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.

Pro fabrication

Looking like more bullshit.

i can confirm

there are new business owners

and a good team working there

do the "new" owners know how much the business owes because regardless they now have to front the cost to pay back and what not if it goes legal!

which it should people!

Frosty, that purely depends on how the sale was done. Any smart business person would purchase such as to avoid purchasing any debt at the same time. (buy all items of property, client base, and trading name, but not the ABN).

Either way, everyone affected is still in a bad position.

CTTT costs very little to utilise, I'd suggest you all make some calls and do some reading as I did, start getting your paperwork sorted and copies of any supporting docs you need then lodge a claim.

No idea, I don't work for them and I took action well before any of that became an issue - by calling them.

I suggest you call them and ask them about your particular situation rather than relying on Internet advice.

CTTT Hearing ie; mediation

Defendant enters an agreement to pay, if the defendant fails to pay agreed amount then the full amount becomes due

Garnish the bank account/s and % of any earned salary from employer.

Send the sherrifs in to collect personal assets/goods to the value of the agreed debt

Defendant declares bankruptcy

Don't ask me how I know this, right/wrong place right/wrong time - but some guy said on the site that Rajab is the master of RB's - the wasteland guys got a hold of it. There was also some other guy that knew a guy that was saying "praise rajab" every time something went good. I think the two have now been put together and the wasteland now has a demi rajab supreme ruler.

Edit: well you see its made it into the forum filter - writing a-llah, or g-od now becomes rajab

unless brad and the new owner did so and letters, documents of intent, tax decs etc were provided, they are held accountable. Further to that the business will become accountable and thus not directly brad leaving the new owners to debt/bankruptcy.

personally i dont think that is the case and this is a front to hide exactly that....

Wow this thread was an interesting read. If I was a customer of this guy and knew where he worked, I would have paid him a couple of visits by now!

Remember, if it was a cash job you never existed :ninja:

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
