OK just like naming a workshop is not allowed, neither are personal attacks.

d0p3y and Uwish, or anyone else who wants to start something, it will be a banning.

Dom,

we all know there are TWO sides to this story.

A GTR for 12k lol You a silly for buying it!

You shouold start telling the truth.

Were you kept in formed the whole way? Thought so.

How long does it take to pull GTR TTs off?

You should really settle the matter before crying on a public forum

12k for a skyline is great.I am assuming its a race only import.Beats spending all the extra for a road going version if you only intend on hitting the track

is it Dogs Race Cats?

gl with your court case mate, bend them over and f**k them good. (not literally)

Apart from being wrong, you are trying to circumvent some clear rules with your post. Don't do it.

Hey I'm interested to know something -

(without being a smart ass) how is spreading the word via PM any different from posting it in a thread?? Due to the fact the information is obviously available to anyone who requests a PM, it's seemingly as freely available as simply posting it in a thread. Since people have mentioned that they have received the PM with the shop name in the thread here, would that in turn mean legal implications for those involved?? Or is it ok due to the fact they cannot prove which name was infact mentioned in the private message?? anyone in the know able to clarify??

Ryan i believe a PM would be OK, cos its not up for public display in the main thread in black an white for every1 and any1 to see. Hence no public defamation.

On the other hand surely theres a disclaimer saying that SAU cannot be held responsible and views and opinions of users do not neccessarily represent those of SAU?

Hmmm i just checked and can't find any disclaimer like this...actually quite the opposite, in sau guidlines it says all post are property of the poster AND SAU. I can see why the moderators are so anal about this now.

At 12.47 PM on Monday 3 December 2007 a Default Judgement for liquidated claim was entered at the Parramatta Local Court, Small Claims Division.

In case Number 2410/07:

The judgement entered in favour of the Plaintiff (me) against the defendant (a tuner) for an amount of $3553.19 plus $73.00 court costs.

This is 100% of what I was requesting as I was happy to pay for anything that I had been advised of and quoted beforehand.

Id say the matter should end here and hopefully this gives others encouragement to seek redress when they are hard done by. I was not greedy and I volunteered to pay for whatever is fair and the tuner should be happy as he got everything he had quoted and sought approval for.

I did not ask the court for interest on the overpaid amount, I did not ask for a reprieve for paying the whole bill, I still paid nearly $3,000 for a good few hour work and parts, which I feel comfortable with.

I think the most important lesson is, Dont accept any reccomendation on a forum or even from "friends" in person. I personally am assisted (in my Charity and racing endeavours) by Castrol Oil and SRF, Winford and Alto Ford, Express Glass and CHU insurance So perhaps I am blind to the costing and quality of their fantastic service. I have often reccommended these guys to others. So I am as guillty as anyone else on this forum of being a little biased.

What happens next is they have 28 days to pay me or lodge an appeal in a higher court.

Congrats man! Well done on doing what a lot of people wouldn't, not taking sh1t from bodgey idiots.

That is a good result!

And kudos as well for not being greedy! I hate reading stories where people take people to court and try and get more money than they should.

Good work and again, sorry that you went through that experience, and it does help/show others that the little guy can still win :(

Congrats on the result. Granville? Ok I'd like a PM too now please, that's too close for comfort!

BTW, did they even show up to the hearing or send a rep?

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
