@fanex you still didnt touch on the reason why you opted out

fanex:
its good in fact excellent if you own the car and all you wanna do is carter for your family's immediate needs. it isnt a wise business idea by any standard.

EndtimeBlessing:
What exactly will your partners invest on? cars? or the business equity?
what is the expected ROI? turnover?
I think you may have a good business model, but you seems to need somebody to help you package this business for the next level.

@endtimeblessing the investment is on business equity, getting cars as investment might retrench the growth of the business as there are other vices contributing to the day to day running of the business

The projected ROI is about 18-25% in 4years

edisoncash:
My brother you didn't explain this business well to the general public, how do you want people to come into this business is it by giving out there cars or invest in cash and if invest in cash what is the minimum and maximum to invest and what will be the return of the cash invested in daily, weekly or monthly, please this questions is begging for answers and please drop your phone no for people to call you

@edisoncash. Investments can be in form of funds with returns on investment over a given period.

This is also not a daily, weekly or monthly ROI schemed. It's a long term business venture with viable ROI

Hi All,

I would like to use this medium to request for interested equity investors who are looking for a viable business to invest funds.

I run an online transportation business and it has been in operation for about a year now. We started with one car and we are not on three.

The branding of the business has given it a competitive edge against uber and the only reason I am calling on partners is because I feel it is time to take the business to a whole new level and create a service that the general public can have access to and also create employment for well deserving Nigerians.

As research has cleared shown that the transportation industry is about 10-15 billion naira industry and with the continuous development of of our mega city Lagos, conventional transportation system will be facing extinction in a few years and the earlier this business is positioned to pioneer the next generation of transportation system in this country, Now is the time to make such move.

My business model is concrete and easy to understand.

We currently generate a sales revenue of over 1,000,000 Naira on 3 cars and as you know that the result of geometric in nature.. A reasonable investor joining this train would be glad they did.

I am looking at selling a stake of the business to any interested partner. I am not looking for a group of people just 1 or 2 person will be enough depending on the scale we want to take the business to.

PS: the business has a functional website and it is a brand that has gained such a feat of reputation in the travel industry.

Investors are welcomed for pitching sessions.

Thanks

Im at yemmy4real04@yahoo.com

mrsage:
I love your assessment. I'm also in the Car Hire business and I don't particularly agree with the Uber model.

I'll love to connect with you. I also have a whatsapp group for individuals involved in Car Hire and transportation business. We network and share ideas.

How can I reach you?

@fanex would you mind hinting on your reason for pulling out?? I think that would be a good point for intending prospects... This is why people prepfer LYFT to UBER in new york.

fanex:
this is a lie from the pit of hell.

UBER DOES NOT CHECK VIN. Dnt allow haters ruin your business before it even starts. i am a former partner but pulled out.

@sunglow the essence is not to over spill so you might have to decode alot of things in between my post.

You can however asked direct questions and i will be able to answer specifically.

Sunglow:
@ drumma pls could you elaborate more on what you posted,Its an eye opener.Thank you.

HAHAHAHAHAHA..... In 2014 I was asked by my friends why I still wanted to venture into transportation business when UBER was entering the market with full force... I only told them... "the Nigerian factor"

I was a bit skeptical with the reviews I read about them but then I designed and structured my business to favor all factors involved in the Nigerian business sector..... Though a small business but with great potential and immense growth my transportation business has been going on smoothly and what started with one car now has 3 cars and still growing....

I got more convinced last year when an UBER partner approached me with partnership in my business. He was going to put his 5 cars which were on UBER on me but I turned it down because I wasn't going to become a slave to someone just because they have cash to float in my face.

You want to run a business with me, we both bare the assets and liability... I didn't even know this page existed all this while....

Uber is going to fail in Nigeria as they have failed in New York and LA.

The only reason they are still here is because we Nigerians are gullible. we wait for things to happen before we see opportunity in them. The transportation industry in this country especially Lagos is a multi billion naira business that is yet to be tapped into but you need to come from the angle of service offering and not primarily money making venture to hit the mark.

I conveniently gross 1million in sales on a monthly basis and just working harder to raise that mark and minimize trip cancellations.

model your business.... offer services people want and you're in money.....

Meanwhile let me go post my own topic on investment as I need an equity investor... its time for expansion

BR

WoW I'm back again and i must say my weekend was the most blessed after my short enounter with a father figure @costee.

I can't be more grateful for your immense assistance with my car on saturday.... all mechanics on nairaland need to consult you before they work on anybody's car....

I drove the car today but i didn't car a chance to hit 160mph as promised yesterday i guess that's never possible again in Lagos but It still drive perfectly and no SES light on my dash board again.


I duff my hat to you Sir......God bless you much.

I'll still on with the plugs as discussed sir

Costee:
Yes, we found out this was a black 4WD FX35 built in October 2004 with VIN: JNRAS08W35X206385

#seek&yeshallfind
Im sure @costee will smile when he sees these... After our short conversation on the phone he called me back to hint me about my slip & vdc off lights that was comong up and directed me to use the break fluid therapy... So i called my mech and told him to put the break oil.

He called back to tell me the light is gone but still needs to watch it.

That was when i remembered i had read about that same issue on infiniti forum and the guy said they billed him $1,800 without using the break fluid therapy first.


Will be seeing you tomorrow as instructed Sir. Before the TSB rounds kick off @nissparts

Note: we are not here to spoil people business but sensitize the public & create awareness so if you think conventions is your method of approach to business why not try and do service oriented approach by giving appropriate opinions pr service as it implies and see where you'll find yourself.. The act of back appprach is coming to an extinction because of #seek&youwillfind #google


@nissparts @costee you will not die young and you will be more blessed than you bless

@osama your car will come back to life in no time

Seriously @costee I don't know the kind of prayer i can start pouring on your right now... When PEK came here he was talking about how i used derogatory language on him and put his reputation at stake.... I told his boiz they were only working for the money they wanna collect from me not because they are doing the right thing now its clearly stated here.... for him and his boyz to pick my call and get this resolved now has become an issue they wont talk to me mechanic either.... so its another case of me loosing 110k to some people's wickedness just and he will come and say nairaland is not is shop he doesn't come here everytime.... I won't say much because i deserve a response from him and if @NOBODY likes he can ban my from commenting for another 2 days.... but i won't allow these people destroy another person's car.


Na money we take buy am no be paper....

Costee:
Now let's identify the FX for this number:K6 MEC65-440 01 [C1?] 4X25
The last four characters (4X25) represent the production date of the car. In this case it is 2004, October 25.
Nissan ecm part numbers for all FX35 manufactured between August 2004 and November 2005 are as follows:
1. 23710-CL100: 2WD; and the Hitachi number is K3 MEC65-410
2. 23710-CL105: 2WD (tech package); and the Hitachi number is K4 MEC65-420
3. 23710-CL110: 4WD and; the Hitachi number is K5 MEC65-430
4. 23710-CL115: 4WD (tech package); and the Hitachi number is K6 MEC65-440

@drumma I'm sure you can place where the ecm now sitting in your FX belongs. Your guess is as good as mine regarding the extent of its compatibility with your car system. Yours is K3 MEC65-410 C1 5905 (2005, September 5).

@nissparts please they said my SLIP & VDC OFF LIGHT ARE COMING ON PLEASE WHAT CAN I DO TO THIS ?

CODE: U1000 pleaseeee

as usual my @mrnobody barred me from posting in the other section again... this country is just so full of people with biased mindset...

@costee please any response on my U1000 code?

@costee.... thanks for your candid response although i don't know what to make of the parsimonous comment as I was thinking spending 110K on a car shouldn't be regarded as not willing to spend money..... you know you're richer than me cos I have an idea how much the PH.D holder gets me im just a office boy with a small prospective business on the side.....

But you know it is you i will still run to so if you like boss kill me with dictionary na you go still take your right hand help me....

Back to the bone of contention.... What I basically do is relay what information i gather from my mechanic on one side and PEK's people on the other side.

I remember pasting the part number of the ECM installed the following but you may have skipped it so here it is again:

EMC: K6 MEC65-440 01 4X25

That's what they presently installed and you asked about the programming of the key to which i also responded that i don't have any spare and ask if there might be any issue in the future.

II: about the injector nozzles, like i said when they fixed the ecm and the car wasn't working well it was PEK and his BOYS that dogmatically said it was the injector nozzles that were bad because they werent spraying.... so they billed me another 15k and they had that fixed on saturday morning between 8:017 & 9:52 am as soon as they finished that they started the car and it still wasn't working fine then PEK's guy again said its not longer the nozzles that the VALVE was bad and that my mechanic should go and work on that.... that was what led to the 3hr argument that ensued until my mechanic detected that it was the cables they didn't position well. and they got that right and the car started fine....

now scanning the system that day the car came up with the :U1000 CODE and it was the same code my mechanic said he got yesterday.

lastly my mechanic said he hasn't gotten new plugs so i cannot provide the inscriptions yet....

Please biko @costee help your Son....

Thanks in anticipation

Costee:
Hey, what's your game? We were never privy to the nature of the transactions in the first place.

Costee:
Sorry to observe, but you could be very difficult to advise; also somewhat parsimonious with relevant information. That aside for now.
Three things: (i) what was the part number of the ecm installed? (ii) initially it was the injector nozzles, now plugs. Ok, could you confirm the number inscriptions on the new plugs? (iii) "My mechanic scanned it again and it was as a result of the ECM." Unhelpful statement. What codes were pulled to come to that conclusion?

So it turns out that the ECM is still giving the car issues after their so called mechanic said we need to change the plugs as that is what is making the car not give us full result.... all plugs changed to new and the car keeps tripping off when on motion....

My mechanic scanned it again and it was as a result of the ECM..... OGA PEK I HAVE PAID YOU 105,000 please this is a customer service issue now .....what can you do for us ooooo

So I'm back again and now to give a full breakdown of how my car came back to life as a result of the team work from my mechanic and pek's team.... and unlike what he wrote earlier about defamation or no defamation.... I still stand my ground on what i said as everything came to play when i was there on saturday.....


Fast forward to friday, the ECM they brought luckily started the car but the car was not functioning at its normal pace.... but they insisted we pay for the ECM because their job was done after much argument ensued between pek's boys and my mechanic they resolved to collect half of the said payment and they said it was the ignition throttle that was faulty and wasn't making the car work well.... so we agreed when they fixed that and the car works perfectly, they will get their balance. So another of their boss called me and said he doesn't trust my mechanic that he will have his boys work on the injecto nozzle at an extra cost of 15,000 which i decided no to argue but consented to pay just because i want the car to work..... finally they changed the nozzle and started the car but it was still the same.... and after much trial and errors pek's boy said it wasn't the nozzle again that its discharging well and the current is perfect but that the valve is damaged hence they have to open the engine to fix the valve. This was the start of another 4hrs argument between the guy and my mechanic and even my girl friend's mum had to come out to contribute her own quota after all the back and forth my mechanic said he wasn't going to pay them anything until he fixed the valve they said wasn't working.... this was when their bosses became agitated and were giving me all manners of david & goliath stories of how they've finished their job and I should pay..... meanwhile my mechanic was trying to give scenarios of how it might not be the valve but they took him for a fool like he didn't know what he was saying.... I tried putting a call through to pek at that point but he wasn't picking.... called Adeiza and his was turned off so we were left to decide what to do then.....


I don't know what got into my mechanic's spirit at that point that made him call his own rewire and the guy now told him they should check all the coil cables to ensure they all positioned accurately... then my mechanic told pek's guy and he went to check and he realized he didn't fix the cables appropriately.... now once that was done the car fired up nicely and they were shocked that the same idiot they ridiculed was the one who saved their asses with all their trial and error.....


The part that got me vexed was when I now got a message that their boss said they should tell me he was sorry for the arguments that ensued.....


I am not mad or upset but I just wish nigerians will have a bit patience with customer service delivery because like I told the guy on saturday, they are just working for the money they want to get not because they wanted to solve a challenge and secondly under estimating someone because you feel they are not as educated as you is quite appalling and we nigerians have to eradicate that mentality.... these are craftmen who specialize in solving people challenges and no idea is too little to overlook... but im glad as always my mechanic was able to rescue the so called educated technicians...

Thank you for your time & PEK I hope you know this is not in anyway trying to defame you......

I appreciate your help!



.....There's life after money finishes!!!

Ask you why ke... The reason is they have lived their crazy lives doing trial and error. Will definitely give it to nissparts over the weekend to work on that... I just wish he can have one of his staff go to people to pick their cars during the week so they can work on it


But costee boss how many people for know know you're a doctor?? I feel like blowing your trumpet

Costee:
@drumma take the TSB to Nissparts. He'll understand. Our dear technicians have no patience for technical documents. Don't ask me why.

Anybody reading this now will think you were there with them in GBAGADA... LOL if you really want full details i will damage the reputation of your work because your boys arriving at someone residence at 5pm to fix a car is totally unethical but i will save you the stress and allow people enjoy your story for what it is......

Again I say God bless Costee & Nissparts.......

and also @ade the only reasonable person who was lucky to be at the location of the vehicle.... God bless you too

pek:
Go through my profile, nobody has even accused me of anything when it comes to brainbox. I always leave my customers satisfied! You are the first. Do you know the meaning of what you just wrote? That's defamation of character. Your mechanic was there ALL the time and you were in constant touch with him. Did he say the car didn't start? So why will you use such words as claim and desperation? If I was desperate for anything, it was to see your car work.
For those of you following drumma's FX issue, here is the update.

I got interested in his issue when he mentioned he has tested several ECU and the car didn't start. I specifically told him that it is only the right one that will work. He contacted me and we agreed on me getting the brainbox from me. I sent someone to his place with the Right brainbox after it has been reprogrammed. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I told him we have to go with the scanner to detect the fault. Today is the fourth day and it is either we can't get the key or his mechanic won't be around. We even had to go with other brainbox to test. Today, we were able to trace the fault and rectify. The car started fine. His mechanic was surprised. We noticed the car wasn't performing optimally. It was discovered two nozzle were bad. Current was entering but it was not spraying. We interchanged the nozzle and got the same result. The mechanic was there all the time, relaying info to drumma. How is it brainbox?
