Hey, i Brought a carbon fibre bonnet off them via e-bay on tuesday, and paid through pay pal that night. Got a message from them today saying they recieved payment and will send the bonnet courier monday morning. I was a bit cautious at first due to no feedback on e-bay, but hopefully i'll recieve the bonnet, Cheers shane.

Anyone got more information on these guys?? was supposed to have the bonnet delivered this morning by a "private courier" but nothing has showed up. He's not replying to e-mails or picking his phone up, which is weird because before payment he would reply within a few minutes, Cheers shane.

yeah i am like shaneo, i actually contacted shaneo through e-bay to see if he had recieved his bonnet. As i "purchased" a veilside kit and 2 carbon bonnets from him for $1349 (which yes seemed stupidly low, as i was just about to buy a kit only from carmate for $1630. But as he said he was an importer of them. He also old me that he got them shipped out from his supplier in Adelaide, and then sent out Direct. It has gotten to the point where he has now disconnected his mobile, and as shaneo found out his bogus contact details through e-bay lead you to phoning a Pizza Shop.

I am going to the cops today, so if anyone else has had a run in with him, please contact me with your contact number and we will make complaints to the police in a group.

for anyone interested the information i have on him is(not allot):

[email protected]

E-mail name was Darren Pan

Account name to deposit into was

Darren Saban with the commonwealth bank

his mobile up till now was: 0401760403

claimed he was jspec pty ltd ABN 54 122 706 076

which obviously exists, Look this guy is a major crook, and we must stop him.

Yeah i lost $1350, and i really am not that fussed if i get it back, as long as this piece of shit goes down.

anyone with any information please contact me!!! or shaneo!!!

Just a quick reply, we have had a 7th victim of this con-man come forward, and he was ripped off over $1800 outside of e-bay. but we now believe we have the scum bag. So Yay for us little guys for a change. and i hope the cops will screw him in the ass.

Guess this is the major reason people should stick to those who have a good rating... The person mentioned they used paypal should be protected by them? isnt that the whole idea behind using them?

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
