basically guys i purchased this diff http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...l=nismo+1.5+way almost a year ago now and for many reasons i've only just gotten round to installing it. I decided to take it to a diff specialist to install it and as soon as he looked at it he said 'mmmmm this doesn't look to be a mechanical diff at all' once he took it apart it definitely wasn't and as you can imagine i was more than a little pissed off.

basically i'm wondering if any of you know this guy? or any more contact details for him?

the only contact details i have for him is:

MR A. Ryan

PO box 29

Park Orchards

Victoria

3114

[email protected]

I've sent him an email but have not yet received a reply.

I haven't gone to the cops yet, i've decided to give this guy 1 week to give me my money back.

So if you are mates with this guy or know anything about him please let me know here or by pm.

If any of you have some suggestions of what i should do now that would help too!

Much appreciated, Ash!!!

i've managed to get his mobile number, he's saying that he's crashed his gtr and doesn't have a cent to give me.

roy: i know its been a long time but there's many reasons why its taken me so long to get to this stage!

i do think he's a pretty genuine guy and was good to deal with when i bought it but it still doesn't excuse the fact and i'm still no less pissed off!

and it was $700 so i can't afford just to forget about it!

have been continually messaging him for the last 24 hours but he keeps saying he has no money and can't give me anything, just be careful of this guy if your dealing with him and your from another state!

Thats not good enough... im sure he can give you a small sum of money now, he was the one who sold you the dodgey goods in the first place. For him to turn around and just say badluck is just a kick in the balls... i would be returning that kick in the balls with interest to him.

having no money is understandable. Ask him to give you parts off his GTR as payment - still plenty goodies left to compensate you with :)

thats what i said but he said everything is sold except the guages and he said he's going to send them to me but i told him thats nowhere near enough!

i'd luv to kick him in the balls but i can't afford the plane ticket over there!

post pics, i have seen plenty of "diff" specialists with no clue. I work near ringwood so would be happy to visit if you need some gear picked up and sent over. We coming over for Drift Australia s.a. soon anyways.

he says everything is sold or waiting on payment and all the money is supposedly going to unpaid bills/loans etc.

This diff specialist defintely knows his stuff, he had a mechanical there and showed me the difference and the one i got sold is definitely just a plain standard diff.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
