actually doesnt look pure crap,,,, depends on the price I guess. but most of the stuff these days is made in a half dozen factories in china, asia and remarked with logos in the very end.. unless it is made in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, USA with country stamps on it.

but really for the cost of some of the stuff it can be ok.... not everyone has 10k for a pair of tweeters made in Denmark...lol

the name is still a direct rip off ,,,isnt it...lol

Has anyone ever sold a car via paypal?

Just had a guy say he wants to buy my car and pay via pay pal and pick it up later?

Or is it a scam :blink:

scam

What makes you say that? How can it be a scam? He wants to pay first and collect later.

yeah thats what i thought lol.... they msg me through carsales.

I prefer to purchase something using PayPal in case the seller is running a scam. If I deposit funds directly into a sellers account it is extremely difficult & time consuming to get that money back if the goods never turn up (happened to me once on a SAU group buy) or if the goods are not as described (again happened to me once on SAU). If I had used PayPal then at least I have a conflict resolution process to go through and PayPal can get my money back a lot easier. Ask the buyer why he wants to use PayPal? And what are you worried about if he wants to pay first and collect the car later?

I don't really trust the whole process of buying a car over the internet without even looking at it, even though the person seems to be in n.s.w they also said "im going away for abit out of town and want to pay via paypal".

Seems crap if you want to pay that much for a R33 GTR without looking at it. lol

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
