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.....

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
