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!

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
