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

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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
