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!

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By MBS206 · Posted

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
