We (Mercury Motorsport) in no way condone not giving the money back and it is far from a scam! It is a large ticket item that 555kkk has for sale. People get nervous with this kind of cash and I have heard people being robbed for less. The only reason Mercury Motorsport is mentioned in this whole thing is because we are trying to help complete a sale that was between to other parties who obviously can't even sort themselves out.

Well thats one way of paraphrasing my offer to help you get the gearbox in a hurry!

I got a PM from gtr30beast asking for my assistance. I rang him and offered to mediate a solution that would help both parties (I was working under the assumption that Phillip still wanted the gearbox and that Ben still wanted to sell it). I didn't have to ring you and offer to help, but because I know Ben and that nothing sinister is going on I thought I could help out. I even offered to go and pick up the box and send it to Phillip to ensure that he had someone on his side up here (in Brisbane) to complete the sale for him!

From what I can gather, BOTH parties are stressing about being ripped off (kind of ironic!), this has led to some very agro txting, each party doubting the other and then it was doomed from there. There is a peaceful solution and if that means I have to step in and help then that is what I am doing.

I would like to know what the reason is behind the refusal to pick the item up ..sounds pretty dodgy.

Would you let a stranger come to your house and pick up a $12k gearbox? I would be worried about being robbed, or having the place robbed in the not to distant future!

People don't even list their address when selling a car for the exact same reason!

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.
