He has had my parts for approx 5 months now! i know his dad was sick and he was having issues with my parts coming out right but this is to much. He isn't responding to emails or his own thread. i know that JNM240 is also waiting on parts from him. Does anybody have Julian's phone number or live near him, i need someone to reach to him and find out whats going on. Please i need to put my motor back in and get my brakes back on.

He seems like a good guy. Can't really see him ditching out on people. Especially not people on NICO.

I wouldn't answer emails or calls either if my dad was really sick.

There is a limit to where you can complain about stuff, and how much professional contact you can keep when your emotions are all fuxered up from family...

Take it easy.

I seriously can't see him purposely blowing off his customers on NICO, since I bet we give him quite a bit of business.

actually that is why im at the 5 month mark, when i heard about his dad i didn't bother him. then he emailed me that he was doing better and he would get right to my parts. that was like a month and a half ago,now he won't respond to emails. Trust me i am being calm considering right now im out a valve cover, timing chain cover and a pair of q45 front caliper plus the money i sent him.

last email i received:Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 4:38:27 PM

Hey Jason wanted to let you know Im feeling a lot better, pretty much 100% so Tuesday im gonna get cracking on your parts. Im gonna try and spend all day on it. Like I said yours is the only one left so I'll take extra time and triple check everything.

So you haven't heard from him in over a month? Hmmm....

Seems odd that he would send you that and then not follow up or email or anything.

There is no excuse for a 5 month lead time, unless he was kidnapped or drafted into WW2.

i don't know who greg is but it's the "if your so worried" part, like its no big deal. if i could afford to replace the parts i wouldnt care, but right now i really can't. im just a little high strung about this whole thing.

Thats true to a point... But when you have a vial part of someones engine for almost half a year... Well at some point you can make time durring the day to tell them life is too hectic and send parts back.

My friend owns a great powder coating company that you may want to try once you get this sorted out.

Oh crap, I'm actually really near the guy.

Maybe if you say sorry I might go up and find out what happened on Wednesday when I go up to Ft. Lauderdale? Hmm...?

Why should anyone apologize?

Either do it (because you want to be part of the solution) or don't.

Situation does not warrant additional drama.

I wasn't being serious about an apology, come on...

I'm gonna go anyway, just because I'd like to see his setup and have a job interview up around the area anyway. I wonder how a guy in a apartment can powdercoat stuff, you know?

Our powdercoat rig is an old oven. If he has a balcony, he's set.

My last apartment wouldn't have allowed that. Hell, they used to dictate what kind of furniture you could put out there. I only imagine it would be more of a problem here in a major hurricane area...

I think he has a shop that he does the work at. I'm pretty sure he sand blasts everything first, and I'm sure he doesn't have a sand blasting booth in his apartment.

i emailed him a couple of days ago about doing my rear calipers for me. we had been in contact about it back in march, but things came up and i couldn't get them done back then. i'm ready now and it appears he's mia.

i would appreciate it Dattebayo if you could try and see whats going on. It would seem my only other recourse would be to go myself.
