight.

Someone kill me now and put an end to this!! No prick ever is getting a cent out of me for importing this car. Over my farkin dead body.

Hey mate, where you hiding? Who wants the money for the car now?

dunno if I can say the name but all information posted is factual - Seaway Logistics.

They set 7 days for payment and I got the letter on the seventh day. I want to see them take this one to court and tell the judge they've billed me more than one year later and demanded payment.

Sent an e-mail to a reply from one of their employee's this morning but received no reply. (i asked to speak with one of their managment)

I also copped an additional invoice from my clearance company about 3 months after the car was imported for steam cleaning. How it took 3 months to establish this is beyond me but I coughed up as it was a friend of the family who owned the clearance company. Know how you feel though. :D

hmmm that sucks. seaway were fine with me, except for the slight hold up with the car in brisbane...

after that it was all good, and the chick i dealt with in emails and on the phone was extremely friendly...must've wanted me because I had a SICK SKYLINE!!!

jesus.... does seaway ever stop f**king up?? They f**ked up my invoice but it was rectified, Since then I've recived numerous PM's from other people with similar problems not to mention what I've read on the forums!!!

IDIOTS!!

Yeah

I copped one from seaway last week demanding one for towage and stuff call Melbourne office and ask for Craig McElvaney he should be able to sort it out for you, if you explain the situation (if you can get hold of him that is) 9 months after the fact is crazy

Failing that [email protected]

haha sounds a bit suss to me ..

like a passive hit and miss rought...

I would call there bluff on it as that debt collect letter's are just fancy stationary unless the debt is in the thousand's when you would recieve proper legal documents to go argue the case.

Edited by ishh

I would tell that since its been so long, you don't believe that they had the work done. I'd pay it, but ONLY when they procide to you ORIGINAL documents to proce that the work has been done. No proof the work has been done, no need to pay.

Yeah - and get management involved too... make sure you take up LOTS of their time. Make sure they are aware that you have a problem. Managers are usually busy (believe it or not), and their time is valuable. Take the time to make your position crystal clear.

Also, find out what the law is. I doubt they would take you to court (small claims, I guess), but I'm not a lawyer. Are they allowed to bill you 1 year afterwards? I think if you called the ACCC you might be able to get some legal advice.

Keep us posted (posted, get it...)

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
