And for that stupid comment, warning issued.

it was a general comment.. not directed at anyone in particular and i'm sure theres been more than this said on here which mods havn't picked up but hey thanks for that >_<

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.

Scott, pm me as much information as you have and I will add him to the bad traders list.

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...

I have replied to you previously via pm - it seems you may not have received the message though.

Moderators have monitored this situation and advised each member that has been ripped off or is concerned to make a final attempt to contact Charles and failing that, report the issue to the police.

We have neglected to physically ban him for the moment as doing so would remove the ability for affected users to pm Charles and as such on the off chance that Charles would log in, this is an avenue that we wanted to keep available to try and help the chances of those members who have been stung and hopefully assist in their chances of getting the money back.

So how can people go about taking legal action to get these sorts of issues sorted out?

Is it just like a tribunal you go to? Small claim thing? or do you just go speak to a barrister or something and take it from there?

Has anyone been through this shit before?

I've merged both threads, no need for two in 24 hours.

Stryder, dont play Admins against each other. I for one dont appreciate it.

You told me that you couldnt get in contact with anyone else. Finding out this is not the case does not help your case regardless of where you stand.

Take Blitz's advice above. Although JDMimports hasnt logged in since Jan '07.

Thanks

In a situation like this you would probably go to the CTTT (read up on the Dept of Fair Trading website).

Thats true.. every state has their own tribunal thingo... Victoria has VCAT

If you can take legal action against them they will pay... unless they claim bankruptcy then they claim they have no assets..

Stuff like this really sux... i can see why they've done a runner... not to just people on forums but people buying direct from their websites too... imagine... $4k one person, 3K another... 1 here and 2 there... by the time they know it they have 20+K... so they do a runner... online traders have that advantage unfortunatly

what do you mean? i sent a msg to one admin, after a little while with no reply and me getting a tad impatent (as i think you could understand) i moved to the next admin, then after a few more days with no replys i sent one to you asking you if my PM service was working correctly. im not bloody trying to play admins against each other?? and i dont quite understand how you come to conclude i was doing so? im confused on that part...

ok, well no i didnt get any reply to my PM that i sent you, but as i said to ash when i first sent him a PM i was asking if my PM service was working correctly... can you please forward your reply to me again??

i have tried every way to contact him that im able to do from here...

both him and steve's mobile numbers i have called, i been calling the fax number, i have sent emails through the 'general enquires' email address, i have sent emails to the 'sales' email address, and even charles's own email address and PM'ing him on here....

when all of those failed over a period of 4-5days i started talking up. and now have asked if anyone in the area of his supposed work shop can check if he is home or whats the go.

I think the general concensus is Collect all your reciepts of proof of purchase, take a copy of there advertisment, contact the bank of possible defraudulent activity and give them sellers bank account details, Give these forwarding details to the police as well they should be able to help. Also after that contact Office of fair trading and notify them of what happened reciepts and details. Then you may also be able to lodge it with the small claims tribunal to recieve money back.

There ya go there is the response, there is no need to get others that may have had a down fall with this trader as it will pose no use, The benefit if you have these people is all individually file what happen to the police and will end in the police getting more involved.

And all in all hope you get your money back

Cheers

Adam

CJ sorry to hear it buddy! This is garbage and not really something you like to see from SAU Traders (not blaming SAU in any fashion). Mate if you have there address it may almost be worth making the trip to go see them personally. I know I would. Its easy to avoid phone calls and emails but not so easy to avoid a face to face confrontation.

Heck if theres enough of you, you could organise a group to go see him along with Today Tonight.

If you havent already I wouldnt be sending a letter of intent to his email and mailing address, and if you get no reply then you may have no choice to but seek legal aid. Its not cheap I know, but you may have a chance of recovering your hard earned dollars.

All else fails sell the debt to some bikies. :closedeyes:

    • 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).
