Subject: Re: You've received a question about your eBay item, 1993 Skyline R32 GTR GODZILLA - Twin Turbo - FAST SALE

Hello,

I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me. The car is in a perfect cosmetic and engine conditions, and meticulously maintained. No damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, the engine doesn't smoke, runs and sounds awesome, the engine has never been repaired or something like that, never been into accidents and it is as advertised. I will be shortly, as I have many inquiries : AU specs, AU plates, AU supplied, clean title and condition LIKE NEW!. It's no catch here. The price is real. I work for Shell International E&P and I begined a 2 year job assignment in Madrid,Spain so i will handle the transaction from here. I would rather sell the car than put in storage (which is still a valid option).The car is sent at a local warehouse in Sydney,NSW. The full price is AU$ 7000 with shipping cost included. The transaction will be done through eBay for our own protection. Your funds will be 100% insured by eBay and I will be sure that I will receive the payment, this way bouth of us will start the deal with good faith so we can take it to a smooth end. After the payment is cleared and confirmed by eBay i will ship you the car in no time. You will have 10 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep the car or not. Once the car arrives if you find it different then i describe it you will be refunded by eBay and you wont loose anything. If you are interested in buying it please provide me your FULL NAME and SHIPPING ADDRESS also your eBay USER ID so I can initiate the deal through eBay.

Waiting to hear from you

Regards,

Michael T.

Mmm, sounds like a scam, sounds like the seller is going to take the insurance company for a ride

Why dont you ask him to view it before sending money/bidding, also tell him that a few engine tests must be done - a mobile mechanic willdo them, just tell you the address. If the tests all come up good then you will pay cash on the spot and then he doesnt have to pay ebay

Winner

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
