its funny how you always see some Guests or Anonymous users viewing this thread, any one affected go see a lawyer or even better http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/About_us/Online_services/Lodge_a_complaint.html

Brad is not going to man up and take responsibility he will keep stuffing everyone around and doing what he wants. if anyone affected wants to know more send me a pm and i will be happy to talk about my dealings with Brad.

  • 3 weeks later...

Still owes me cash .. Lots

Blokes like myself and boz had verbal agreements ( brad always did a good "cash price "

so a lot of leeway )

I recently scrapped my r31 shell , turns out 4 years of brad's 'work' rendered it shit (anyone who wants to seek brads work I have heaps of pricks of the state he left my car in)

Always happy to chat with anyone who is considering anything to do with this special person

Brad has matched the shitkuntery of just china, I will continue to tell anyone I deal with my experience

That would require action on the part of the victims, which to be honest seems a little lacking here. Aside from whinging and throwing hands up in the air.

I know I'm rustling some feathers suggesting this, but have any of you REALLY pursued this? It's a rhetorical question, lower your pitchforks.

Part of the reason this all blew up is I spoke out after doing a heap of digging, making calls, constantly applying pressure, etc. Did I say constant? I meant constant. Let me say constant a few more times.

I realise some of you are busy, your time is worth more than the lost parts/money, etc, and for those people, you'll just have to accept that you're never going to see the parts or money with the occasional passive aggressive email/text/call/SAU post. Hell, even regular contact and quite obviously pissed was not enough to get him to give me my goods. It was daily harassment in the end, sometimes multiple times, that got me my parts.

Some of you need to spend more time focusing on him and less time worrying about if anyone else has got their stuff/money. You're not going to get anywhere that way.

I really feel for you guys, some of you are out of pocket a lot more than I was and have been for a lot longer time, but you will never get anywhere with it without a SUBSTANTIAL effort on your part. Brad has proven himself countless times, you know what you're dealing with and that should tell you how hard you're going to have to work. So either dig in and commit to it (like I did because it was a matter of principle) or forget about it, chalk it up to the risks of online trading and move on - and do as Fatz does and tell EVERYONE you know to stay away.

Thieving scumbag deserves jail time.

This.

Amazing the thief has been getting away with this for such a long time …I have seen other people getting touched up over much less.

Sincerely hope the guys who have lost a lot of money can recover their cash/parts.

So is now a good time to show some of my work ;)

Sucks to hear of so many people being ripped. Being in the fab business, it definitely isn't easy to make a good quality product and there aren't many people out there that take there that are prepared to spend the money for a quality job and even less which take the time, pride and care to do so and that is why so many people come and go.

Unfortunately people have to learn from others mistakes, but it will happen again because people forget in a few years and then someone else comes along and does the same thing....it happens since there is a constant supply of willing customers coming into the scene, innocent first timers, thinking they can build a car from behind a keyboard.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
