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.

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.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
