I've just had an engine built from scratch with all new high quality parts by a very reputable mechanic. It produced nearly 700 rwhp and has only travelled 3,000 km ( 1,500 km of which was limited to 4,000 rpm ). Recently The clutch started to make a squeling\grinding sound that would not go away .. I removed the transmission as i thought it may be a throw out bearing or a clutch plated has bound up on the centre boss. When the trans was removed i turned the engine and found a scraping noise coming from behind the flywheel, Removed the clutch and flywheel assembly to find the clutch lug nuts on the engine side of the flywheel to be rubbing on the shim plate on the rear of the engine. I checked the crank float and found the float to be 1.2mm obviously way out of spec and causing this noise. When I contacted the mechanic he said it was the 4 plate clutch I supplied him ( it was a brand new ORC ) that caused the damage . What I would like to know is how much damage do you think it has caused and if the clutch could be responsible for the damage . Thanks guys

Thanks guys- Its taken alot of time and all my money but it all came together at the end.

I've finally finished my project - only took 11 years 695 HP

Guys just want to let you know I recieved the gauges 2 weeks ago.

Guys I initially Pm'd Blitz with all the details of the person that ripped me off. I did it very nicely and provided all relevant information. As I said police have been notified and will take action in due course. Alot of people have stated that starting a thread asking if anyone knows anything about the member "vixta" who ripped me off will not help in getting my money back . This might be true but there is a possibility someone on this forum might have dealt with this person in the past and knows some details that would be of help to me . Sorry ,but it takes me more than 3 weeks of solid work to save $725 so I think you can understand why Iam so p****d off with this low life scum.

The reason why I put this additional thread up is that i was extremely annoyed and surprised at R31nismoids response to my earlier thread and to make matters worse he then locks the thread so I cant reply. I thought the best way to find out information about the guy who ripped me off is to ask fellow SAU members if they have dealt with this person and if they have any details about her - I think this is common sense. For the life of me i cant understand why R31nismoid writes pathetic comments in my earlier thread like "I cannot magically make your silly EFT, return to your account." and "Starting a thread like this will not help you out." I am currently in the process of filing a police report but in the mean time I would appreciate any information.

For your information I have emailed 3 days ago Blitz with all the information regarding the member vixta who is the person who ripped me off. Sorry I didn't realize I had to send you one too . I cant beleive you wrote a stupid comments like "I cannot magically make your silly EFT, return to your account" I know that ,but think about it - there might be someone on this forum that posted some purchased goods to vixta therefore knowing their address - it aint rocket science mate. Fair enough you dont care that I've lost $725 but I thought as an administrator you would give me every opportunity to see if I could find someone that knows about this person. I was wrong.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me here ? Over 3 weeks ago I paid $725 for 4 Defi gauges from a member called vixta from this link : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/345384-defi/page__p__5568059__hl__defi__fromsearch__1#entry5568059 After sending her an email regarding the where abouts of my gauges the next day she posts another response on her other forum still trying to sell my gauges which I paid for 3 weeks ago: link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/344494-60mm-gauges/page__p__5591043__fromsearch__1#entry5591043 The persons name is : A N Hunter Her bank account details are as follows : bsb:806015 acc:222025 Police And Nurses Credit Society. I have spoken to evilr32 who is very goodfriends with her and he said he will help me so awaiting his reply. I would appreciate any assistabce in trying to locate this person. Thank you Paul
