I personally hate those wheels, 80's corvette rip offs...BBS finned wanna be's from le'mans cars of the 80's

dump them Cara , lots of people want them , cause they get crappy looking easy, clear comes off

plus for a race car ,, they wont work anyhow...lol

agreed on the not working for a race car, but wash your mouth out :blink: ti wheels are probably the best factory wheels ausdel 31s came with imo, except GTS1 wheels of course :D

wow that 31 looks pretty straight Cara :D

It's a known scam, friends of friends have been ripped by it.

Can you explain to me how it is a scam? I don't see it. The guy pays you first and picks the car up later. You don't hand over keys until the funds have cleared and are in your account. Where is the scam because I am missing it?

Can't remember exactly what the go was, but they were out of pocket by a few hundred bucks because of some dodgy shit on the 'buyers' behalf. Could dig up the Facebook chat between affected parties but cbf.

I don't know how someone could let their car go without cash or a bank cheque in their hand personally.

Craig: updates are I've gone back to not giving a shit about it. Going to relocate it to my front lawn, chuck it under the car cover and forget about it for a while.

Ok cause I'm real bored I just went and found the convo between my friends on facebook

bit of copy/paste:

trying to sell my car on the net and this guy f**ked me over. Lost $1000 lucky it wasn't more. Should get it back. Its a long story but that is the short of it. Police are looking into it now. Not happy.

was carsales. Lost it through paypal fraud. Like it is really a long story but this guy was good and screwed us over bigtime. Fake paypal emails and money transfers. I was stupid but according to the police its been happening a lot lately. If u look at carsales website there will be a warning on there now about the scam.

f*k not good luke put his on carsale with dads hope it hasnt happend to him too

yeah just warn him that if anyone wants to buy his car via paypal to tell them to f**k off lol.

oh my god u just reminded me someone did say that but keep asking questions so i told them to f*k off it was a chicks name

a chick called Mary is also doing according to the cops. Yeah just watch out for them. All the emails looked legitimate from paypal. This guy was good but not good enough. Dads after him lol.

yep that was her name got it in one i have a email from her

f**k yeah not good. U should tell the cops that she contacted u because it might help them find her. The guys name was Brad Mills. Just in case u get an email from him too and his email addresses are [email protected] or [email protected].

[email protected] this is one of her emails luke has the other one on his email acc

Fair enough she didn't say exactly how they do the sting but I know the people involved and they wouldn't bullshit around, if they say it's dodge then it's a legit scam (excuse oxymoron :blink:). Convo is dated 14th November so it's a somewhat recently active thing too.

Meh like I said, sif you'd sell a car to someone sight unseen via paypal. Reeks of dodgy.

Thanks for digging that up for me because I couldn't see how your friend's friend was scammed. Simple - they didn't transfer funds from PayPal to their own account. They probably never even checked their PayPal balance and just relied upon emails that do look legit (I've had several already). It still sucks and I feel for the people who were scammed but they did make a mistake allowing themselves to be scammed. Unless the money has cleared into your personal bank account it doesn't exist as far as I am concerned. The reason I wanted to dig deeper as I feel safer buying things using PayPal than other methods. And I have bought many things from overseas adding up to over $100,000 (Bentley + 2x GTRs + heaps of car parts etc) unseen and having never met or spoken to the seller. The only times I have been ripped off was on group buys on SAU - and these were a few years ago now. I just wanted you to point out a risk that I may not have been aware of and therefore vulnerable to.

Thanks again.

today might be THE day... car might finally be rolling again!! =D

Hurray :down: ...my boot is half pulled apart so i can rewire my battery cables, too bad the butane blowtorch/soldering iron i bought yesterday doesn't want to work :blink:

All good man, now that you mention it if you make sure the funds are in your actual bank account before anything leaves your possession I can't really see how you could get rorted either.

The clincher is both parties in that convo are women so I guess anything could've happened there :)

surely free beer will make things better....

i had my work doo last friday night, definately drank my fair share of boags premium lol

the ''scotch and coke'' tasted like coke and ice, lol

alcohol + antibiotics = epic liver failure ;(

-D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
