I'm not sure if whiteboy ever got told the truth about his turbo and parts......

Short story is it wa sold him and never delivered now posted

BSA then sold it to another guy and the car came to my shop for BSA to fit the thing and do a dodgy external gate modification.

The gate modification was an abortion and he manged to destroy my holesaw in the process, it was a waste of good welding gas too!

The job was half done before Blake had to go back to working on the trailer he was doing for me. So he got one of his "mates" Luke to come up and finish the turbo installation job.

Luke did a decent job and the dump pipe/screamer was then fabricated out of offcut bits of scrap that BSA had laying around everywhere.

The car then got driven home by BSA and returned to the owner.

Luke was and still is owed $300 for his time spent finishing the job......

The turbo which belonged to whiteboy is still on another car which has some rude dump pipe hanging off the back of it.

Whiteboy hasn't been repaid what he was owed (no surprises there)

I believe the reason BSA never sent the turbo/exhaust etc is the fact that he didn't have the exhaust etc and the condition of what je did have was so under par it wasn't worth sending! Same as the intercooler kit!

Blake has been given untill the 6th to begin repaying me the money I've been duded. It has been made very clear to him that should he miss a payment or have any bullshit banking issues there will be debt collectors knocking on his/his parents door.

I already have the address to send them too and already have the right group of debt collectors to send, they have been very successful in the past.

It's also worth mentioning that the only asset BSA has is an e36 BMW which he purchased very recently (presumably with all of your money)

I made the offer to square his debt if he signed the rego papers over to me. I don't believe the car has even been transfered into his name though as when the plates were run it's owned by someone else.....

The people I use handle all of my Problems and are very efficient. It does cost a few bucks but if it means I recover 80% of what's owed it's well worth it.

Bsa's problem is his broke and really only has one asset that's not worth the sum of what he owes.

This Friday his due to make the first payment to me. If it's not there he has been warned I'll be sending collectors.

The other way for people to act is to file a small claims case

Yehh, you just gotta keep in mind that debt collectors can't just magically go and get assets that Blake doesn't have. The man is broke, if he doesn't have your money and he doesn't have any assets to the value of your money then there's nothing debt collectors can do. Debt collectors also don't have THAT much power to do anything, not legally anyway. Really they just send persistent letters and legal ultimatums, they aren't allowed to intimidate, embarrass or demoralize anyone.

The best way to go about it would be to file a tort, or small claims case as Brad pointed out. Then the courts can determine what assets Blake has that can be liquidated. The problem is... It's lengthy and often expensive. For the sake of $700, it's probably not worth it, you're more likely to be better off just cutting your losses now.

Our debt collector is a chick and she got money out of Brett Stevens the useless carnt. If they have money there is a good chance you can get it. If not, well you might only get a portion of whats owed.

If only everyone was legitimate when doing business!

Good luck to everyone! Hope you get your money returned..

There are debt collectors and there are "debt collectors".

If I was this BSA bloke id start doing something to repay his debts.

"Debt collectors" are the best to use... So long as you leave no trace back to the company who ordered them be sent...

SAU probs wont get their hands dirty, and most likely, keep Bsa as a member of this forum.

for the rest of you buyers needing custom fabrication from this forum..just be extra cautious please :) your hard earnt money could fall for the same trap as myself.

i thought this forum was safe with legit people, if i knew i was gunna be jacked, i wouldnt have signed up.

goodluck to the rest of you and thanks for reading.

1. Which Admin did you report all of this to? With all the email, PM - and whatever other evidence you have?

2. What independent checks did you do first to ensure you were dealing with a legitimate and accountable business?

3. All approved SAU traders must go through a set amount of checks first and supply us with sufficient details. Not all businesses get approved, of that you can be certain as we reject quite a few.

4. It's a case of buyer beware. If you want to give money to users, or businesses (who, are circumventing SAU trading rules) - It's all at your own risk. We try to help where we can, but a fool and his money are soon parted unfortunately. We have lives, jobs, friends, hobbies outside of this place... Yet still have managed to get countless people's money back over the years, all are at least grateful.

Either way, don't come back here attacking site Admin for what is essentially your own fault. If you could give me one reasonable and legitimate reason why this is SAU's problem, and not yours - I'm all ears.

Mind you, this site, you do not pay to use. We do this job for you guys - for the love of it and nothing more.

I can understand you are a bit upset about being stooged, but end of the day this is an experience you either get over and learn from, or stay bitter about until the end of time.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
