Anyways im not instigating any violence. My reason for starting this thread was to hopefully prevent anyone else from losing money and waiting weeks for an item that just doesnt make it to your door step.

Hahahaha some funny comments up there.

I lost $27.50 including postage in total. Its not much but i really didnt want to screw my boost gauge into the a piller. After being ripped off i ended up doing just that which is the most annoying part about it all.

Anyways thanks for the support guys, and even though im not getting my money back or the item, i feel better that ive done what i can by letting others know it could happen to them.

Hes the first person to rip me off and before him i was never worried. Now i try to only buy items that i can pick up because i dont have paypal.

Thanks again

Corey.

sign up for a pay pal account, its free and well worth it as a buyer, you can either deposit money into it or hook it straight up to your credit card.

i sold something (cant remember what it was) to a guy in perth, it was not there after 3 or 4 days (funny that, melbourne to perth is not exactly over night) and he lodged a dispute, paypal automatically took ther amount out of my paypal account and put it into escrow till the matter was sorted, of course it arrived a couple of days later.

what you should do is order the part again and then wait a couple of weeks after you have received it and lodge a dispute through paypal saying you never got it.

social engineer your way into his hosting, and whoever hosts the box

then get into his network and systems and away you go

I think you're missing a smiley to go with this post, as obviously you are kidding and not suggesting illegal activity.

Also, guys, from the Guildlines

"Defamatory remarks made towards businesses or individuals will not be tolerated on this website - We understand that if you have had a bad experience with a business you want to warn other people of said experience. Unfortunately, the same publicly expressed opinion could be viewed as libelous and/or constitute an attempt to deter business from any individual or business.

So help Prank out and post a "if you're intending to do business with this guy, PM me first" sort of thing instead.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
