i sent him a message via ebay.

this is what came back...

Hi there,

The Nissan is still for sale. This is a 1997 perfect condition Skyline HR33 GTR V-Spec model with 69.000 kms on it.

This will might sound a little odd but the car will be shipped from Amsterdam, Holland. I moved here to stay with my family and I took the car with me, but then I realized that I made a mistake. I can't use the car here. This is the reason why I sell the car so cheap too... for a higher price you can get one from Australia as well.

As you know the price I want for Nissan is AU $10,000. I can manage the shipping and you will receive the car in no more then 5 working days, at your shipping address, at your DOOR. I will send the car having written on it 'GIFT' so you won't have to pay any additional taxes. You have to know that the Nissan is still registered in Australia and for this you will not pay any taxes/duties when you will receive it. Once with the car you will receive all the car papers too.

I would like to make this deal using a third party, Yahoo! Finance ( they work with eBay ). It is a large purchase and I want a smooth transaction. In order to start the shipping process I must request a deposit of AU $2,000 to be sent to Yahoo! Finance and as soon as they will contact me confirming that the deposit has been made I will start the delivery process. In order to be able to contact Yahoo! Finance and open a transaction record I will be needing your details ( full name and the full shipping address where you want the car to be sent ).

If you agree with my terms please e-mail me back ASAP and let me know your details so I can speed up this transaction and get Yahoo! Finance to contact you. I look forward to hear from you, Nick.

now i know the car is in perth,i saw it recently (im looking into buying a midnight purple 33 gtr myself, so this was definately looked into..)

what should i reply with?

i just want to see him write gift on the car.

this is an old scam guys. people have been doing it for ages. he just wants you to send him $2K. then that's it. It's a waste of your time even emailing him. I honestly have no idea why you bothered?

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
