I'm VERY tempted to send his dad an email with the link for this thread /looking at mods - not a good idea?

I work at the fraud department at ANZ, he didn't have an ANZ account that you wired your money too did he?

I still think this definitely be taken further than just getting money back. But that's just my two cents.

Count me in on the action. I dont think that any violent acts/law breaking would represent SAU forum in a positive way nor would it really make up any difference of $7400.

I would seriously front to XXXXXXX if a group of us got together in force to request the money back from this 'Jordan' character.

If gookboi would be so kind as to scan and email a copy of his wire copy original and write out his story in a signed statement, the least we could do as SAU representatives is front 'Jordan' and ask his story.

If 'Jordan' denies all involvement, which is very likely, then we can take the evidence we have to the police in which we have all rights to do.

At the end of the day, it would be the right thing to do and would make a good point of saying that 'SAU does not condone fraudulant/illegal activities'..

What do you think?

It's a bit of a mob mentality that's starting to go on here. Fair enough he's made a mistake, either consciously or not, and now he's paying it back. People have been warned about his behaviour, and he's likely not to get much business until this matter gets forgotten. Case closed?

It's bad enough it happened in the first place, no need to start a lynch mob armed with tar and feathers to create a second mistake....

My point exactly. I still think that something should be done.

Maybe we could all donate a gold coin to SAU to allow for a debt collector to find this missing money.

Just remember Doughboy, if you were short $7400 i would expect you to sort legal advice. I think gookboi is either rich, helpess or crazy. I would definitely miss $7400 in cash.

My whole point is to make a statement. That statement being 'don't abuse your priveledges on the SAU forum'. Just preaching 'watch out for blah blah' is not stopping the problem, its sidestepping the problem. Taking action and showing other members that SAU are serious about fraudulent activities is very important.

I would like to continue purchasing and selling goods over these pages, hassle free!

Even some official SAU closure on this issue would be nice! It does directly effect the way that i will continue use the forum, that's for sure. Surely an issue that effects its members should be investigated and brought to closure, i don't call that 'tar and feathers action'.

Hang on, let me get this straight. One person has come forward regarding being "ripped off", plans are being made up to re-imburse and now you want to persue the matter further? I don't recall anyone carrying on wanting to incite a rebellion with (insert business name here) over Dicky's missing parts/money.

Furthermore, why is it acceptable to allow this thread to continue to probe a person, with full mention of their contact details, business address etc. when it is STRICLY VERBOTEN to have a similar thread in direct relation to a business? I can recall a ton of posts being deleted and edited because they involved negative comments towards a business before, why is it being overlooked now?

Mob mentality at it's finest.... or should I say lemmings?

beacuse the said person misused these forums and as a result was banned from here. In fact, there is a list of bad traders on this forum and he's already mentioned on there.

Also no-one is making comments about the business practices itself..people have mentioned where he works and that in light of the difficulties in contacting him, some suggested contacting him through the business.

It has been about 6 months since he had my money. And because i started posting, he got some what scared of what it might do to his fathers shop and wanted to pay me back.

We in no way wanted harm to come to the company. We referred to it as a contacting place to recieve his attention and it seemed to work nicely.

Chris, hold on just a second.

As it happens I know of at least two others on SAU who have been badly shafted by DESCR8, although not to the extent of $7400, who have yet to see this thread. In my opinion, until DESCR8 comes good on his promise and pays back g00kboi, and settles his issues with other members, the big issue is far from over.

One thing I do agree on is being very careful at this time and not jeopardising g00kbois immediate chance of being reimbursed. If and when this occurs, then and only then should any further action be considered.

Also regarding the business Vs. individual slandering, I see your point, however many of those who have been screwed by DESCR8 have documentation and evidence of conversations between themselves and Jordan, so there are no unfounded accusations flying, and no rumours as Jordan has admitted being at fault.

As far as im concerned, this thread is ok and its staying open to inform SAU's members of the progress of this situation.

I would however like to see it trimmed back and certain comments and threats being removed.

i reckon a good going over this thread censoring it is in order, with his contact details and business links edited out. However his name and shenanigans should be left on here to demonstrate exactly why he shouldn't be dealt with and also in order to help others taht he may have rorted.

It seems that Jordan went through with the transfer and just recieved the fax that says it has been sent.  

so if the mods can be kind enough to delete this thread. Jordan wants the thread to be erased.

Wait until it appears in your account.

I agree, and i will do this as soon as soon as you have definately got the money back g00kb0i...let us know.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
