If anyone knows of this person, dont even bother dealing with him cos after he gets the money you wont hear from him again. I lost out through ebay on $110 which isnt much but its the principle of it. Won the item end of June, paid in July, and reported it to ebay earlier this month. Apparently he is from the Seaford area but i cant confirm. his seller id was 123_jase but its been deactivated. Just a heads up for everyone to watch out for the low life degenerate theif.

Yeah, that's the thing... call me traditional, but can't touch it and see it in person - buying over the internet is, to some degree, still risky.

However, using Paypal is good - it does give you added security as everything is done through Ebay's third-party preferred Paypal.

You can call Ebay now, so I would call them up and seek assistance.

paypal are the biggest scammers known to mankind. no thanks, i'd rather rub honey on my genitals and sit on top of an anthill than deal with paypal.

i must try that

sorry to hear you got scammed G - i agree with spunky_monkey - i too try not to buy anything online, if i cant touch it, then i dont buy it....rarely anyway...unless its a reputable online store (e.g just jap)

Every dodgy transaction I have had through paypal has been refunded almost straight away when buying from ebay...not many however.

Pay Pal stink!

I bought a used mechanical part (HKS branded) on Ebay using Pay Pal, good arrived, the PART fail to work, i logged my claim.............emails forward and back.........Seller rang me up from OVERSEA with abusive languages......Seller left abusive message on the logde centre in writing. At the end......

Pay Pal asked me to send the Part to HKS to have it certify that its malfuntion, i told them its a joke and don't worry about it.

Was this seller's feedback rating really low?

How did you pay?

Ebay can be a bit dodgy when it comes to getting your money back or making a complaint, paypal is better but its still owned by ebay anyway...

paypal are jerks, brought a $250 item, not only didn;t the seller send it, but he had a false home number and address so i couldn't get in contact with him other then email (which he never replied anyway). i claimed, paypal found it in his favour and i lost out...and 250s a lot for a full time student...

I freaken hate PayPal. I can't even sign up any more because apparently my old credit card numbers are on the system which I cannot find and they wont let me set up a new account with the same numbers. Bahhh...

nah it was like 98% or thereabouts which isn't too bad. i had to pay through internet banking.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
