when i put my R31 on Ebay a guy had recognised it because he did some paving at my neighbours house and asked me if i'd swap it for his cordia turbo and a couple of g's. I declided obviously but he got the shits up and i caught him out the front trying to break into it, late on the following friday night. I dont think he and his mate will be doing that ever again.

Since i last posted i have tried to call and SMS but phone is off or just rings out..... so im gathering it is dodgy!

I dont have any family around Adelaide so the next best thing is a common place..... I wasnt expecting to bring out loads of cash to a carpark, i would have assumed he just wanted to look at the car first?? seems a bit wierd, but i guess you can never be too careful with all the thefts around....

I wouldnt post the mobile number dont worry, i have no idea who this person is.... for all i know its a mate pulling a prank or its someone with a bigger baseball bat than mine!! :P

Yeah to go cold right at the end is sus as well..... becareful all that are selling!

On a better note, another guy had a look today and is really keen!

Even in the situation that you are to meet them at a certain place, and they still seem a little dodgy, then just take a mate with ya when you go to meet up. Another persons judge of character can come in handy. Also another pair of fists in the even of punch on is also beneficial.

i've been contacted at least once via sms for things i have for sale on here and they HAD to have my home address to collect them... nedless to say i didnt sell the item to them....

mebe we should be hading these phone numbers over to the police?

either way, look out guys n gals!!!

the cops will do f*k all. These people have done nothing wrong technically.

yeah but knowen car theif + his number on random skyline owners phone may be enough for a warrant? (esp if its on more than 1 phone)

whatever we can do to get these guys caught right?

Sounds dodgy to me mate.

If he was real keen , he would be prepared to meet anywhere.

When I sold my R33, I had it sitting at work with a big sign in the window and advertised it . I sold it to a person that seen it at work . This , I wouldn't do again but. ( what happened yesterday now makes me feel differently )

This ^^^ was a couple of years back though.

Talking to someone over the phone or face to face can give an idea about them Psych their voice

The other thing that I would recomend would to be rock up early. This would give you the chance to scope out the chosen location for possible dodgey mates of the purchaser . Last thing you would want would to be followed home by the purchaser or their mates

Sounds very dodgey indeed. I met up with all potential buyers at thier houses (happened to be a mutually convenient location) when I was selling my car. If they are concerned about knowing your address tell them you are happy to give it to them if they purchase the car (it's on the rego transfer anyway).

Yeah that's dodgy as all hell. I would have said that you would have given him your address after he bought the car if there were any issues with it or explained to him with all the thefts lately that skyline owners don't give out there address to people they don't know. He did sound like he was pressing a little. There is no point in loosing sleep over it though.

DODGY

when i have sold my cars in the past i have met at a place where their is a lot of ppl and only when i have loan info from them or a large deposit they can know my address and i took down their d/l number and explaned why the fuss and they understand because they dont want the car they want stolen and why would he needs t see where you live he ant buying your dam house so must be sussing to steal!

thats what i think anyway

give the guy some other address and a time (like lets say a street or 2 down from your place), then at the time ur supposed to meet, pretend that ur going for a power walk or a jog or a bike ride down that street - become the hunter instead of being hunted.

Did you ever think maybe he thinks your the dodgey one??? I mean he probably has mates in the car scene and knows that imports are being stolen all over the place...then he tries to purchase one and the owner only wants to meet up at red rooster not his home adress?? Just food for thought I guess. The other option is as posted in this thread already, just take the car to a relatives place for an hour or so to show him the car.

Ryan

Hmm maybe.... but i did offer to meet at my work and still thats not cool.....

I havent heard from him, since then i have tried calling and it just says the number is disconnected.......

It may sound dodgy on my behalf, but i explained why, but he wanted to see my house..... thats the dodgy part

BTW the car sold to another buyer anyway.... so im Skylineless.....

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
