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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
