This is a warning about a guy by the name of CHAD BARRETT

i have a warning to all skyline and high performance import owners, i beleive if someone is dodgy everyone deserves to know and be warned... especially if he preys on people with skylines or imports, if i don't say something others will continue to get ripped off.... please do not buy from or get involved with a guy by the name of CHAD BARRETT or his girlfirend kirsty who is just as bad as him. he sells parts on EBAY at good prices but gets you to pay then never sends them, he then closes his ebay account and moves on re registers under a different name and starts again, I have been watching him and you can pick who he is, he usually has parts new and used listed for skylines and imports, he will be registered as having little or no feedback or a new user, all his gear is listed as being in QLD he will also have lots of dummy bids by usually 15-20 bids by obvious fake ebayers with no feedback or again newly registered, he may also get you in by talking to you on MSN messenger and telling you what good prices he can get you stuff at or even offer you sponsership if you buy stuff from him....he'll take your money and then lead you on with hundreds of differnt excuses why you didn't get your gear....it got lost in the post, it's stuck in customs, the courier delivered it to the wrong address, ive been stuck in meeting all week at work, the list go's on.

the bottom line is this CHAD BARRETT and KIRSTY are CON's

so if you are considering buying skyline or Jap tuning parts from someone you don't know be sure his name is not Chad barrett (or kirsty) before you put money into their account

if anyone else has heard of this guy or has had similar dealings please PM me as we are working with and puting together information to show that these people are using fraud to obtain money by deception which is a very serious matter, you don't have to have been ripped off on ebay by him just in general is enough infomation to help....

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
