Hi Guys,

This is a long shot, but I am getting royally farked around by Jason @ Brisbane Motor Imports. Purchased an engine off him November last year, failed to deliver on the engine and now won't refund me my 4k.

Am going through the courts now to get it back but he is mucking them around also.

What I am chasing is anyone with any information on Jason and his shop so I can venture over and pay him a surprise visit, even at his home.

Would love to gearbox his doorstep but I'm afraid he will rip me off with that before I can lift it to throw.

Cheers

this place? would appear to be a legitimate well established business, so would seem strange they just didn't deliver a 4k engine after taking payment. Is there more to the story?

That's the one.

Story goes, purchased engine for a Delica (Customer cooked it, looked around WA with my usual wreckers I deal with), google searched they popped up, spoke over the phone a couple of times talking about it told me he had one there, no dramas purchased 28th November.

Told me 2-4 weeks, yep ok. Week before xmas rung up asking about it, courier had it. No news over the xmas break which was understandable. Called back first week back after new years, same courier excuse.

Then from then on it was excuse after excuse about courier having it, then had to change courier as they were giving them grief.

After ringing around the couriers over there turned out no one had anything. questioned him about it and he came out and said he hadn't sent it.

Customer got upset we made the decision to recondition his engine, talked to BMI about a refund yep no worries wait for office girl to get in. Turns out she mustn't ever be in with the excuses I get now.

Am going through magistrates court as I am also a small business and can't do the usual stuff and WA laws are different than QLD apparently.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
