Hey.

Sorry to hear.

I did some googling.

He also goes by the tags of TYGER and PP_082.

This is his ebay account.. it might lead you somewhere, you could get his home/postal address pretty easily. http://myworld.ebay.com.my/pp_082/

If you google his mobile number it seems he has been at it for awhile, selling numerous different cars and parts.

Did you bank deposit him the 6k and he never sent you the stuff?

no he has told me im not allowed to have the gearbox anymore as i wanted to pick it up in person and this was not acceptable to him.I was only allowed to buy it if i put the $12000 in his account and then he would send it ???????.He has now told me he has "deemed" the contract void even though i will do anything to get my gearbox,and he has awarded himself my $6000 as "costs".His exact words i have 123 text messages from him in my phone.

i bought a head($1500) of him ages ago, i felt like i was getting ripped at one point but it was all good, he just doesnt keep in contact.. mercury motorsport knows him well i think and was a middle man for myself and Ben.

i tried to get him on the phone numerous times and he wouldnt answer, but after i spoke to the fella at mercurys all was good.

hope it works out man.

Is that not enough proof for the cops? Well i am kinda new with this whole car thing but what gear box would cost 12k?

Have you paid entire 12k for the gearbox? Why would he send you a gearbox if you haven't paid for it? I have had many successful dealings with 555kkk and I am sure that he is not ripping you off. Sounds like there is more to this story than you are letting on!

mercuryimports under wat circumstances does that farknut have the right to say hes going to keep gtr30beast's 6 grand as costs? costs for what? for sending messages?

If he is not happy with how the transaction is happening, he should have the farkn decency to refund the guy his 6k. says alot bout a workshop when they condone such scams.

hope you get your money back buddy.

    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
