Damn I wish I thought of that, when he originally sent the cruddy photo chop I thought the wipers looked odd and I checked my Z. They were close enough and I forgot to check to see if anything else was out of place.

yeah, i have been suspicious about alot of things that come out of "Al's" mouth. he directed me to a web page about ECU tuning and hooking your ECU directly to a computer program. well i searched around and on that particular forum they were asking him for proof of what he says. its quite ironic...

Thats 5 minutes worth of searching with nothing more that entering "Zgringo" on google.

We are dealing not only with someone who is full of BS, we are dealing with someone who SPAMS his BS.

Funniest part: In any forum that "he" posts more than a few replies in they are on him produce proof and he doesn't have any anywhere.

EDIT: For clarity

That was fun...

But what is the point of wasting time like that? He needs a new hobby besides lying...

Since this is about VH's and VK's... here's a pic of NISMO Supercharged VK for the Titan that I took late last year. Imagine this baby in a Z32. YIKES!

Imagine the size of the hole you would have to put in the hood to fit that in there.

I am going to add some stuff here just because I feel like:

I figured "Al" was full of it since day one, but he seemed to know his stuff so I didn't really care. But after a while I felt the house of BS he had built had grown large enough to knock it down on top of him.

Back in the Off Topic thread he mentioned some BS about he would be arrested if he came back to America, well then why the hell does he run Pro-Mod in America? Why isn't he in any Pro-Mod results?

He claims to be 70, born June 14th, 1935 (he has since altered his profile). He claims he flew in the Korean war because he said as long as you were 18 1/2 by the end of flight school the Air Force would let you fly. Problem: he would have been 18 1/2 December 1953, the Korean War ended July 27, 1953.

He claims he recieved a draft notice from the Rams at the same time he did the Air Force, which means he would have been drafted Pro right out of high school (he claimed he turned down the Rams offer)?

He claimed he put a VH45 with a custom supercharger set up into a 300ZX (which has been shown to be BS eariler in this thread). But what kills me is that for all his fabrication skills that he doesn't have he apparently can not figure out a simple ECU malfunction: Oh no!

Thats just off the top of my head, "he" or rather "it" doesn't warrant anything more.

Re: Vk56de

LoL PI Broke!

I thought there was something fishy with the guy... I just thought everyone liked him so I didn't say too much. I know he got called out at 300zxclub.com a few times and that is why he never posts no-more. I think that is why he was all pissy about me coming back to this forum.... as for his Z32 I thought that was very suspicious since he only had like one pic of it. Goes to show you that you can't trust anyone on the 'intarnet'.

Pfft... okay guys I'm gonna be straight with you. I don't own a Z at all and I'm actually 12 years old....

As for the whole VH in a Z32... what about that guy who posted those vids of his Z32 with TT VH45DE? I'm sure he is legit. But was that Al's buddy?

no that wasnt his buddy...Al began talking to him after he posted videos on this site. then Al began to act as if they have been friends for a while.

i would like to talk to that guy from austrailia that supposedly talked to Al over the phone. i forget his name but he has a red 89 Twin Turbo and visits here every once in a while. he was going on like a 12 month vacation so im sure he is gone...

Darn, and I was hoping that he was just a forum bot... They are getting pretty advanced now days... Same name at all forums, but rumors say that he talked to someone on the phone, you know what would be funny... If from all of the forums that he has posted on that real life people would know who he was by his username..

Since he did post on so many forums not likeley but possible...
