    Build Never Used Rb26 Head

    Shit mate :(

    Guy must be hard up for money. Sad that people push their problems onto other people.

    I've had mostly good experiences on the forums, but I think I have been lucky. It's the 1 in 50 bad transactions that stick out the most. Spending this much on gear I'd wanna fly there first too, but understand you're overseas in which case it's a risk you take :(

    Hope you get it sorted. Was the other gear all there and legit?

    Yeah, the rest of the gear was there. The shims were buggered though... tolerances were tight enough that on some valves I couldn't even get my thinnest feeler gauge in there. If I hadn't checked, I would've snapped the cams on first startup. 

    Hopefully he ends up reaching out to me. If he needs time that's fine... it's just hard when somebody disappears on you and leaves you footing the bill.

    I've bought probably a hundred items on web forums. Numerous cars, motors, bodywork, wheels, all manner of parts... you name it. And most of it internationally, given the nature of the cars I focus on. This is the first one that's bit me. Ah well. Hopefully I won't need to reach out to his bank. :/

    I ended up buying and receiving this head from Neville. I've attempted to leave feedback, but something's gone wrong with the feedback system. I thought I'd put a post in here to give people a heads-up.

    I received the built head in a few Corona boxes with the cams torqued down and valves extended [and unprotected]. Upon further inspection, I found that the incorrect cams were included in the head, and the clearances were dangerously out. Neville was initially responsive, stating that he would cover the costs of having the proper cams purchased and installed. After I'd had the work done, Neville stopped replying to my emails, sticking me with a $1200 bill. I've dropped him about a dozen emails, PMs, and a payment request. It's a shame; this is the first time I've ever been hosed by a forum purchase. Unfortunately recourse is difficult for me being overseas.

    So tread lightly with this one in the future.

    Unable to leave seller feedback

    in Site discussion - including Ideas/Feedback & Bugs

    Hey folks,

    I'm attempting to leave negative feedback on a seller's profile, but the feature doesn't appear to be functioning at this time. When I fill out the form and submit, it tells me that the "Topic" field is required, even though I have put a link to the thread in there.

     

    I've tried a full link, partial link, thread title, and thread number. I've tried it in a few different browsers as well. Any thoughts?

     

    This bloke's left me with a $1200 bill and won't reply to emails, I desperately want to leave feedback to warn others that he can't be trusted. Thanks!

    Hey folks,

    I'm looking for a complete AC setup for an R34 GT-R. I'm turning a former track car into a street car and desperately need some AC to help save myself from the summer heat. If anybody has taken the full AC setup out of their R34... I'll take it!

    Wtb: Tomei Advance Spec Or Similar Built Rb

    in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)

    Hey folks,

    I'm in the market for a built motor, new or reasonably used. I had a line on a Tomei Advance Spec, but it fell through unfortunately. I'll be reaching out to some builders in the near future, but I figure it's worth throwing a feeler out there in case anyone is considering parting with their motor. It'll be going into an R34, but I can easily migrate my 34 sensors and odds/ends to employ a 32/33 motor.

    Ideal specs would echo the Tomei Advance Spec within reason. Aiming for the 650ps range - so a midrange build on an N1 block for the street/track.

    Planned turbos are 2530s for now, migrating to Full Race's EFR twins package when they're exhausted.

    Thanks all.
