I'm sure that car is on one of SAU's posts. Ive seen that shot before.

Anyhow, there was this true story of how a solicitor took off overseas with his secretary and relocated elsewhere, abandoning his wife and children. He sent a letter to his wife asking her to sell his 500 series AMG (which at the time was worth megabucks), split the money and send him half.

The purchaser couldn't believe his luck at buying such cheap and perfectly good luxury item.

The husband was puzzled about the wired cheque for a measley $500, probably thinking it was just a downpayment.

The wife; well she gave her share to her own family court solicitor.

HISTORY DOESN'T REPEAT ITSELF DOES IT???

Tez

Send them an email.

I'll bet they'll tell you that the car is currently overseas because they thought they could get it rego'ed over there (the address is just where they used to live), but it turns out they can't, so to recoup some of the costs they'll sell it on the cheap but you can't inspect it since it's not in Australia......

As terry says.. that car was on these forums.. like 6 months ago.. a guy on here was interested in buying it and wanted to know who owned it as it was being stored at a car yard.. from my understanding he bought the thing and was trying to off load the wheels on here..

so yes sounds like a scam

once saw an NSX for $12000.. hit him up and he said he was in italy starting for business and needed some more cash to close a deal and make him a millionaire.. upon looking at what an nsx was really worth.. up around $60000 at the time... i found the exact same car, same pictures etc... different name and contact details. haha, hit him up and never heard back.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
