admins, move this to the thread already started if you like, i searched but couldn't find it.
At least these parts weren't in Australia, but many people buy from UAE online, thinking they are buying genuine.
Looks like a trade worse than drugs
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

He's probably out in the store room checking all his stock.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
No mention I could see of where these were made, just that they were found in the UAE.
Unless they were made in the UAE, stopping them there wont stop the them appearing on other markets as I am sure these Con Merchants wont just have a single outlet.

Funny i was just checking emails and saw a Austech one and thought lets go see what the Auto sections been up to.
My disappearance is nothing more than going whole hog focusing on what i need to do here, nothing more or less, Austech took up a lot of my time, time i no longer have.
Manufacturing my own line of performance brakes has taken over my last few years, the hours that most humans are sleeping i am up and working. either on a computer handling customers or running a CNC or both.
Being competitive against Chinese imports is a really funny game, Australia has lost much of its manufacturing, Chinese sellers with mates that work in brake factory's or with connections over there are still scratching their heads at how a guy can setup here, make something locally and still undercut them.
Difference is that they are all forced to sell the same thing as each other, i walk in and make what i want, they dont have what i have and i can change a line in the blink of an eye.
I have had a few nice threatening messages (and calls directly from ebay getting complaints) regarding subtitles that write "not cheap Chinese cross drilled rotors that crack"
Apparently those words stopped sales for a few big Chinese sellers and importers and made them very angry, personally i think there is nothing better than educating the public when it comes to safety.
So no, no jail, no, not rich, not on drugs, still around, just business has taken over my life.
Yes given up smokes "finally". Was a simple trick to get over it, went on Champix but this time the Dr said your copping a double prescription length....and it worked, its been over a year now......still yearn for one though....
About the thread here, the UAE has always been a cheap place to get parts through not due to some counterfeit operation, but rather due to the no import taxes on parts.
For those with Jap cars that want parts at a fraction of local prices see
The price difference for genuine parts from the UAE compared to locally is something else.....a particular engine block purchased from Australia is $8000, from Japan $5000, from UAE $2500, yes good luck counterfeiting a GTR N1 engine block, yes they are real genuine parts through Amayama.
Cheers guys, hope you have all been well.

Good to hear from you. Glad your off the nails.
Stress is just as bad though, so don't overdo it.....good luck man.
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

Good to see that you are away because of work, much better than any of the many other reasons, some no longer post. i.e. pushing up daisies. I'm pleased to see that business is doing well.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

I just replied in another thread, only just noticed this one. As I said in the other, good to see you are alive, I made some enquiries a while ago to see whether your son had backed over you or something but found out you were putting a lot of hours in to your business.
Dont forget to drop in occasionally, you cant have all work and no play. And good to hear you ditched the smokes, high stress/long hours business and smokes would have killed you otherwise.
