That shouldn't be a loophole. He should still be accountable. Was the other business name registered as bankrupt or something?

I would say you can get the money, but it won't be quick, you'll want a good lawyer (e.g better than his) and it WILL cost you.

cheers,

Changing the name of a company/ business is not a loop hole for not having to pay wages to an employee. Join a union if there is one and tell them about it. Complain to the mechanics association? If this exists. And like the above people have said go to industrial relations.

On the side if you know he has been dodgy with tax, call the tax department. If he hasn't paid super, call this department as well. They will audit his ass straight away.

I can understand how easy it is to weasel out of paying someone. I took a Mr Asia computer dealer to court a few years ago, he sold me a P2-300 overclocked to 450 as a legitimate 450. It was quite cheap though (the only good thing) but when I opened the case I found it was just an overclocked 300.

It wasn't the money I was interested in (I paid around $200 more than I should have for a p2-300, but around $200 less than a 450), it was the principle, and I hoped to stop him ripping off other people in the future.

I took him to court (he didn't show up), presented my case and won, sent the sheriffs around to collect the money (costing me another $50), and when they asked him his name and he said yes, they told him why they were there. He then said "Oh, that isn't me, this is me, the guy you mentioned went back to China a few weeks ago" and pulled out an expired security guard licence with a variation of his name's spelling.

Because of that, the sheriffs couldn't do anything. They sent me a letter explaining that the guy was dodgy and that they believed that he was the guy in question, but because of the stupid laws in this country they couldn't do anything at all. They said they would forward the case to investigations but this was like 4 or 5 years ago and I don't ever expect to hear anything again.

I have to ask though, why did you let this guy get $14000 of free work out of you? Were you just not paid at all during all this time? Or did he pay you a little bit, and say he'd give you the rest later? Good luck with it I hope you drag the bastard over the coals. I hate people that rip others off.

I thought this forum was to talk about nissan cars and how to have fun in them. Not talk crap about peoples personal lives. Everyone is owed $ from people some people are owed $5.00 some people $100000 who gives a s**t. Lots of people owe me $ thats life. If your dumb enough to work at a place and not get paid thats your problem. There is allways two sides to every story. We have heard yours, nobody has heard the shop you worked at story. Without hearing both sides how do we know this is true. Im not standing up for any one I just thought this forum was set up to talk about cars not crap!!!!!!!!! GO on Jerry Springer......

Nice work bruce32.

Not only have you just put down greygirls issues (I am sorry to hear that, greygirl, 'specially with your baby on the way) but you just defeated the issue you were trying to raise.

Where in your post did you you talk about your car? You mentioned nothing except whinging about how someone has an issue with thier work.

I can only hope you post more then twice so I can cut you down agian.

Bah, then again, i don't think I will waste my time.

'nuff said.

x2shy I went to Queensland Raceway yesterday and used my skyline there you go i talked about cars. It rained which made it even more fun for drifting.

Bah but then again you ppl want to whinge I wont waste my time any more on this subject. nuff said. By the way x2shy while we are on the matter of bad business' why dont you ask greygirl why do they promote a shop called SB performance but when ppl want wk done they cant do it and dont even give out an address for ppl to go and see their wk. My mate got stuffed around by greygirl for over a month trying to get wk done by them but to find out the shop doesnt exist. How is that GOOD business??

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
