lol Jim, shafting just 1 member on this forum has cost you dearly (your livelihood).

No more will you trade successfully in this country as you were found out in VIC then NSW and now SA (thanks to Iron Chef for bringing this to my attention).

Don't even think about flogging your dirty wares on the SA site!

Normally I'm dead against slandering any business in a public forum (and will delete any such posts) but this isn't slander, this is truth, backed up by the naive & illiterate proprietor himself.

Oh man... a dodgy trader publicly humiliating himself in such a way, smearing his name and the reputation of his workshop, and significantly reducing his clientele base trying to rip off a poor guy for a couple of grand, then "maturely" blasting everyone for exposing his not-so-cunning plan. :/

Couldn't have been better scripted. Would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

ive still got that R33 GTR abc-spec.. it comes with an SR20DET tuned by ralliart from america as well as ferrari buckets from the tata factory. the interior is spotless with only a few moderatly sized tears and a few white spots in the back( couldnt resist myself when i bought my new horse) the bodywork is excellent. the large dents are infact vents to chanel air to my subs so they can put out an additional 40kw's

oh my... :/

I would like to inform everyone about the lies, verbal abuse and shocking treatment I have received from Jim at OH Performance.

Firstly, I enquired about this car looking for a quick hassle free transaction. I received the VIN and engine number so that I could confirm all the details advertised.

Babyskyline(a forum member) then ran these through Nissan FAST only to find that the car was in fact a February 1995 V-Spec even through he was bieng advertising this as a 1996 V-Spec with an Nismo Built Engine.

I called and confronted him about these discrepancies and the fact it was not a genuine S-Tune. He said that R33 GTR's Nismo S-Tunes never had the red painted rocker covers, but the engine has the letter 'S' on the block so it must be real. In fact he said only the R32 and R34 GTR's had these red painted rocker covers and the placard in the engine bay. Then I asked him why doesnt it have a placard in the engine bay saying it was built in the Omari factory by Nismo? He didnt have an answer for that one! But he still insisted it was a genuine S - Tune. Unbelievable, this guy just wouldn't give up!

Also I confronted him regarding the fact that the front may have been in some sort of accident since all the front end parts had been repaired, to which his reply was "Its hard to find a car this old these days which hasnt been in some sort of accident". Obviously it had been in an accident.

Even after all this I was still wanting to meet up and at least take a look at the car, so I messaged him again and asked to meet up over the long weekend any time and I would come down to him. He didnt reply to me, and said he has to ask him wife and get back to me. Fair enough.

I smelt a scam though and I sensed that he was afraid I was on to him, so just to be sure I had my mate call him and try to organise a time to meet up during the weekend(without questioning the validity of his claims).

Guess what, he was happy to meet the next day! Obviously he was trying to avoid me because I was questioning his lies and he didnt want them to be uncovered.

I messaged him and told him that he was very rude for at least not replying to message and that if he didn't want to sell the car he shouldn't of advertised it.

He then called back and advised me that he was "out of reach" on the weekend, even though he admitted he received my message. Then his excuse was that he was "very busy". After all this he still didnt even apologise!

I didnt care, I just wanted to meet up and buy the car even though the alarm bells should have been ringing by now and telling me to just walk away.

So he agreed to meetup the next evening, BUT again lies! The next morning I got a message saying "Car has been sold, thanks for the free add on SAU about the car mate".

I knew this was just another lie and replied "Mate, I highly doubt the car has been sold. Furthermore you need to learn some manners, you are just a timewaster."

His reply back was "Another Tosser".

Then proceeded to send other message saying "I know its just that you didnt have enough money to buy the car, so maybe just buy an R31 like your forum mates said."

I didnt reply to this message, and I though I would just leave it since this guy obviously has some serious issues.

I would strongly advise AGAINST anyone ever dealing with Jim from OH Performance, also I would not recommend ever taking your car to his workshop as the way he treats prospective customers is absolutely disgusting. I would hate to think how he treats real paying customers.

Finally, all I can say is thank god for SAU and Nissan FAST!

I really dodged a bullet with this one.

I wonder how many times Jim has been on A Current Affair in a sting showing off his slimy tactics? .... How can he even still be in business? Pity the poor fool that buys anything off this blatant liar.

Top thread, top read.....

OH Performance has been mega dodgy for a long time.

I remember back in the day (2004-2005) when he had an orange S15 w/RB26 and an M-Sports Kit. I think it had a HKS T51 in it?

Anyway, it would do 2 laps then f**k up and be back on the trailer back to the workshop EVERY MEET.

How are the "HKS" Intercoolers going mate.... still welding them up in the workshop using cut down truck cores?

If you had any business sense and were not a scam artist - you would and could have made a lot of money given you were in the industry early.

Im supprised you haven't pissed off the wrong people and have been paid back for it.

VIC's fastest GTR? Pfft, in your dreams buddy.....

This reminds my of when RGV250 motorbikes were hot property and now its japanese cars....I see a striking resemblance here.....there was a guy by the same name that went "on a holiday" back then.....hmmmmm.....we dont know andrew from MPR do we jim?????;)

If it is ok with the moderators.

I would like Jim/OH Performance to be barred from trading on the SAU forums.

I would also like a case to be raised with the ACCC or office of fair trading for this obvious false advertising.

I would also like to recommend a call the ACA to knock on his door and uncover the years of BS he has been trying to sell and never deliever on.

Then he well see what a real tosser is!

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
