OK just like naming a workshop is not allowed, neither are personal attacks.

d0p3y and Uwish, or anyone else who wants to start something, it will be a banning.

Dom,

we all know there are TWO sides to this story.

A GTR for 12k lol You a silly for buying it!

You shouold start telling the truth.

Were you kept in formed the whole way? Thought so.

How long does it take to pull GTR TTs off?

You should really settle the matter before crying on a public forum

12k for a skyline is great.I am assuming its a race only import.Beats spending all the extra for a road going version if you only intend on hitting the track

is it Dogs Race Cats?

gl with your court case mate, bend them over and f**k them good. (not literally)

Apart from being wrong, you are trying to circumvent some clear rules with your post. Don't do it.

Hey I'm interested to know something -

(without being a smart ass) how is spreading the word via PM any different from posting it in a thread?? Due to the fact the information is obviously available to anyone who requests a PM, it's seemingly as freely available as simply posting it in a thread. Since people have mentioned that they have received the PM with the shop name in the thread here, would that in turn mean legal implications for those involved?? Or is it ok due to the fact they cannot prove which name was infact mentioned in the private message?? anyone in the know able to clarify??

Ryan i believe a PM would be OK, cos its not up for public display in the main thread in black an white for every1 and any1 to see. Hence no public defamation.

On the other hand surely theres a disclaimer saying that SAU cannot be held responsible and views and opinions of users do not neccessarily represent those of SAU?

Hmmm i just checked and can't find any disclaimer like this...actually quite the opposite, in sau guidlines it says all post are property of the poster AND SAU. I can see why the moderators are so anal about this now.

At 12.47 PM on Monday 3 December 2007 a Default Judgement for liquidated claim was entered at the Parramatta Local Court, Small Claims Division.

In case Number 2410/07:

The judgement entered in favour of the Plaintiff (me) against the defendant (a tuner) for an amount of $3553.19 plus $73.00 court costs.

This is 100% of what I was requesting as I was happy to pay for anything that I had been advised of and quoted beforehand.

Id say the matter should end here and hopefully this gives others encouragement to seek redress when they are hard done by. I was not greedy and I volunteered to pay for whatever is fair and the tuner should be happy as he got everything he had quoted and sought approval for.

I did not ask the court for interest on the overpaid amount, I did not ask for a reprieve for paying the whole bill, I still paid nearly $3,000 for a good few hour work and parts, which I feel comfortable with.

I think the most important lesson is, Dont accept any reccomendation on a forum or even from "friends" in person. I personally am assisted (in my Charity and racing endeavours) by Castrol Oil and SRF, Winford and Alto Ford, Express Glass and CHU insurance So perhaps I am blind to the costing and quality of their fantastic service. I have often reccommended these guys to others. So I am as guillty as anyone else on this forum of being a little biased.

What happens next is they have 28 days to pay me or lodge an appeal in a higher court.

That is a good result!

And kudos as well for not being greedy! I hate reading stories where people take people to court and try and get more money than they should.

Good work and again, sorry that you went through that experience, and it does help/show others that the little guy can still win :(

Congrats on the result. Granville? Ok I'd like a PM too now please, that's too close for comfort!

BTW, did they even show up to the hearing or send a rep?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
