Don't know if this will help.

Not really online auction fraud but maybe the police data base already has some hits to this guy's bank account.

Doesn't matter if it's $60 or $6000.

It's theft and most of us have been ripped by a scammer at some time.

This is a criminal offense, it is called 'obtaining money by deception' and is fraud.

Accordingly you need to report it to the Police who will contact an Admin of this site to obtain further details.

If an Admin of this site gives you his details, they then breach the Privacy Act and are open to a civil claim as well as prosecution.

Errr, hope that did not sound too much like a lawyer.... :P

i just realised that the guy bought injectors off a guy named "888_2008"... HTF didnt he see a scam comming.. would have been better off buying from someone named "scammer"

Some people trust others because they have high moral and ethical standards; dosent mean they are stupid, far from it.

We learn from our mistakes; this one was a cheap mistake and im sure it wont cause too much loss of sleep.

speaking of scammers and lessons learnt

it was back in 2001 / 2002

i was living in surfers and reading the local gold coast newspaper (bulletin)

enjoying my coffee and some all bran with some ice magic

when i spied a small page 2 story .........

Basicly it goes like this in bullet point format

*young fella is looking to buy some weed

*some local junkie agrees to get him some weed

*Young noob gives the junkie $25.00 aud

*Junkie says he will be back in 10 mins

*hour or so passes young fella realises hes been had

Now here is the kicker!

HE GOES TO THE CAVIL AVE POLICE BEAT AND SAYS ~ HI I GAVE A PERSON IN THE MALL 25 DOLLARS TO BUY SOME MARYWANA AND HE HAS NOT COME BACK?!

the policeman commenting on the article advised that in his 10 years carrer he has never seen anyone do anything like this?

I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD I SPAT ALL BRAN EVERYWERE!

oh man i cut the article out but have now lost it

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
