Sorry to hear mate. I feel for you. It's a shame because everyone i have delt with on sau has been excellent to deal with. Hopefully you get some explanation at least

Reading this makes me very angry on your behalf Glen.

I'm very sorry you've been taken like this and on SAU too. It's disappointing and gut wrenching, but stop kicking yourself.

'Karma' will collect its dues. It always does :yes:

Believe it ! & take solace from it.

This guy will need to keep looking over his shoulder and wonder when very bad things happen, if 'karma' was the reason.

I wish you the best outcome.

Ps. Could you please provide details and business names - Thank you

G'day all...

I've waited some time for advice from admin before I posted the result of this transaction more or less because I feel like a fool, but nothing has come therefore I have duty of care to warn other forum users about Christian aka I LOVE GATE, The bottom end turned up unsealed and full of dust, the block was missing the majority of the head studs, the block is cracked in at least 4 places (stopped counting) all the pistons have metal impregnated in the skirts and #6 has a section which has melted, all the bearings have metal impregnated, 3 broken oil squirters, the crank is 1 size under on the big ends and the mains are 1/2 size under, the rods have massive id pin punches, that's along way short of the description at the top of this thread, Christian has refused to accept a return, a number of businesses have lied during my investigations,

I cant be bothered adding any more....

Glen...

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
