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.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
