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!!!

had another 2 people contact me, one has paid and the other hadn't paid as of yet but was going to contact him etc. so if they can still get in contact with him we might have to use this person to help us out.

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?

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
