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.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
