Okay I'll ask in this thread rather than start a new one as we are in need of some further advice

Situation so far is Paul is overseas and not returning texts or calls

I went to his house earlier tonight and his daughter and her boyfriend are staying there at the moment

The boyfriend Bryiden ( or something like that ) was helpful in so far as he indicated that Paul will be back shortly but not sure as to when

He was unable or unwilling to open the garage saying it was locked and the side door had swollen shut due to the rain we have had. The boyfriend is going to try and contact Paul and I left him my number to let me know any outcomes

Now what I need to know is if I can take the police with me to gain access and retrieve my parts as well as those of Cameron's or is it more of a matter for the Sherriff?

I don't want to go about this the wrong way as I don't want to end up in trouble with the law.

Also want to know if anyone else has parts that they are owed can you please post in here with a description or PM as I will gain entry to the garage and I can see what is there and retrieve anything I can for myself and others

After speaking to Cameron earlier it is sounding like if we don't get our stuff now or in the very near future it will be gone for good

So any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Martin

I prob would wait till Paul gets back to you, and if the boyfriend doesn't get back to you, I'd just keep going there an bugging them until he does, surly he will be able to get a hold of him.

I wouldn't be going into anyone's garage to take back, your or anyone else's parts.

How would u feel if someone went into your garage, going though your sht and everyone else's.

In saying that I'm not defending Paul, I've had my own issues with him. Which are similar to yours, and it did my head in.

But I just don't think going into the garage is the right thing.

You would need some sort of police warrant to go there smash down the door and get your gear back, the police would have to do it all, and you would need to supply proof that, you haven't paid for Paul's services, and that you own everything you plan to take.

Hassle the boyfriend, get into contact with Paul. When his back, hassle the fark out of him. Once you get your sht back, never use him again.

Simple

Go and talk to the Police about the ramifications of reporting it stolen, as they are not going to do anything unless that happens - see what they say as essentially that is what has occurred.

Not planning to smash my way in but as I see it I am entitled to retrieve my parts with the home occupiers permission

I have proof of ownership for my parts so he way I see it is I own them I'm taking them with me

I did here back from the boyfriend and there may be a simple outcome to this yet

And yes i would be very pissed off if someone came into my garage and went through stuff

However in saying that it would never happen as I would never take any sort of work on without being able to complete said work, or in short I would never let myself get into that sort of position.

Having just re read m post yes it is over the top to take anyone else's parts however I can still have a look to see what is there if someone is owed. Was more of a trying to help others thing but might just leave that alone for now

FWIW no one else has come forward so it must only be myself and Cameron who are chasing our stuff

I had not thought of doing that

Only spoke to them about entry etc

Will call them and ask as it may have to come to that

Glad you re-phrased, sounded like you were going to reclaim anything you can, which could be another unfortunate customers parts like yourself. That would be painful.

Not everyone would of read this thread to inbox you.

Don't you have a engine being built by Paul aswell..? How it that progressing.?

Well I've been sent a couple of pictures of my things - Looks like "most" of the parts are there. Hoping m.j.h can locate the missing items tomorrow evening!

Ill ring you when I'm there and you can tell me what is yours

If you have pics they must have got the garage open so this is a good start

Good News, well semi good news!

I should have the engine back in my possession tomorrow or Monday at the latest TNT were booked to pickup the pallet this afternoon! Fingers Crossed.

So far the missing parts tally stands at

2 x Sets of Rings

1 x Set of Bearings

Set of ARP Head Studs

Misc Nuts and bolts.

I hope this is all... Will know more when the Pallet arrives and hopefully Paul picks up his phone.... Until now his phone just rings out.

Thanks again to M.J.H for his assistance on this matter, Let hope you get all your parts located also!

Cheers

Cameron

Well Engine Arrived as safe as can be expected.

Missing parts list now includes:

1 x HKS Intake Cam Gear

Custom Modified CAS

So If anyone knows anyone selling any of the above I'll need to replace everything that's missing.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
