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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
