gday guys

got screwed over on ebay

have been trying to research VCAT's jurisdiction etc

seems to be a pretty wide scope "VCAT deals with disputes about purchase and supply of goods" etc etc

anyway basically paid the guy the 800, never got anything from him. i have his full name, phone number and address.

anyway just wanna know if you guys know if vcat will not deal with an ebay item etc.

i would ring them, but myself being from a tribunal in sydney, i hate ringing up govt departments, because i NEVER get a straight answer!!

cheers, mark

but im not wanting someone to pop around for me

i am stupid enough to want to do this properly for the time being

anyway will send him a letter

then if no response, a letter with application to vcat attached

then if nothing lodge with vcat

then if nothing, ash you can go around and flick the grease from your hairslick at him :)

Doesn't ebay have a buyer protection thing up to $1000?

It's only under certain circumstances.. the more general one is $400 cover with a $25 charge

Whats Vcat got to do with it? wouldn't it just be a fraud complaint to the police and/or your bank?

VCAT provides an easy way to deal with disputes between parties before you step up and include authorities. And banks may not be able to settle a dispute depending how you paid (if you used credit card then you could file a chargeback request but if you used something like direct debit yourself it's a bit harder to do so).

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
