Guys,

i know this may not be the right place, but gotta let this go where it may affect people.

Do not buy anything off a member by the name of SACRA

He told me i could pay half up front and half later.

he scammed me $350

This happened last week.

I finally got his real name and I have my mates in the force supplying me with his address tomorrow.

Anybody else been scammed by him let me know, ill be happy to get your money back too, when I fly to wherever he may be.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks for the heads up, sorry to hear :huh: I really hope you can get your money back somehow, maybe have a mod post this as an annoucement because another Forum member posted something about this user in the Queensland section (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=130380).

This is what stops other people from buying parts, because people lie and scam on the Internet, SAU is the best place for us (people who like Skylines) and a place where we can get good cheap parts, hope you get the problem sorted along with all the other people scammed by this user.

I think it may be a good idea for traders/buyers to "register" details before any money is transacted. I know that whenever I sell stuff of "considerable value" I am providing all my details before the buyer even asks.

totally agree with satanic on this one. I was gonna suggest members can only trade (i know i know, i aint a member yet), but satanics idea is much better....

EDIT - i meant to say i am not an official SAU member yet (i.e i havent paid my m/ship fees etc)

I tried to warn the modorators a few weeks back with a pm. There are lots of scamers who use Alice Springs as a location, there not going to get any one going to pick stuff up. So check where they recon there located.

I was looking at a RSM he had and was wary of him for this reason initialy and would only deal with him via COD with Aust Post. He was pushing for $$$ first and would not concider COD. That is when I warnd a mod about him.

Did anyone sell him anything? he did post on some for sale stuff.

if you do a search, he has posted on some stuff that was for sale - actually maybe like 1 thing. I am always skeptical when it comes to buying stuff online (specially on forums) and this is the reason why...stupid idiots who want to find an easy way of making money..... :rolleyes:

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
