I've Been Ripped Off

[mr_rbman]

basically guys i purchased this diff http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...l=nismo+1.5+way almost a year ago now and for many reasons i've only just gotten round to installing it. I decided to take it to a diff specialist to install it and as soon as he looked at it he said 'mmmmm this doesn't look to be a mechanical diff at all' once he took it apart it definitely wasn't and as you can imagine i was more than a little pissed off.

basically i'm wondering if any of you know this guy? or any more contact details for him?

the only contact details i have for him is:

MR A. Ryan

PO box 29

Park Orchards

Victoria

3114

[email protected]

I've sent him an email but have not yet received a reply.

I haven't gone to the cops yet, i've decided to give this guy 1 week to give me my money back.

So if you are mates with this guy or know anything about him please let me know here or by pm.

If any of you have some suggestions of what i should do now that would help too!

Much appreciated, Ash!!!

Smash his PO Box thing at the post office in... atleast its a start? sounds like an asshole to me.

It sucks, but it has been a year. There isnt much you can do now except put it down to a shitty experience.

That said, if he is a genuine guy and you can get in touch with him, then he may be happy to come to an agreement

[Interloper]

i've bought parts off him, no real problems but maybe communication could've been better...

but bad luck dude, i've been ripped off by another guy before and it sux, but it wasn't worth the hassle as it was only $120.....

i've managed to get his mobile number, he's saying that he's crashed his gtr and doesn't have a cent to give me.

roy: i know its been a long time but there's many reasons why its taken me so long to get to this stage!

i do think he's a pretty genuine guy and was good to deal with when i bought it but it still doesn't excuse the fact and i'm still no less pissed off!

and it was $700 so i can't afford just to forget about it!

[mr_rbman]

have been continually messaging him for the last 24 hours but he keeps saying he has no money and can't give me anything, just be careful of this guy if your dealing with him and your from another state!

Thats not good enough... im sure he can give you a small sum of money now, he was the one who sold you the dodgey goods in the first place. For him to turn around and just say badluck is just a kick in the balls... i would be returning that kick in the balls with interest to him.

[foznice]

I agree with the para.

[Interloper]

having no money is understandable. Ask him to give you parts off his GTR as payment - still plenty goodies left to compensate you with

thats what i said but he said everything is sold except the guages and he said he's going to send them to me but i told him thats nowhere near enough!

i'd luv to kick him in the balls but i can't afford the plane ticket over there!

[KamikazeR33]

haha could this b another sau vic stakeout? lol

[evade]

thats what i said but he said everything is sold

so if everything has sold why doesnt he have any cash

[Interloper]

ask for these seats as payment

It was a private sale, and you took the risk of buying an item interstate, you have no case.

Anyway, I still do not understand why the seller would sell a fake diff if they prefered pickup?

[Mean_R34]

Fark it.

Hire a low rent hitman!

[dezz]

600 bucks for a full set of GTR seats...either they're farked or he's desperate

Or even the organ in the back ground...that should be worth that sort of money

[mr_rbman]

he says everything is sold or waiting on payment and all the money is supposedly going to unpaid bills/loans etc.

This diff specialist defintely knows his stuff, he had a mechanical there and showed me the difference and the one i got sold is definitely just a plain standard diff.
