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.

Yeah really makes wonder????????????????

Just had Trent from mercury motorsport ring to tell me if i send him the other 6 grand he will be able to get me my gearbox, JUST DONT INVOLVE THE POLICE HAHAHAHAHA.

well glad theres been progress mate (not suprised seeing how hes had many dealings here on sau and therefore an address wouldnt be too hard to source out)

but personally i wouldnt send another 6k to a guy who for some very odd reason (that maybe mercury motorsports might be able to explain to us) refuses to allow you to pick up the item personally.

:P good luck buddy

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!

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
