I emailed him for the VIN and engine number, this was the reply:

"Hello,

Thank you for your interest in my Skyline. The car is in absolutely perfect condition, no scratches, dings, dents or other imperfections. Always adult driven and garaged. Clear title. Price is 12,630 $ AUD if you buy now with shipping included. Firstly, I need to tell you that I recently moved to Greece due to work specially . Since I have no more relatives in Australia, I brought the car with me thinking that I could register it here. However, because of the big differences between the AU emissions and the Greece ones, I can't register it without spending a fortune. Here is what I suggest:we will use Global Lines Shipping (www.glob-lines-int.net) for payment and shipping which acts like an escrow service, so you pay the money in GLS account ( they hold the money until you receive the car ), I send the car over, you can inspect it, take it to a mechanic to check it out, drive it and then decide if you keep it or not. If, by any reason, you will not be satisfied with it ( even though I can assure you that it is exactly as described), you can return it at my expense for a full refund of your money, no questions asked. I think this is more than fair for the both of us. If you agree, please provide your full name and shipping address and I will get everything started immediately. Afterwards, GLS will invoice you the transaction details and payment instructions. All you will need to do is follow through with their guidelines.

Thanks"

Sounds dodgy to me

these type of ads are now all over carpoint and carsales also, they use a fraud money transfer site (escrow) where they tell you to deposit money into an account where you control the money and tell you they will send you the car for inspection.

its all bs

Did anybody hit the link on the auction to report it to Ebay?

That escrow scam has been done to death on Ebay. This link shows how somebody scammed the scammer trying to do this. Quite funny. http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/

Living in Greece now?

Last time it was Budapest

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in my Skyline. The car is in absolutely perfect condition, no scratches, dings, dents or other imperfections. Always adult driven and garaged. Clear title. Price is $26,200 AU if you buy now. Firstly, I need to tell you that I recently moved to Budapest, Hungary due to work and family. Since I have no more relatives back home, I brought the car with me thinking that I could register it here. However, because of the big differences between the AU emissions and the local ones, I can't register it. Here is what I suggest: you make the payment in an ebay managed trust fund ( they hold the money until you receive the car ), I send the car over, you can inspect it, take it to a mechanic to check it out, drive it. If, by any reason, you will not be satisfied with it ( even though I can assure you that it is exactly as described), you can return it at my expense for a full refund of your money, no questions asked. I think this is more than fair for the both of us. If you agree, please provide your full name and shipping address and I will get everything started immediately. Afterwards, ebay will invoice you the transaction details and payment instructions. All you will need to do is follow through with their guidelines.

Thanks

To which someone replied with:

Hi George,

Thankyou for your prompt reply to my enquiry.

It seems rather impractical to send the car half way round the world for an inspection. I have family members in Vienna - whom I have already contacted via instant messanger- who would be more than happy to drive to Budapest and inspect the car. If you can provide me with a phone number, an address and times when the GTR would be available to view I can pass it on. My cousin is a mechanic who builds and races BMWs and is very knowledgable about cars. This would save you a lot of time and hassle of organising shipping and insurance to Australia. Perhaps you could also forward some recent photos of the car in Budapest. I have never been there and would love to see shots of the GTR surrounded by the city. Can you confirm how many doors the vehicle has as your description on ebay says 4 but I can only count two in the photos. Certainly a 4 door GTR is extremely rare but you've already stated how unique this car is.

Thanks

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
