And thanks to you I've just found near on $1000 worth of parts... one of which is this sexual piece

Does Andrew at AM performance make metal intake pipes??

when i finally get time meet up with Vu to pick up the dump pipe, im gonna also get him to make the exit pipe for me aswell.

Sure does mate... he'll make pretty much anything you want

You make it sound so simple. I'm sure theres some clause in the PayPal T&C that has allowed these scammers to get away...

What I reckon is this: they ask if theres anything they should know about the car, the seller misses something out, they buy the car pay with paypal, it clears, seller gets money sends off car, they receive the car and file paypal dispute over some bullshit thing that seller didnt state and 99% of the time paypal sides with the buyer and the money gets transferred into their paypal account and the seller's paypal account is suddenly minus whatever amount and they dont return the car, strips it down or whatever and paypal chases up with the seller to recoupe the money.

That is an extremely complicated way to rip someone off and IMO unlikely to be a clean get away as the level of identification, communication and contact required would result in a way to find the person again. You'd be better off doing the old 'lets take it for a test drive' and jump the driver. Much simpler and cleaner.

In the two examples listed in this thread where people were ripped off were because they read an email to say they had the funds but didn't log into PayPal and check to see that the funds were actually in their account. The step after that is for the seller to transfer the funds from PayPal into their own personal bank account. If these steps had been followed the people would not have been ripped off.

why not just do it the old fashioned way with a bank transfer? :P worked for me

If you transfer $ into someone's account and they rip you off it is virtually impossible to get the $ back. The saying goes 'buyer beware' for a reason.

I don't work for PayPal and it seems strange that I am defending them but as a user since 2006 I have never once had a problem whereas I have had two problems with groupbuys on SAU where I deposited funds straight into someone's account. I feel safer as a buyer using PayPal.

Yes but I went to your house, knew where you lived :) Thats enough for me to know ;D

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
