some one had to have seen this come on guys any info will help, the guy who bought it off me has defaulted on payments and the car has never been signed over to him but somehow he has sold it. Trying to talk to the person who currently has it, cause in my eyes they have done nothing wrong and want to talk to them about the situation.

Cause as I understand it the car was swapped, and the guy I sold the car to is willing to rectify the problem inorder to avoid legal issues.

So any help in locating the person who currently had it is greatly appreciated

Anyone seen this car lately guys?? It is now about to go through court to have the car recovered. The reason I am chasing it is cause the guy who brought it off me has stopped making payments but has on sold the car I presume without the buyers knowledge that it wasn't theres to sell...

Mate is this car still live near you??

Yeah he was paying me directly... I know in hindsight would never of done it, but the guy played the hard done by routine and yeah I felt sorry for him.... Never ever again... Now I'm trying to locate this thing cause I don't want to do the wrong thing by the person who currently has it, cause it might be a bit of a shock if the cops rock around with a tow truck and take the car

Please guys someone must of seen this thing around, any help or info would be greatly appreciated... Have heard it has been seen around northside of Brisbane Stafford sort of area... I can provide people with the VIN number and copies of my rego papers and anything else if they don't believe I am legit

I feel like a passed a car exactly the same as this on the gold coast near where I live yesterday. Southport area.

Could be a different car but they had the same bonnet, maroon with black stripe.

I think I've seen this at stafford where i live. It was at Phantom motors getting work done when we bought the supra for my girl. He's also waved at me when we pass on maundrel tce. Also seen it on the long bridge out to redcliffe. Call Phantom motors im sure they have contact details for him if hes a customer or a mate. :)

The background story of why you want to track down this car has certainly evolved from your original post...

So let me get this straight you're trying to find the car so you can repossess it from the current owner because you still part-own it ? that's why you really posted this thread ? I'm just a bit confused why it seems as though you didn't explain the situation a little more transparently originally...

good luck though...amazing how people find it so difficult to properly conduct the purchase of a car to prevent shit like this...

Hey guys anyone seen this lately... And no I am not trying to reposess it, I want to talk to who has it now and arrange to buy it back as I haven't got the money I agreed to sell it for but have received part of it and from what friends of the person who the original deal with me was done have told me it was sold for approx $15,000 to the person who currently has it and that is what roughly has been paid off to me so far. So I want to talk to them to offer them compensation in return of the car... Cheers guys....

grammar fail... hard to understand. That post was the longest sentence I've ever seen in my life. Looked a lot like a paragraph... yet only had one full stop. Confusing. :D

So you've been given 15K, and they bought it for 15K, and you want to buy it back for more than 15K? I think that's what you were trying to say.

What happens if they don't want to sell it? Seriously, I'm not asking to be a prick. I want to know what plan B is. There's been a couple of "I'm going to ask them to sell me their car" posts lately... and I want to know if people have backup plans for it the question falls on deaf ears.

you came to your senses and kept your non turbo R33?

Are your senses drunk?

FKN LOL

I agree he does have a point here. If they are getting work done on it, chances are they don't want to sell it.

Well I am open to negotiate, I just want a chance to talk to them. This car was my pride and joy and hours upon hours of late nights went into it, and to not have it needless to say I am entirely gutted. I guess when I talk to them I will take it from there. No I don't have a plan B I just at the moment want to find out what happened to it and talk to the people who currently have it about buying it back for an agreed amount.

Please guys I would love to have it back for christmas.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
