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.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=26793

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.

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
