All ash is saying is to be careful. If people are contributors to SAU and are part of the official state club you can trust that they aren't going to stuff you over. I would have no problem EFT'ing money to them. But giving money to someone with a small amount of posts that you dont know will probably end up with them dodging you.

As long as you learnt your lesson now and hopefully it wont happen again.

so u go and meet everyone before you buy stuff off then then???

uve never bought sumthing off sumone u dont know huh????

also alot of people on here dont have trader rating coz people are lazy and dont leave feed back so that is no way to tell if sumone is genuine or not

99% of people on here are genuine honest people so its kinda hard to spot that 1% of shit people

ive learnt my lesson now to always use registered post and for those who said i was stingy on postage, i was told a price for the goods and i paid up, nothing was mentioned about postage details because everyone i have ever known has sent goods via registered post so assumed that that was the way it was being done

Using registered post still wont stop someone ripping you off and doing a runner with your cash. :)

I've purchased many many things over the net from people i don't know.

However, i use COD or other safe methods if i am a little suspect of the user due to low post count, not a lot of activity in the community and so on.

Get them to send me a copy of their drivers license etc etc. Such simple and basic things can be done to protect ones self.

Even asking someone interstate to go and pickup and post down to you. Might cost you an extra $30-$40 for someones time (if they are willing), but it can be worth it.

End of the day - Its buyer beware.

The amount of PM's i get about people being ripped off...

Only to find they EFT'd money to some ones account and thought that goods would just arrive is amazing.

People are not honest. People will take advantage of others when the chance presents. That's just how it is.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
