I think my friend has been scammed by someone on carsales for his 33.

Too early to tell at the moment but I guess we'll wait and see.

Basically, we put the car up on Saturday for 8,800, someone called him this morning and says I'll buy it for 8,500. Mate has agreed. We received a payment notification this afternoon for 11,500 followed by an email from this guy saying he's going to organise for the car to be picked up by a logistics company who's head office is in malaysia. He went on to mention something about Western Union which is what caught my attention. It also raised alarm bells when he's deposited 3k for the shipping when you would normally think they would organise it themself and pay over the phone or something. The dude reckons he's in the navy and is buying the car for his missus.

Oh well, time to play the waiting game I suppose.

EDIT: Called PayPal this afternoon to check if there were any pending payments. Nothing at all. Hopefully noone shows up here with a flatbed asking to take the car.

If anyone turns up tell them there has been a mistake. Easy solution. Unless of course the funds appear in a less dodgy way. Looks like a fairly standard carsales scam though.

2nd exam down. It was 10x harder than I expected, so lame. But I still think I smashed it, it was open book and I had all my lecture notes with me so that was good lol.

I was at work when they were talking with him so I didn't get all the details of what they said etc. It did seem a little strange when I first saw the email, but we were all pretty excited to be able to sell the car so quickly hahah.

Meanwhile, R33 GTST for sale 8,500!

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).

      Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
