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.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
