hey everyone, im from SA but i really need som help tracking down a member of this forum, his name is Josh Martin (180sxdrifterj).

im trying to find him because i bought a car from him recently and never recieved it. he has since changed his numbers and i cant find him. i really need to get some personal details as i am going to the police. I know i am mostly to blame in this incident as i put my trust in someone i didnt really know but please spare me the hacks, this has caused me enough grief already. He used to own a R32 gtst and a onevia and i think he was on here fairly frequently.

any info you can give will be hugely appreciated and if anyones been through this before and can give me some advice that will also help.

cheers, Nick.

Well I'm just interested how you buy a car, and you don't actually get it?

Generally people hand over cheque/cash as they pick up the car...

And you saying you put 'trust' in someone certainly sounds like a blind EFT... like so many before you.

This is just a larger scale of loss, same theme though unfortunately

because i live in another state, i spoke to him for a while, got all his bank details, work numbers and phone numbers. and he generally seemed like a very trust worthy person, but of course he wasnt and im still kicking myself everyday about it, its only 5grand but im a student and it was all my money.

he has sinced cancelled his numbers, stopped replying to any emails, and even changed jobs so i really dont know what to do, I'm sick of this playing on the back of my mind everyday so im taking a long shot and hoping someone will help me out. trust me i know now it was an incredibly stupid thing to do and i am pretty embarrassed about the whole ordeal so sorry if i snapped but ive already beat myself up enough about this.

as another incentive anyone who helps me to tracking him down and getting my money back will get a $1000reward (if i manage to get my cash back).

The way i see it

You have his name ,Bank details,place of work,phone number .

Give this info to the police and they will find him in about a hour. Problem solved.

Unless you are looking for him for a totaly different reason and you cant go to the police .

You cant just pop in here and ask for peoples details..

i have numbers that are no longer connected and his old works number, i figured the police would say it wasnt enough i was just hoping to get a working number and go straight to the cops with it before he changes it again. im telling the %100 truth here, im not a drug dealer or hit man, wouldnt mind hitting him though trust me.

Integrity much?

The highest you'll find.

Think about it for a second and then tell me im wrong.

How do you know ANY of the above it true?

You don't. Assumptions offer nothing, proof is everything. We don't give out ANY personal details easily, without solid evidence.

So if you have proof - follow correct channels via police and so on.

Handing out someone's details over the internet above what you can "google" isn't something i would expect a "mate" to do at all.

try some of the people in that thread, they may have bought it and picked it up.

And another

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=236727&hl=

And another with some one who seems to know him, you need to do more leg work if you really want your money back.

cheers man i look into it. nismoid if you know something and dont wanna tell me cos u dont trust me thats fair enough, but PM me cos id be willing to forward you emails as proof, ive still got them all saved, could also scan up deposit reciepts etc.

I was just pointing out the silly integrity comment mainly is unfounded, and wrong.

I honestly know nothing, and i wont give out his details until the Police contact, im happy to deal with them, i have many times before

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
