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:

    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
