Recently I've been inundated with people thinking work they have been paying BSA/ Blake / whatever else for has been completed my myself or pro fabrication.

I want to make this very very clear. Not one job blake has been paid for involves me or my business in any way. Cooler kits, catch cans, exhaust systems etc etc. If you haven't dealt with me directly then pro fabrication has has nothing to do with your job.

Blake came To my workshop to repair a damage trailer in which he was paid upfront for.

While waiting for materials to arrive I allowed Blake to complete some jobs he had individually been paid for. Obviously none of these jobs had been completed.

It appears he kept taking work and never completing the jobs.

One job is a return flow cooler kit that is sitting at my workshop unfinished and in a state that I wouldn't even consider fitting to a car.

Another is a whole r33 which has had a half arse attempt at an engine conversion done. And a cylinder head sold off without the owners permission.

Another is a catch can that's never even been fabricated as he can't afford to buy the alloy from me to do the job!

It needs to be made clear that people who have had dealings with Blake/BSA have not had dealings with me and I've never received any money for the jobs which I'm being chased for that have apparently been paid to Blake!

If you have email correspondence with me at pro fabrication then you can rest assured we are a legitimate business and what you have ordered is what you will receive. You should also have a legitimate invoice with my own bank details for payment.

If you have had dealings with BSA and were under the impression the work would be completed by my business I'm afraid you have been lied to and should contact the local police.

Wow that's not cool. No idea why you'd let someone complete their own jobs at your workshop though, that's just asking for all kinds of trouble :/

Does not surprise me with the way this guy talked in the HG thread from memory.

as long as you're getting your money, everyone else who got shafted can go f-themselves.

seems like it, very much so

That's probably a bit harsh; Risking is a guy running a business; BSA is a scammer who used a business to make himself look legit.

The Nigerian Royal family doesn't pick up the tab when people pour their life savings into scammers pockets.

It's a hard way to learn a lesson; but unfortunately you have to learn it.

Your acting like I'm the one who ripped you off still!

I've explained on an open forum what has been said between myself and you! I've tried calling you to organize sending you the half added intercooler you own which you declined.

I have gotten off my arse and been pro active in chasing Blake and being forcefull about receiving my money back.

Why don't you be the same and track down his address/contact number/phone police/hitman/whatever else you like.

I'm sorry you have been hardly done by but Holding me responsible because I'm here and Blake isn't just does not sound very fair....

Martin he wanted me to put a return flow intercooler kit together for him and charge him $200 as he already paid $500 to someone else and was ripped off

I approached him to offer some closure to his problem, explaining what I knew about the cooler and its current state,

he replied saying my work looked "pro" and offered to pay me $200 to do the job, I declined and stated my reasons, one being I spend more than that buying the materials required!

His obviously under the impression im in some way responcible and hasnt done anything about BSA himself

Now here is the EXACT photos I sent to Novus. I offered to post him this exact intercooler which is all that exists of his intercooler kit.

There is no pipes and there never was any.

I clearly remember one conversation I had with Blake when I suggested he just returned the guys money (this was months ago when I seen the intercooler for the first time and threw up!) he replied and said he had already done that.

Truth be told blake never even had a vehicle to build the kit on! how he planned to fabricate such an intricate piping system without a car is unknown to me I left the choice up to him if he wanted to spend the money having it posted to him.

He declined and told me to do whatever I wanted with it. Its still sitting next to my rubbish dumpster......

Make judgements as you will but I can sleep easy knowing that I have done nothing wrong here and only tried to offer someone some closure to being ripped off so atleast they knew what had become of their "kit"

Im not going to do a return flow cooler for $200. I dont even do cooler kits as its a pain when they dont fit and the chinese make enough kits to flood the market!

Ive been following this thread,

Brad, dont worry man,

Everyone can see whats going on.

So one guy cant handle the realities of life and blames you as well.

Seems you have learned one good lesson though; dont lend tools to tools. Ha!

Yeah its probly time to close the thread.

Man up and take responsibility for you own problems. No one likes a whining bitch.

I got ripped off $3000 early in the year, all gone. Guess what, it's my problem, no one elses.

Bad stuff happens, just gotta deal with it and move on. Placing the blame on other people is

what society finds acceptable these days, but really it just shows that in todays world

not many people have any dignity or self pride.

Risking I wouldn't even bother explaining or arguing with these people, you've said what you had to say

and anyone with a slight hint of a brain cell understands.

What really shits me is,when you get ripped off by these scum and call the cops.The cops 'cant' do anything about it.But when you find the scum and show him your anger,the cops are there in minutes.To arrest you,not the scum.

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
