Hey VIC SAU'ers..

Since August last year, I've had some dramas with Memph.... aka Steve. I bought an oil pressure gauge, water temp gauge from Memph (Steve), and both didn't work. He REFUSED to return my money, saying he didn't have any to give me.

Steve sent me a steering wheel in exchange as he couldn’t afford to give my money back (and I felt for him and his story). The steering wheel, although in its box was too poor to put in my car, scratched and looking shabby (not as described at all - he said it was like new).

So, again, feeling bad for Steve I didn't insist on my money back.

I bought some R33 GTR "V spec" (although now I don't think they are even v spec ones, just stockers) cams off Steve, and they were not fresh machined as stated. He says they were, but the rust speaks for itself. I have now been told they don’t work- although there is enough grey area as I knew the issue prior to purchase. That said, they were not fresh from a machine shop as described.

Steve then stated I should have done more research.

Admin is well aware of this issue.

When I talked to Steve about this, initially he was helpful but ignored me once I wanted anything back. He is happy for me just to leave it as is. I told him I would give everything back to him - then I got a PM with him keen to meet up.

So, anyone else had any drama's with this guy? I'm down $450 bucks and have a bunch of usless crap. I'm not happy, and Steve sure isn't helping.

Ok, I didn't explain this well.

Initally when I bought the gauges, Steve din't have the money to pay me back. I accepted this (having been a student myself) and took the wheel insted of cash. When I found out it was shonky, he offered me these "fresh machined" cams at a discounted price, at the time it seemed a good idea - and again I felt sorry for him being a poor student with no money to pay me back. I'm prepared to admit thats a bit stupid, however I was just trying to do the right thing by someone whos story I beleived.

Anyhow, I know there was an issue, however Steve told me the V spec cams were different to the standard ones, and these were fresh.... which clearly they are not.

I waited to give him time to fix this issue, and now after speaking to admin this post was the next step.

lol memph...

funny bloke... when he was first trying to buy a skyline he wanted mine when i was selling... then came and wanted to take it to a mechanic mate of his who knew lots about nissans... LOL

Went all the way out there and he reckoned it needed 3ks worth of work to get a RWC... LOL again. Not being that stupid and knowing what the car was worth at the time i obviously declined the offer and drove it home.

Took it to a mechanic i had never used before and it cost me about $300 to get RWC (second hand tyres and a wheel alignment and replaced a steering arm). Was a nice try tho :)

Recently I swapped a FMIC for a R32 gear and dash surround and $100 (my way).. was a JustJap cooler so only cost me about $145 cause i got it at a christmas special ;) so i was happy.

Its definately not the same guy as I used to know Steve personally

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its not. And, I know a few people who have had trouble free dealings with him. Thats just not what I had....

Neddless to say, even withthis post he still hasn't communicated any type of deal with me (expect he'll take the parts back rather than me throwing them out).
