hey guys...

i need some help, i ordered some rims (19" Gold Volk GTC's, custom offsets) through JDMimports late last year. now payment was received and confirmd by charles on the 24th of November... (i have a copy of the receipt and tax invoice n such). charles has been very helpful through the whole process..up until now...

i was then contacted saying they have landed on the 22nd of march this year. i then let them know they are right to forward them to my address.

now...i still havnt gotten anything... i have tried emailing all 3-4 of there email accounts numerous times, i have tried there 2 mobile numbers constantly all throughout the day, and i got a fax number (no good to me).

what im asking is if someone is close to there area, can they go and see if the store/shop is still open.. or can someone give me a work phone number for them.

im 21..and started a mechanics apprentiship very late. so my wage is killing me... and $4000 is alot of money to me...(and most people)

There address is : 5 Saric Ave, Georges Hall NSW

if anyones in that area...please just drive past and see if they are still trading or if you got time go in and get me a phone number.

im getting quite worried, and this just gives me the attitude of "f*ck trading on the internet" even with "trusted" and well known traders.

do you guys think i should be getting worried because of the 4 weeks late, or more the not being able to contact them at all...

:):P

CJ

ps, im located close to brisbane, so theres no way a set of rims would take over 4 weeks to get to me...

pps, i have all relevant PM's and emails regarding this matter as proof, as i said...$4 grand is alot.

Sad to hear as I have bought 2 sets from Charles when he first started as a trader almost 2 years ago and was a great guy to deal with...I have heard on the grapevine that he has gone MIA again..shortly after their announcement that they are back in business few mths ago....this isn't the first time this has happened..probably no help to you but there must be a reasonable explanation...one being they might be in deep shit..but hopefully they will get back to you soon...keep us posted and GL.

yes guys, its JDMimports, NOT JDMconcept.

as i said, charles was very helpful, and kept my up to date constantly, telling me he received my money, then when volk receieved the order, estimated delivery time, when they had arrived... then then....vanish :)

i had seen the amount of people who delt with him and straight away thought "he's ligit".... hmm...as they say 'asumption is the mother of all f*ckups'

Welcome to the club CJ !!

Charles & Steve Tison from JDM Imports have screwed heaps of people for thousands of $'s in the last 6 months on SAU & NS !! ( and I'm one of them ). You better get some legal help fast or kiss your $'s goodbye !!

With ALL SINCERITY & RESPECT !! SAU moderators, here's yet another example of why I'm asking you to ban JDM Imports and put them on the Bad Trader's List.

If you want to speak to those who've been screwed, I'll list all the logon names I know of.

...dont say that... cmon, im barly scraping $300 a week... legal help?? :)

CJ

Why dusn't someone just go to their house... or try to track them down in person? threatening to kill someone does wonders sometimes..

supposably they have another store elsewhere...and im not going to say anything that could come back at me...

CJ

guys iv recently been riped off by JDMimports, now i have also found a few others who have also been ripped...

please post up if you have or at least PM me the details, im collecting info on everyone that has had a bad deal with these guys.

this will be delt with!! (one way or another)

SAU, i think its about time you get some legal help/advice for when these issues arrise.

CJ

SAU isnt responsible for trading on the forum, it is at your own risk as also stated in the rules & guidelines.

but yeah ive heard so much about JDMimports esp on ns.com

jake33, issue is here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry3070026

i sent Prank and Blitz both PM's regarding the matter nearly a week before i posted these threads.. i know they are busy, but being admin/moderators i would have hoped they would have been online within a week and maybe replyd to me even just to say they will look into it and what i should do...

looks like il be losing my job in 2.5weeks anyway. so yah for me...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
