Well mate there is very little you can do. . . Once you have willingly transfered your money over to someones account it is legaly theres.

There is no point going to the bank because the person who own's the account hasnt broken any laws unless he was bound by a legal contract of some sort.

My mother works in a bank and she explained to me that this sort of thing happens alot and there is absolutely nothing that can be done.

The safest way to buy/sell goods interestate would definately be via C.O.D(Cash On Delivery). Even so, you may turn up to the post office and end up paying for an empty box.

Once again. . . It would be very hard to get your money back. . .

It's a quite risky business buying and selling via the internet.

It would cost you more to chase it through the courts than it's worth but a contract is a contract whether it's written, verbal, emailed or whatever. I haven't finished my law degree but I have passed contracts.

You could write him a letter saying that you know who he is and that you will sue him for the money plus costs and generally make life hard for him. You can use the Small Claims Tribunal or whatever it's called in your state.

Be up front with him and say that you realise that its going to be hard for you to get it back but that you are willing to go to the effort just to **** him over.

Was it through these forums? If so, maybe there is something that can be done????

This is absolutely incorrect. It's called online fraud and it has been targeted by police lately. Definitely file a police report - and be sure to e-mail him a copy.

Can't you go to the bank and say that the dude messed you up? You paid for goods not received..

Failing that, call up the bank and say that you deposited the money into the account by accident (Wrong account no?). I've messed up the account number before and the bank has reversed my deposit.

While I don't advocate 'shady' tactics, if you have been wronged sometimes it's the only way out..

Um, i have been in a similar situation. You *can* get the bank to investigate and get the money withdrawn, but its around $40 I believe to get their investigations team (or something like that) onto it. For $130 it's hardly worth it.

Other option is what others are suggesting, speak to the cops and file a report. Again, because its a small amount cops aren't going to be jumping backwards to investigate it - but worth a try.

In my case it was an accident so I just asked nicely and they deposited it back.

If you are really pissed off you need to go down to the local police station and file a report there.

From there it should get escalated to the federal police but the guys are pretty busy these days.

If you just want to report this as an online crime, visit the AHTCC (Australian High Tech Computer Crime) website: www.ahtcc.gov.au website and grab the crime reporting form.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
