Hi after recently advertising in the trading post I received a txt message including an email address asking me to contact them by, regarding my L28 c210 skyline. The email conversation is as follows-

"Hi.

I can get more pics if required.

Car is to be sold without rego or roadworthy.

Regards,

Jarryd"

And his reply,

"Jarryd,

Thanks for the prompt response.

Unfortunately, I lost the direct link to the advert on Trading Post as a result of a mandatory system update which my computer did which required it to be automatically restarted. I will be very grateful if you could send me the direct link for the advert again or possibly send me the Trading Post AdNumber as I will like to view the advert all over again.

Besides I will like to know if the car has had any mechanical faults or accidents in the past and I will be very glad to have more pix of it.

Do as well advise on the least amount you will like to give the car away as I am very interested in its quick sale.

Due to the nature of my work, I will not be able to travel out of the United kingdom to come for the inspection. I will however be needing your city, state and postal code so that I can forward it to my shipping agent here in the United Kingdom who will be coming over there for the inspection and shipping of the car.

Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.

Kelvin."

Nah dogey mate.

That 'agent' thing is a dead give away, ive seen a heap of bad sellers do this thing.

Dunno what their strategy is, but with the amount of bad sellers using the same line, i seriously doubt its validity.

Just say youre unwilling to sell to an overseas buyer...

Good luck!

Hi Jarryd,

Sounds dodgy. It's not that hard to go back to the trading post and search again to find the car. 

I wouldn't respond to the email at all, at a minimum they're phishing for your email address and other details.

I liked this question, 'what is the least amount you'll give the car away for?'   :)  

cheers,

JohnH

Indeed dodgeys.

A mate found a r32 gtst on carsales recently, seller was in darwin and said he will ship the car over.

on his "location" on the add, it said port melbourne.

I knew the car with what mods it had was too good to be true

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
