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.

cool thanks for clearing that up.

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

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
