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.

stop buying more useless items from ebay glenn.... :P

get stuffed jerkface, this is the item YOU told ME to buy! so technically, you owe me $110 calvin!

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
