http://www.carolinanissans.com/forums/inde...c=14441&hl=

the "rebuilt motor" whitch through talk on the tread he says the bottom end is a good non rebuilt bottom but the head was worked over but again its crap to now let me tell you what i have found so far he said the motor was asembled with the exeption of the pil pan and front cover well that was bull the valvecover was loose so i took it of and the "new valvecover gasket" was dry rotted and had paint on it so i looked a little deeper and the cam caps were loose and the cam gear bolts were loose so took them loose and the "New timing set" was old the head bolts were finger tight exept fot two of them the headgasket was used(blown) the head and the deck of the block was sprayed with what looked like coper gasket sealer but the head gasket had non on it the head was all kind of scratched up and so i had it decked it tured out it was warped to heck and back it to three passes on the mill to straiten it i have know bought a new gasket set and have installed new valvestem seals(another old crap part that was said to be new) i am about to assymble the motor and i now wonder if the bottom end is even good i guess ill now soon if it is and ill post back then if any one wants to see this stuff let me know i can even show the pm's sent back and forth with him

in the end i will never trust this Rtard again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/068_censored.gif)

Dang man this sucks, i hate when this stuff happens to people. Just remember to be mature about it. Name calling and "e-thuggin" isnt going to do shit. Im also going to pretend that the reason half of the stuff you just typed was completly spelled wrong and didnt make sense was because you were so upset and mad about the situation. Good luck getting everything worked out. I think shiftndrift1990 has a little explaining to do.

Indeed, now that you got the cool down phase going breathe and be a man about it. You know you got dealt a lemon but make the best out of it and work it out. At least this bitch didn't blow on you when you were driving... Not giving him any reason to be lazy on this but im sure there is a good story behind this long absense of explination and help. Keep us posted and above all no more trashing on here guy, be a professional! GL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/emthup.gif)

i was being calm about it and a gave him close to a month to make it right before i posted this he keeps saying he is going to but then doesnt he new it was a crap motor and represented it as good"rebuilt" and yea it may not have blown while driving it but i have now had to put a lot of time and money into this motor to get it right and i still wont know if the bottom end is good till i drop it in and crank it. if i had wanted to do all this i would have rebuilt one of the bad ka's we have around the shop
he knew it was bad and misrepresented it


i am not bashing him bashing would be talking crap that is unfounded but this is what has happend and all i want is to make sure no one else gets screwed by him

[R-San-Ni]

Best of luck man. Thanks about being mature about the matter.

CN Mart Comment Box subforum was a great idea. I'm glad its here, for this very reason.

[tchenku_rms13]

Honestly, I would pull that whole motor out and redo the bottom end. I would assume it's in the same shape as the rest of the engine. I mean, what if your rod caps or main girdle were just "finger tight" also? I'm guessing that thing's got OE rod/main bearings from when it rolled off the assembly line.

Take the time to do it right, right now, instead of waiting for the engine to fall apart after you've nicely re-assembled everything.

And please use some periods in your typing. It's confusing to decode, especially mixed with your spelling.

the block was just a known good stock block, I believe my friend thomas bought it from josh back before he left for va.

Isnt this HowLow?'s brother? These dudes need a baseball bat to the nuts.

Yes, think that's why its not really a shock to most of us.

[DeathandMajesty]

Then why arent they banned so new people dont get fucked over?

As much shit as both of them have caused I am really surprised no one has fucked them up yet, one day they will rip off the wrong person and end up in a ditch.

Alec has been IP banned mulitple times, he keeps coming back with new IPs and new names (and then denying who he is, etc), its best to just try to warn everyone now of who he is rather than not knowing if a new screenname is him. He also has people who take up for him and want him around. Its taking the known evil over the unknown at this point.

[shiftndrift1990]

Alright first off Guido, I am not Alec Bradford. My name is Michael Pappas, Alec lives with me and my step mother adopted him thats why he is my "brother". He has been banned from this site many times i know. I bought my first s13 from Alec back in 06 before i even knew of his situation. Well he had told me he was going to help me wire the car up before he was done and everyone was showing me the nico and zilvia shit that was all over the net so my parents ran a police report well everyone thought i was fucked out of my car. He showed up finally and fixed my car, he stayed for three nights straight in fact he ended up sleeping in my garage for a couple hours and then waking up and continuing what he promised and my car did indeed get finished.

The reason that people on this website vouch for him is because they actually know him and his situation, sometimes you cant just go by what forums tell you. I dont know much about the people in the past but i do know why all that nico shit happen.

Guido- I bought this motor from bradb's good friend, who told me all about what was done to the motor. He said that i would need to put the timing cover back together and get shims for the head. I took the head off and brought it to carquest. Had the shims placed in and started putting it back together. I ended up in the end giving Alec this motor and taking the one he pulled out of his hatch. Since he was banned from the site at the time I let him post the motor for sale under my name thats why you believe im him. We had no idea that the motor was "bad" as you say, the guy told me all i needed to do was put the shims on and put it back together. So nobody tried to screw you over it was a misunderstanding. And Brad will vouch for it. Now you and alec can work something out for sure, but you cant just jump all over the place calling people out for something they didnt know. Try to be mature about the situation.

If i knew Alec was scamming in my house i would throw him out immediately, i promise you that.
I could care less if you believe me or not, i have nothing to lie about.

For those of you who know Alec, you can say he is a good person hes just had a bad past. Picture how hard it would be to get your name back when your posted as a scammer all over the s13 community. There are many times he wishes he could just wake up and relive his life but he cant.

Death&Majesty and Biggie- I am not a scammer if you think that. Ask anyone that has boughten something on here from me. I dont do much selling anyways. I always do my best to help anyone in the nissan community, hell ive even done 5 speed swaps for free just so I can help people out and gain respect. If i have never sold you a faulty or wrong part then id rather not here about getting thrown in a ditch or whatever.



Thanks Guys.

[DeathandMajesty]

You are the company you keep. Guido should have got his money back no questions asked.

[Farzam]

Hey Mike give me a call at x919x673-3151

I have an important question, this is regarding YOU not your brother.

[Patmans13]

Isnt this HowLow?'s brother? These dudes need a baseball bat to the nuts.

Yes, think that's why its not really a shock to most of us.

not in the least shocked

You are the company you keep. Guido should have got his money back no questions asked.

guilty by association... both kids are Rtards, i know from personal experience, ive never posted about anything tho cause its like beating a dead horse... just hope you know who your talkin to on here and warn everyone if they spark interest in something he is selling

[nassin31SPR]

You can always make right on past wrong doings but there comes a point when some things are just unforgivable. Your an adult so do what you have to do. Nobody on this forum can help you. But if you feel the need find all of alec's different threads and add your dealings with them. I say them because he is his brother and I will always take up for my brother so you need to do the same for yours. Either try and fix it or except it. I only have one thing to say and that's the customer is always right. If you want to ever be any thing but alecs burned brother then you need to give him his money back because he is obviously not satisfied with the product you hustled him with. Ill be the first to say you deserve to be banned if you don't.

[R-San-Ni]

He is scamming in your house. He sold me a brake pedal, not a clutch pedal, like he promised. Not to mention that it didnt have the sensors on it, so even if I could use the pedal for the 5sp swap, there are no brake sensors on it.

If you're so serious about kicking him out if he's scamming while at your house, then either send me a new clutch pedal to rectify the situation or kick him the hell out.

You'll probably do neither because both you and him lie through your teeth.

[Guido]

first off the head was wrped, probly because four of the head bolts where torqued and the others where finger tight, this will cause an aluminum head to warp. second the engin was mis represented by "who ever posted it". so it was sold under false pretense, and i do beleive it was done on perpose.



if any one wants to see what the head looked like when i got the motor email me and ill send u pics of it and the top of the motor

also the bottom end doesnt look like it was ever disassebled but now that i dont need the motor right away i am going to go through the bottom end and rebuild it. whitch remindes me, any one have any soch pistons for sale

[vVQ]

wow since no one is supprised, and a person isn't wanting to take resposibility and save face I say ban him! I seen the head, heck I picked it up after having it milled, not resurfaced. The guy that milled it said he had to make 2 or 3 passes ON A MILLING MACHINE. This guy needs the boot wheather it was his fault or not beacuse it was done under his name therefore he is responsible.

[R-San-Ni]

The point of keeping him around is to keep track of him. He's been banned mulitple times, this way, we know his screen name, so a watchful eye can monitor his actions. If he keeps getting banned, he'll just find another name and keep on scamming people. That's why the CN Mart Comment Box is here, to know who to keep away from, and who is an honest seller.

[HowLow?]

Ok, I was the owner of the motor. You talked to me. You didnt talk to my brother, so therefore he has nothing to do with this crap other then he listed it for sale. I traded my older built motor forto my brother for it. The motor had been untouched since we bought it from Thomas. I listed it exactly the way I was told when Mike picked it up. I was there. Mike was there.

Question in point, I had the head checked and shimmed from a MACHINEST, at Carquest. The head was not warped and the cams were straight. My machinest isnt a whole in the wall run of the mill guy. He wouldnt just tell me it was ok and it not be. I know this because I have dealt with him on more then one occasion.

So I dont know where you are getting that it was warped. Furthermore, you had the opportunity to completely check out the motor while you were here picking it up. You didnt. TO THE ABSOLUTE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, the motor was said to be fine. Other then taking the head to the machinest, we didnt touch anything since we picked it up.

So if you have anything more to add as far as comments, feel free to "comment" my thread. I wont mind. I dont own a 240sx anymore. Mainly to avoid this type of mullarky. Its gotten old and trying to change my name is just getting rediculous because even when you completely describe something, someone always has something to bitch about, so I sold everything I own for a S13 or any S Chassis and moved on. As you can tell I dont ever come on this board anymore.

So, Guido, if you have anything to add, my username incase you cant read, is HOWLOW?. Comment that name. Mike has and had nothing to do with this transaction.

Or, call me if you feel as though you need too. You have my number. I dont have yours as I had to reset my phone.

But thats all, I sold it to you as what was sold to me and me nor him knew any problems exsisted.

Thanks and good day to CN!

[Patmans13]

I had the head checked and shimmed from a MACHINEST, at Carquest.

okay well tell me this... HOW DO YOU SHIM A HEAD? i just don't see that as being possible, correct me if I'm wrong (Ive only been around cars for 19 years, working on them for 10ish) but you cant shim a head, thats just ludicrous... you can shim valves, lifters, rocker arms, etc etc, but you just cant shim a head... this whole "story" of yours just seems fishy

[HowLow?]

listen pats, i dont care if it seems fishy to you. your not involved in the transaction. yeah the head was shimmed, i used shims to lift the head off the block. USE YOUR HEAD. the vavles were shimmed. sorry i forgot one word.

[Smiz]

If i knew Alec was scamming in my house i would throw him out immediately, i promise you that.

Thanks Guys.

He has scammed multiple people on this site, they are telling you about it, and you are turning your cheek.

Did he tell you how he knowingly sent me a s13 driveshaft when I was obviously requesting a s14 one?

How about after I paid him, he shipped it to the wrong address, they returned it to him.

He kept my money and decided to keep the D shaft for 2-3 weeks before I finally found out where it was, called him out on it.

He said he would pay me my money if I gave him my paypal and that I could keep the shaft because he didnt want to pay to ship it back to him.

Then weeks later tells me he doesnt have paypal (thats why I guess he is using your account) and that he will ship me a Money Order, I give him my address, then he hasnt said a thing since, nor have I received a money order.

So, whats the hold up on kicking him out?

Heres the deal, either I get my money, or I file with paypal and my credit card against YOU for letting him use YOUR account, either way is fine with me.

I have plenty of money, $80 bucks doesnt mean shit to me, but bringing down a scammer and a liar will be fun.

Also, I will be back in the Carolina's on April 12, so if its not settle by then, I will come take $80 dollars worth of shit and leave the driveshaft.

Honestly, how can you and him keep making excuses, its so much bullshit, nobody is capable of fucking up this much!

How about all the PM's I send him and never get anything back, whats the bullshit excuse for that one?

[Guido]

listen pats, i dont care if it seems fishy to you. your not involved in the transaction. yeah the head was shimmed, i used shims to lift the head off the block. USE YOUR HEAD. the vavles were shimmed. sorry i forgot one word.

the head was warped if it wasnt when it left "your machinest" then you warped (as i said earlier) when you only torqued 4 head bolts and left the others finger tight. this is a aluminum head ti will warp and it will easy.

my machinest is not a whole in the wall either(btw he happens to be at carquest too) and he as been doing this stuff for 25 or more years. it was warped, and i dont care if you "didnt do abything with the motor since you got it" you misrepresented it and you sold it to me not "the guy you got it from"

and as many times as i have called and texted you you have my number. you always say your going to make it right and that your going to call me back and never do.


POINT BLANK YOUR A LIAR AND NONE OF US CARE IF YOU DIDNT DO THIS TO THE MOTOR OR NOT U SOLD IT AND your RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT!!!!!
