melbourne trading post are ****s...


Recommended Posts

I just thought i'd share that..

I put my damn car in there.. so i think, ok, i'm not going to write 50 pages on my car and pay $2000 for the ad, so i'll just put the basics and put the link to the website i created with everything a person would need to know.. i think, ok, that will work nicely.. person goes to the site before having to hassle me over the phone with pointless questions. So lo and behold, in their wiseness they've decided to take the URL out *without damn telling me*

****ing get with the times, farkin losers..

who the **** wants to look at some shitty 2cm photo in some ****ing shitty paper that you can't really see shit about the car??! when a one word URL can put as many damn photos and info as you like in a proper form. Trying to hold on to old fashioned printed values, and trying to screw a person out of a more effective method of trying to sell their car is just stupid if you ask me.

And not only that its not at all specified in their stupid "terms and conditions". Bastards!

thank **** i didn't do a "prepaid" ad

/RANT OVER

They are trying to make you keep the car bitch!

Maybe :D .. those QLD roads are calling "skyline...skyline... skyline" I know. I think i also hear it whispering "2530.. 2530..2530" for some reason? :D

thanx mick.. i know, well i doubt i'll get much interest because i left all the good stuff in the website and its one you have to see to appreciate why its a bit more than other 33 out there, but oh well.. See what happens.

Whats the other places you sell your car these days?

My advice is unique cars mag. I tried all sorts of forums and cheap web sites for 6 months for basically no respose.

Put it in unique cars - 1st week had 15 calls - sold it to best offer 6 days after mag was released (sold interstate too). Was great. Still getting calls now and the next issue is due out next week.

I also bought my Skyline from there too.

yeah you would have - needs to be done 15 days before the mag release date. Website - kinda. All ads in unique cars go on carpoint.com.au web site for a month - the web site advert gets an extended description as well. I used the website to place my add however - but remember to go back an change the option from standard to 1/8 color page which you cant do when you first set up the add. Costs more (about $100 total) but is worth it. I bought a few issues and looked at the ads and descriptions that caught my eye and used those as a basis for my ad.

But yeah - your next opportunity will be for the mag realesed at the end of Nov.

Hope that helps and good luck!

Yup, it had to be in about 2 weeks ago, so i've missed this issue. Doubt i'll be around for 2 months anyhow. I finish work on the 7th :D I'm not even going to be at the same address in a week.

Looking around though at prices, i think its a bit of myth that cars are cheaper in QLD (not skylines anyway), so doesn't really matter either way.

:burnout:

There's a hovercraft for sale in this week's 'Things That Go' - I'm afraid that may take some attention away from the Skyline.

Just thinking about this - would be pretty rad cruising to work. Go along the river, then drive up the boat-ramp at Princess Bridge. Hmmmm

Mind you, attention just diverted to a Skyline - ICEGTR for sale on same page...

hehe.. you could be right there :) Last time i was cruising around up there, brisbane, Sunshine Coast and the twistys, I was driving like a Daihatsu Charade that wouldn't go above 120km/hr! It was like being a caged animal!

Pred is closer to me in melb than you are up there in Cairns Puuuuunnnkkkkassssss :)

The gold coast hinterland has some awsome roads... The locals know ;)

when i sold my supra i used carsales.com.au

its $10 for as long as you like. plus you can upload pictures and it tells you how many people looked at the ad etc.

DO NOT advertise in the Age or Herald Sun definately not worth it.

but as far as trading post goes i have always had positive experiences with them, i even bought my R32 through there!

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
