COD if you can.

Can't Admin block dodgy traders IP?

COD is useless as the seller could be sending you a ton of bricks in the mail while you pay for it at the post office counter.

I tried COD few years ago being the seller, was dicked around by the buyer and he never picked up, ended up being sent back to me at my expense.

Nah, there's a saying in my native tongue (Vietnamese)...

When the money gets handed over, the congee gets scooped... in other words, a fair exchange is the best method... never expose yourself... but never mind mate, it's over now... a valuable lesson learnt... thanks for sharing it too... I guess we all can share in this too...

I meant a pick up and cash exchange (person to person).

This same f**ktard almost got me on the same scam. cheap power fc, deposit and the rest cod. Obviously he is trying to amass as many 200 buck deposits as he can.

I bailed out on a hunch only. There's only 2 things that smell like fish and ones fish. The other is what this turd is. A c@#$t

Well its happened again (well sort of) this time i bought an item from a member of sau with a good trader rating 3 or 4 i think, paid for the item got it shipped hear only to discover it was rooted, the guy communicated with me at first, tried to blame it on the freight company, but got others opinions and realised it had been in an accident, now he says he wants to sort this out, cause he doesnt want it to affect his trader rating, etc, but after i tiold him it had been insected and was shagged, he doesnt answer pm etc, i have tried to contact one of the moderators with no result, now he is currently selling gear on sau, and if i go on his thread and name him up theres no way i will see my money, but then theres the thing he may rip others,this is really pissing me off i just should name him! but no $$$$ for me if i do and what are the possible ramifications for me if he says prove it etc? well i can, pics of it after it arrived, pms etc. the moderator i have contacted hasnt responded so im left in the air, but the longer i leave it the grater the chances of getting away with itwhat should i do?????......

c'mon guys some input with the current issue at hand, the guy wont respond but is still a forum user and is selling a bunch of stuff

Did you get his home number ?

http://greypages.mazzanet.id.au/

no only his mobile, ive heard people say, "look before you buy" and "do it in person" the thing with that is im in Tas and items can be very scarce, so a lot of things have to come from the mainland and you either trust people or go without

this is just an idea for the mods/admin - might be too much of an effort but it could save users lots of cash. you know how we have banners under our name such as "NSW member" etc, maybe we can have one for trusted traders which you must have to be given permission to create a thread in the for sale section.

would be difficult to put in place, and it could possibly cut 3/4 of the for sale section ads but yeah just an idea for all the users on the forum to keep everyone safe.

what i usually do is if i have never seen the users name before, i would pick up in person. unless regulars on the forum can vouch for that person, thats the only time ill do delivery.

Stop payment eh? Commbank couldn't help when I was scammed on another forum, simply got a 'you can ask for a funds reversal but this costs $25 and must be consented by the recipent'... fat lot of good that is

the reason they want the consent of the recipient is so that you can't transfer the money to someone, then have them send the goods then you try and get your money back from them, so they end up with nothing.

Unfortunately thats not a viable option - The trader rating system is an excellent tool, intended for precisely that purpose so we are all hoping Prank is able to get it working again shortly.

There have been plenty of traders with good ratings who have turned around and jipped someone at one point or another so as a buyer, moderators recommend using a degree of caution and exercising basic common sense when dealing with someone online. Satisfy yourself that the seller is legitimate, and make sure you know enough about them to put your mind at ease before handing over any money. As a rule of thumb, if you are skeptical, don't proceed. If you ask a seller for some of their particulars or contact information and they are reluctant to provide the info you request, abort on the purchase.

Moderators on this forum take a proactive role in keeping the classifieds area as safe as possible and there are a massive number of bad traders that have been caught out and banned as a result of the tireless efforts of the SAU mod team so while this work continues day in day out, we again ask every member to be careful and when it doubt, purchase elsewhere.

Heres a great piece of advice for you madaz R33.... go down to your local bank and put in a fraud complaint :ninja:

It will then go to the banks fraud department and be investigated, Defrauding someone with false details while using a banks account is a big NO NO!

It carries a nice jail term and the banks do press charges aswell.

Just go have a chat to them and even the bank company he is with, as they dont take to kindly to fraud of any type!

Cheers BOOSTA

PS. just been through this stuff with a family member getting ripped off and the bank not only found the person, but had them arrested and charged aswell. (big thanks to Suncorp bank!)

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
