if any of you have read the max car performance thread you know that i got ripped off by some guy named matthew dillon. im posting up again to ask a few more questions. does australia have anything like the better business bureau? you know some organization i could turn to to help me clear this up. would the cops do anything about it? if so could somebody give me the phone number of a local station? $1000us is a lot of cash and i really cant afford to just give up on it. if worse comes to worse im going to fly down there and find this dude. any help you all could give me would be greatly appreciated.

thanks guys

Clay,

Each state in Australia has a Dept of Fair Trading (Queensland) or similar names in other states. Which state did this villian Dillon supposedly reside in?

Let us know and I am sure that someone will be able to give you the contact details or you could search under each State governments web-sites for the relevent department. Failing all that try our Federal Police.

Don't give up mate as worms like this give scrupulous traders a bad name.

Cheers

Murray

Refer to the thread below in regards to information on Maximum Car Performance.

The local police stations around the area are:

  • Runaway Bay - Morala Ave 4216 (07) 5537 5099 (probably the closest to Labrador)
    Surfers Paradise - 68 Ferny Ave 4217 (07) 5570 7888
    Southport - 96 Scarborough St 4215 (07) 5571 4222

To dial this = international access number + 61 + 07 + 5537 5099

maybe try the ACCC, they deal in this sort of dodgy stuff, but worst comes to worst, call a guy up called 'Ray Martin' he has a show called A current affair, and it shows dodgy buisness men all the time, harrasses them, and they give your moeny back instead of being on tv as being dodgy.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
