Sucks to hear about the bullshit mate! I don't get why you would even risk ling to that extent. You could actually get in allot of trouble. False advertising etc...

O well. Can't wait to see this turn out....And some 4 wheel skids!!! :D

Have paid for my stroker kit and am now awaiting its arrival. :) :)

You can't blame your self, it wasn't exactly a random seller. Being a president clearly gave him some credibility, all he did was put a big dent in everyone's trust. It was/is a nice car there was no need to false advertise, engine is healthy and would be perfectly fine for 90% of people's use. However this obviously could have ended REALLY bad!!! cant wait to see this thing on the road!!! Keep the progresss flowing mate

Thanks Pat. The motor was pretty healthy it gave good compression results, engine ran well and the new owner is happy with it sitting in his R34 GT-R.

Nice build .. Look forward to seeing what numbers you punch out of the nitto stroker .

And sucks to hear about low life's that bullshit to make a sale .

Cheers mate, im looking forward to it aswell.

I have every intention of f**king him up in every way possible if he does not get in contact with me. 4 Wheel power skids FTW!

Imagine if you kept the -5's and went e85 like you had originally planned, that shit could have gone really wrong spinning that thing hard. Personally i would be trying to find his mobile/home number and chatting with him to see what he says. Generally i would have given him the benefit of the doubt and his builder had rolled him, however his shady actions hint other wise (blocking you, not replying etc)

On another note, it's good to see that you are keeping this car and going ahead with your build. You would have regret selling it, especially more so once it's back on the road.

Been a few changes in the build. After the heads get ported every component in the head will be Ferrea. I have ditched the HKS cams for custom made billet 280 IN/EX 11.50 lift cams + HKS Cam gears.

You say that on inspection it had standard cams... but early you said you have dtiched the HKS cams. Doesn't sound suss at all champ.

Also you say that he said it was going to be sold with, but the ad says differently...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/397234-r32-gtr-1994/?hl=%2Brbware

ENGINE
Forged pistons
HKS Cams - You said you removed those...
Complete re-built head w/copper head gasket
Motor balanced, blueprinted and crank tested
Baffled sump
Upom inspecting the block before the sale we see that the following are stock standard.
Standard Rods - Mentions nothing about rods the in the ad, (you know the difference between pistons and conrods right, just checking...)
Standard Rod Nuts and Studs - Mentions nothing about this either
Standard Main Studs - Or this...
Standard Head Studs... or this.........
Standard Cams - Once again think we addressed this....
I dunno man, sucks if it is this way it happened, but what you are saying isn't exactly lining up with whats on the ad.
Also becareful about what you say online, no matter what the outcome, identifying people and then calling people a liar (or as you spell it, lier), is slander and saying you will "f**k them up" is a threat, just saying, wouldn't want to get in shit for that sort of thing.
Bad news: Shane aka RBWARE is a lier.
The block has not been balanced the heads have not been rebuilt.

Firstly, how the hell do you balance a block.......no such thing!

Secondly, I would seriously take "Barricade's" advice and maybe refresh yourself with the rules of this forum.

This is a build thread not a Slander thread!

You've provided no evidence of any written material suggesting what the engine had done to it and likewise no evidence in writing to suggest what it didn't have and how do we know that you haven't ditched the items that were supposed to be in the engine (i.e. post #20 re HKS Cams)............therefore everything said in here is merely heresay.

Take this up with the seller privately but keep it out of here and if he doen't repond to you, that is not this site's problem......on that note though, have you heard the term "caveat emptor"?

You purchased from a private buyer and therefore it was your responsibility to have the car checked out before you purchased it.....private sales do not cater for warrant or guarantees!

I'm going to say this once, cease the slagging or face a ban from this place....and that goes for anyone else that wants to keep going down this road.

I assume you morons are here to back him up. I never ditched HKS cams, i was going to buy hks cams for my car read my post properly.

I wanted to take it up privately but he has already blocked me and i have no idea why. I was blocked before i made the post about him being a lier which he is.

Just so you can see what you wrote... See the bold part where you said you have, you meaning you did it already, not that you are going to.

Me, the moron, I think not.

And you didn't address anything else mentioned, you know about the ad not mentioning anything you whinged about.

And also insulting Pete, not withstanding that he is a mod, is really stupid. How about you think before you type something, because clearly that is not something you have been doing up to this point.

And just incase you are able to read above an 8th grade level, check caveat emptor:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/caveat_emptor

YES I DITCHED THE CAM'S = HKS STEP 2 272 CAMS that iwas going to buy. The car NEVER HAD HKS STEP 1 cams it cam with stock cams with ISC cam gears. I still have my HKS cam gears and will be going into my gt-r.

Yes. you are the moron.

f**k him up was out of line i can admit that, i was raging back then and i still am know. I will f**k him up legally in every way i can.

I didnt mean to offend anyone im just in pure rage atm.

So lets go through this.

He claimed the car had hks step 1cams = it had stock cams

He claimed the car had forged rods= it had stock rods

He claimed the car had rebuilt/cleaned heads= the heads were not touched.

I sold the engine for nearly half the price that i had originally agreed on, so you should be able to understand why im raging.

Edited by Tyranus

Like i said i would had preferred to this to be handled privately but RBWARE saw fit to block me. If a mod wants to clean up the thread so be it i dont want my rebuild thread ruined because of some scum bag.

I understand your pain man I bought a new Trust oil pump for my GTR build off a member on here got it built in the car and running when i had oil problems. sent new turbos back to be inspected and put restrictors in the turbo oil feeds before I realised the problem (115psi at idle and 150psi at 2000rpm). Had to pull the engine back out and took it back to the builder to get it checked cause we thought the relief valve might be jammed. Turns out it is either a knock off copy or its been fiddled with. The relief spring was too long and hit on the bung before opening fully and it also had what appears to be a stock RB25 spring. No recourse I PM'd the seller no reply. Unfortunately there's not much you can do except move on. The last thing you wanna do is waste more time and energy to get no where with this guy. It's sad that people are dishonest and it doesn't instill much faith in mankind but at the end of the day the same thing could've and I'm sure has happend on many occasions with cars imported from japan. Just lucky you didn't go ahead with the original plan and end up with an engine worth $0.

If Barricade & Sled are such great proponents of the seller; perhaps they could give him a little heads up about the unfolding situation?

I don't think the guy was going to strip the motor in the guys driveway to see if he was telling the truth; with a good rep he was taken at face value.

Quoting stuff like Caveat Emptor and insulting people's spelling is really awesome too; but here's something the previous owner has missed.

Lie someone who has access to a computer and they can badmouth you ALL THEY LIKE.

And they can do it in front of ALL your buddies.

Don't lie to people; you won't get caught out. ;)

'Nuff said.

Has anyone read a single thing that I posted?

Again I'll say it.....read the forum rules.....everything you say in here is merely heresay and therefore anything you say about the seller is Slander!

Say and do whatever you like on the internet but not in here.....if you don't like what I'm saying, feel free to complain to the owner who put the rules in place.

My job is not to protect anyone in here other than enforce the rules that are in place.

This is a final warning....anyone that choses to continue down this path is going to get a nice long holiday from this place.

EDIT: ......and this thread will be shut down as well.

Cheers mate. As a friend of mentioned earlier thank god i didnt go ahead with -5 + E85 plans or else i would had been royally f**ked. Im building my new engine from ground up and will have a piece of mind knowing that the engine is going to be bullet proof and will have this build thread as evidence for future reference.

Yes his reputation amongst SAU made me trust him more than the average joe. I also was a total GT-R nub at the time of purchase. I didnt know half the things i know now besides the basic things etc. If someone f**ks me over and has blocked me from PM'ing him i will by all means NAME & SHAME him.

Edited by Tyranus

  • 2 weeks later...

Im looking at getting a hypertune plenum for my build. Ive been told that if i get a hypertune plenum it would change the sound of my gt-r.. Apparently it would loose its iconic rb sound.. Can someone shed some light on this?

    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄  
    • From everything I’ve heard you’ll be waiting a long time for  the parts to arrive 
    • Have you looked at the workshop manual?
    • Hmm. I've gotten pretty good outcomes from talking to them about things that I've had go wrong or ideas for improvement. Have had a lot to say about the R32 FUCAs, and they have sent out some replacement parts for those, gratis, on a couple of occasions. Mind you, I have bought a couple hundreds of $ of replacement rod ends for them too!
    • I have a r34 sedan 1999 manual converted need some help with my speedometer it only reads upto 98km and then stops currently still running the auto cluster any easy fixes no speedo drive is connected yet, if someone has a video for wiring up the manual speedo sensor with the auto cluster please send through
