the workshop is liable regardless of what they think or argue. you provided your car for "services" and in turn its in their duty of care. this inckudes making reasonable steps to protect your asset. if they continue to argue and legal case yields zero then plaster their name on every forum once you are allowed to and watch the workshop melt to nothing. business exists to make a profit but it must also accept reasonable liability inthe process of. much the same as if someone dropped an engine crane on the car whilst it was inside the workshop

if the truck and who ever picked it up made representation they were from "workshop" then the workshops liability insurance wouldcover any damages by employees or former employees making representation as the "workshop". i thnk youll be ok, let the cops do their bit then talk to wrkshop and ask why wont their liability insurance cover it. thats the point of liability insurance

White truck - no trading name on it

The legal advise I have from a high priced lawyer is that the workshop where the car was meant to go to has no responsibility or liability at all as the vehicle never went there.

The liability sits with the people that mis-represented themselves. It does help that they have supplied a FAKE receipt from the workshop it was meant to go to.

I have learnt that 2 other people are in a similar situation. 1 person has $28K worth of damage done. The other I do not know details of.

I have a feeling that the person with the 28K damage is going to "employ" a few debt collectors and both of us will receive every cent we are owed in damages. I have asked this person not to tell me the details. I don't want to know.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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
