Disgraceful...

I was burnt from a member on another forum, did the right thing and went to my local court and did my own civil claim against him. Went over to his house, handed him the papers for the claim, went back to court and told them the papers were served. By the time I got home he had sent me a PM saying he'll refund the money ASAP - didn't hold my breath...

About a month later I returned back to court telling them no resolution and they sent a local court officer over to inform him that if it wasn't resolved then they would be repossession his stuff and selling it to pay me back. Was later told that no one was home and the place appeared abandoned ... yeah right...

Waited a few months - wasn't in need of the money so wasn't a big priority, drove past his place and low and behold he was still living there. Went back to court to tell them this and they sent another court officer over. Got a phone call from him saying to come over and get the money. Went over and his dad was there - he was mega pissed at his son because it dragged out so long as the court officer was about to start taking their stuff! Classic, got my cash and left...

So, to people reading this, pop down to your local court and speak with a civil claims register and get the ball rolling. Do it legally and do it right, get all your shit together like transactions, emails, receipts ect ect so you have a file on hand. You don't need to present it when you make the claim but it's good to have it ready. It doesn't take that long and it isn't expensive. You're also entitled to INTEREST.

Brad, if you read this - if you don't want your equipment seized and auctioned off to repay the people you've taken money from without supplying the goods they paid for then I suggest you pull your finger out of your arse and start taking steps to repay or supply what they've paid for. Your business could very easily be closed down very quickly if you ignore it and you will have absolutely nothing.

Check out post 306

And then travel down to post 313 to see a comment in regards to people on here who are defending him

f**k me... Tomorrow ill post picks of the quality work I paid for in advance to only to have my car rusting out the front of his house/workshop

I don't keep my text messages but I'm sure if I cold be bothered ( to actually ask for them) I can write a 4 year timeline of bs about my car and progress that didn't happen

Fatz are you implying anythjng about me regarding that post?

Yes i spoke to him re the situation but I dont know what he is on about that I was apologising. Why would I apologise for anything??

Re me pleading his case I merely stated the sumps had been sitting on the bench and Brad should have finished them and sent them off. I actually agreed with him and said it want good. That is what I wrote here earlier ie that I saw the sumps on the bench!!

He had a friend with him that stated his role was to help manage his own fabrication business ie workshop and customer management etc etc and that is what brad was lacking, I simply agreed.

It was obvious he was upset that my car was getting worked on and others wasn't. Whilst I feel for those guys it's not my fault.

Just read what darwinchops wrote; I have no idea who that bloke is and frankly I don't care, but 'constant defence of character''?? Just to clarify for the 10th time, I am only stating my own personal experience with the guy, why can't people get that through their heads????

Update: i still havent been sent my surge tank after getting in contact with Brad last week, not returning any calls or responding to any emails, anyone had any luck?

Edited by Greekos

Yup had bad dealings to, i was one of the lucky ones who got my car back twice after having to take it back after a gearbox mount was welded crooked and him forgetting to weld in harness plates for my passenger after doing my cage.

In light of everything that has been happening pro fabrication as a whole will be changing hands this coming week with a new owner.

The bussiness has grown to something I am unable to manage, fabricate, account keep, market etc etc so the time has come to do something about it and get it back on track.

There is to be a new owner who has already employed a full time workshop manager and a 2nd fabricator.

I will be staying on as a fabricator and this change will allow me to go back to the core of what I do best.

Now part of this exchange involves squaring off all the outstanding issues that are surrounding the business. Be it self inflicted or externally influenced.

I will make this very clear. Those who are unhappy email me your concerns and your proposed solution & between the new owner and myself we will be rectifying all concerns in the coming week or two one by one as a part of the bussiness sale agreement.

Fatz your issue had nothing to do with profabrication it was a personal deal and will be sorted by myself.

Nick your cylinder head I'm fairly sure was also a personal dealing??

Despite the issues as of late there is no denying by anyone that for years I have been supplying this community with quality cages and alloy work with far more happy customers than unhappy ones.

I want to thank everyone who has ever supported me and the bussiness it has been a tremendous roller coaster and the new owner has more plans to further expand the bussiness.

Hopefully in time people from this community realise this has been a tough time for myself and will be prepared to give us their work again knowing things are in control again.

To this who have been extending the hated towards myself and the business I'd also like to thank you.....

You've given me the drive to sell off the bussiness and change my lifestyle which needed to happen. I've been stressed for years over the workshop its had its ups and downs. Now my life can have some consistency and ill still be able to do what I love doing.

The new owner of the bussiness at this stage is unknown to the SAU community but is certainly not a stranger to the performance car industry.

For those wanting to contact the workshop there will be a new landline number in the coming week which lll be happy to notify people off.

So that is the solution for the bussiness current issues and I'd ask those involved to be patient over the next week or so as we arrange refunds and deliveries etc.

Brad,

I have held off on posting, but I need to post at this time. I hope to receive a response.

Please provide me with an update of your proposed soloution to handle the "Returned undercarrariage BCNR33 GT-R fuel surge tank", "damaged BCNR33 GT-R combo blowby/washer tank" and "two missing filters for BCNR33 GT-R combo blowby/washer tanks".

Respectfully,

This is how I saw things panning out long term, and honestly, is probably for the best so long as the new owner delivers on his promises, whatever they might be, now and in the future.

Not many would doubt the prices or the work, so if they remain the same, but someone else is at the helm, everybody will probably be happier.

Good luck to all.

i find this very interesting mate if this is the case! or is this just another bullshit lie?

does the "new owner" know that you have never had an employee on the books? What about your base statements? or lack of tax lodgment? not to mention the cash in hand jobs that you have been doing with people!!

you have never honored anything before so why would or should we believe that this will be now rectified?

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
