Interesting read on that link. So Chris is Auger Torque and Mark is MR Tuning?

No, Chris is just a wealthy property developer.

Mark Rayner is the proprietor of Auger Torque and major sponsor of Nemo Racing. Mark basically bankrolled the whole operation. If it weren't for him, and a few other sponsors, it'd be a rolling shell, like it was 6 months ago.

They consolidated the writers and photographers as well. From what I understand there is not much money being made in magazines and they have looked to save money.

Yeah I know, they just need to stop selling either hpi or fast fours. It's a rip off and just plain lousy to buy both mags and find they have the same content. It really needs it's own topic, I'll start one soon.

Hopefully this mark guy can take Nemo to greater places, what is funny though is no matter what our budgets are wether it's 2500 or 2.5m we all go over them haha

Just saw this on facebook https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151953009431421&set=a.416699831420.214812.689711420&type=1&theater

Seems like there are some serious dramas coming to light in the Nemo camp. Looks like we'll never see that car on track again.

Wow, did you guys catch this on Oz Evo regarding Nemo?

WARNING this guy Chris Eaton, username mr2cje is a thieving *#@T

If anyone knows the whereabouts of this dog Chris Eaton please get in touch with me on my page or talk with the admins who most of them know who I am & have a way to contact me.

His latest scam is a $9000 credit card charge for items he should have paid for during WTAC. What no money to pay Chris like in the past when I had to bail you out just so Nemo was a scrap heap with parts everywhere to cover unpaid bills from building & running the car at WTAC 2012, anyone can build a car & win an event when you get the best guys to build it for you & then don't pay them. This is the same guy that big notes himself about having this & having that yet he has ripped many people off & they are all coming out & getting in touch with me. Your deluded stories you have on the matter are so far from the truth it is sad really as he to is taking you guys for a ride like everyone else. The dog refuses to answer my calls or emails.

I even have sponsors chasing parts to be returned that where leant to us as mock up which I can't return, other sponsors that have given us parts to use & return.

To all others out there I know & that know Chris & is back ground please speak up so the truth can come out of how much he was in the shit with that car & who bailed him out.

He has already had the Porsche repo'd http://aussieexotics.com/forum/cars/pickle...rs-22122.0.html which he has kept quite from family, sorry but NAB took it, his building in Toowong repo'd as well, he has plenty of parts on the car that where invoiced to me & paid for by me, there is still money outstanding for the build from 2012. Time is getting near & unless he grows a set & sorts it out soon then the final nail is going in!!!!

Any questions anyone has fire away & I will answer what ever I can. I am sick of sitting on the fence waiting for the piece of shit to try & resolve it, clearly he won't as a leopard doesn't change his spots & I had to do his dirty work last year & pay all of his creditors just so the car could be put back into one a rolling shell, I won't go into the other money spent getting it ready for this year but suppliers already know who paid the bills & the truth behind it all.

I am sure we have enough evidence for legal action for those that are still owed money & those that know the back ground story I am sure we will talk soon enough about where to from here in terms of doing it.

Anyone that is offered parts from the car please be in touch with me prior as you may well be buying what turns out to be stolen property.

I've never understood why someone would finance something like that.

If you're cashed up and wanna spend it on motorsports, sure go ahead, we love watching the builds and the results.

Financing it though? Seems beyond stupid.

I guess he was hoping he'd win all that prize money they always have on offer...

I guess mark reynor would know the cost lol, I was only going off what a fella I won't name told me. He also said the evo of race solutions cost close to a mil. He told me a few other things about Nemo which have been revealed so I wouldn't be too surprised.

I think last year they had two engines worth 50-80k at the event a transporter and all the jazz. I think the real cost is in developing something as it always costs the most to build the first one of something.

Who cares, I just want to see nemos true potential but in the mean time it's entertaining to see ppls dirty laundry

Mick is spot on, cost is in the development stage and that car is still being developed continually as are all our cars. It's never ending. Having a team out at every track day, fuel, parts etc etc etc is huge. Can't see any change from half mil. If mark takes ownership of this car that will be great, someone will get it really cheap if he doesn't. Will be interesting to see what lap times it can do if it ever gets sorted, as I went over data from last years 1.25 lap to the new vid they have put up which I'm taking a guess was their 1.27 lap, and the car was 20km faster down the straight from the previous year. Corner speeds were similar in most except coming onto the main straight, last year was 82, this year 115km so if it held up the cars lap time would be interesting to see.

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