Pulse Performance (newcastle) broken into

[phatsky32r]

well i can tell ya one thing from someone whos owned an rb26 in the area for quite sometime you cant trust ANYONE

[KR.15.YS]

your car ain't safe anywhere.

least of all a workshop...

[br3tt]

Really sucks to read things like this.

Best of luck getting your gear back, or insurance for it.

[Guilt-Toy]

Don.. oh no

I feel for you mate I really hope you solve this mystery.

[Guilt-Toy]

I spoke to Don the other night and he said that he got little compensation.

He has sold the R34 and he is selling the rb26 now.

Such a shame indeed.

[KR.15.YS]

thats a bit over board isn't it?

is he going to take any legal action?

he really should..

[Guilt-Toy]

thats a bit over board isn't it?

is he going to take any legal action?

he really should..

They had no insurance. they have closed down. The guy is broke. You cant get blood from a stone.

Well Don is pretty upset about the whole ordeal. Apparently they stuffed his car as well. hacked the crap otta it and didnt even put the rb26 in properly.

He is really over it and does not even have any high performance cars anymore.

I feel sorry for him as he was one of the decent ones around town.

Its f**ked.

[br3tt]

This is so sad.

[geno8r]

Woah... well that's just a big downer isn't it...

[KR.15.YS]

oh man that sucks..

guess we wont be seein him round anymore.

wat a shame, i would have liked to see how that conversion turned out..

[phatsky32r]

its amazing how it;s turned out tho for a shop like that to be able to conduct business without insurance seems pretty unbeliveable smells FISHY in every way

[R33TOM]

they will claim bankruptcy and a few weeks later they open a new tuning shop somewhere else with a new name and start trading as before

I had a about 5k of parts sitting around at Turbotechnics for a while and NEVER had any problems.

Infact parts i left there 12 months ago are still there waiting with my name on it.

Thats the way a workshop should be anyone who goes there will know what i mean.

[ER3498GTT]

ok ok....guess I should share my perspective here

the car was beautiful...i loved it...hell I've loved all my performance cars but nothing is as special as a nissan...damn that car was a pleasure to drive!

I brought it in Oct 03....and in march 04 i got a a little money together to start playing with it...so I got bullshitted into taking it to a workshop that mad a mess of it...although she was putting out 295kw at the wheels hahaha on the dyno...at 19psi

I tried to get some compensation from the workshop that performed work on it that was by far substandard and in some cases unsafe...but i was wasting my time...

So I took it to pulse...reluctantly...but I was sold the dream..the bullshit

I should have seen the warning signs...cash strapped...putting the bite on me for more and more funds etc...everytime I asked the question..nufin but bullshit.

I start buying the 26 motor, buying parts...all top notch quality to fix the mess and end up getting a bigger mess not to mention parts stolen...

The workshop wasnt insured...cops did nothing...and I was left with a mess for a 34. The car was so bad...bring tears to your eyes to see it compared to what it was.

The cars paint was ruined...thanks to how it was stored, the motor was put in not even bolted to engine mounts, in actual fact sitting above one of them...2 dowell holding the engine to the g'box and only 2 bolts to hold it there....interior parts everywhere etc...the whole thing was a joke...a bad joke.

In the end...like most business decisions you have to decide when to cut your losses...after 2 workshops screwing it...i decided i coudlnt throw anymore money to it...it was going to cost me more to fix then let it go...so as hard as it was...i said thats it...

Now ppl might say he gave up to easy well put it in these terms...I spent almost @10k initially to mod it...then spent around another 10k buying parts for the 26 conversion plus around 6k or so for other bits...etc and all the while still paying for the car....which cost me @40k at the time to buy...

So enuf is enuf...time to let it go...my pockets arent deep enuf to keep it up forever.

I hope in the future to have another skyline...but for now I gotta work my ass off to save up the $$$ I effectively flushed down the toilet

[Swiper the Fox]

let me guess.....the first workshop was Scott's Dyno Tune.

[ER3498GTT]

Nope wasnt scotts in this instance...

but I have had experiences with them in the past and it wasnt positive.

why is it, in newcastle all we ever seem to hear and experience is bad things...i mean in all fairness you hear bad things everywhere BUT in newy it seems to be particularly bad...?

[geno8r]

I'll add to bad things about Newcastle, the company I worked for a year and a half ago let me go on redundancy & then they couldn't even pay my super due to bankruptcy.

But other than that I still love Newy to live over anywhere else I've ever been

Waiting on a quote for a big ass service from DenStoj, hopefully that’ll run smoothly.
