Hey guys,

Bought r34 Headlights off this guy. Have not recieved after a month. Does not answer his phone or reply his pm's.

Warning to other ppl on this forum.

He usually looks for ppl who post in the WTB section.

I was a bit suspicious of him, so i only bought one side for 350 and it never turned up.

its always the people who drive crappy cars who stick their mouth in to crudely insult someone whos been unfortunate.

definitely only buy from members who have a high post count, over 200 preferable or COD.

Yawn - your getting boring now you know?

wat sort of protection are you talking about here nismoid?

Don't EFT money to someone you don't know.

Simple as that. Use COD, escrow service or someone in that state that's a trusted forum member to go pick it up for a slab or something.

Plenty of other options

You wouldn't give some random on the street $500 on the 'promise' they will come back with whatever they are selling.

So why do it over the internet? It just doesn't register with me at all

I see complaints pop into my PM box weekly, and 99 out of 100, the buyer didn't protect themselves one iota...

All they do is EFT'd money and relied one someone's good will over the internet :)

nobody likes to see a bloke 'scammed' but to call this incident "unfortunate" is drawing a long bow. Thrustt sent money into the ether to a seller that he thought was "suspicious". I agree with Mr Nismoid, there are better/safer ways to do business.

r31 gts-r a crappy car? More a collectors item now...

... not too mention more heavily modified and in better nick than most people's newer models. The bloke who posted that might want to do some more investigation in future.

Look im not saying transfers are bad, you just have to be selective with the people you do it with.

Get them to scan thier license and email it through, or other types of ID.

Whilst this might tick the buyer off, if they genuinely want to sell thier item legitimately there shouldnt be too much of an issue.

We i know even ID's can be chopped etc.

I just hate people being ripped off over the internet when there are such simple ways to avoid it from the outset as i see it too often.

I even have had friends dicked by doing silly things, where as ive never had one bad thing in all the years...

cheers for the heads up dude. were you actually thinking he was dodgy and is that the reason why you only planned to buy one at a time?

and yeh the R31 GTS-R won the australian supercar series in 86 and 87. never won a bathurst but yeh these race spec cars had 550hp. in this trim would still blow away a lot of the V8 supercars today. they are definitely not to my taste either but they still hold an important place in history.

I have 16 for sale.. $200 each, sorry no pics they are at my grandmothers sisters house and my camera was leant to a girl scout last week so i don't have it. Also i don't have a license, my address is a PO BOX and my mobile number changes weekly because i have a male stalker that likes my defined calves. If you want my mates my bank details let me know! Cheers. :P

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
