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....

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.

      Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine
