Buyer Beware..... if this thread doesnt ring alarm bells - then you deserve to get ripped!

For those interested parties, I would buy them form eBay, using Paypal as a security measure.

Looks like the Eastern European scamers have moved from credit card fraud to selling dodgy online goods. If KON does not have possession of the goods , what makes you think that he will purchase the goods from racer and then send them to you? If Racer sells the goods just as you pay Kon for them, and ships them to the eBay buyer, do you think that Kon will refund your money?

Hard to believe anything in this thread is genuine and true...

Nothing wrong with making a buck Kon.. But telling people you are someone you are not will always land you in the sh*t on the net, I doubt you will find anyone to buy anything of value off you in the future lad.

This was something I would have never thought someone would do something like this, not to mention just really burns me up. I'm really lucky a fellow member who I have sold a lot of RB parts and items to AU made me aware of the thread. What ever that could have happend has been avoided. As a fellow poster mentioned just buy it thru e-bay and paypal :).

As for the rims they can not have the bump on the inside of the rim if they are similar to the TE37's ? and do you guys still use SIMONZ rims in the AU ? if so you have to have at least about 17in clearance inside diameter but if it has that bump on the inside it will not fit. ----------------------

Nope, that dude in Japan who was selling them is no where to be found any where but Im sure he will pop up eventually. but I do remember he wanted some perverted ammount of money for them, but take a look at this on the STI rotors look at this ..........................

STI's have the caliper adapter that is a factory brembo bolt on ???????????? WTF but this will require to use the STI rotors but as a base to start with might be something to look into !

Sold quite a bit of items to a lot of peoples in Australia, and this is how I was alerted by a couple of fellow customers on SAU.

yup I have posted the link to those who are looking into buying them off the ebay auction.

Does not look good if you ask me.

That email says it all really.

The kind of person being dealt with here is disgraceful.

I would 100% agree with them. You cannot sell something you do not even own. Not that it matters, you are already banned.

Also your other username is now banned as well: jdmhvn

If you honestly think Admin are stupid then you need to have a think about it. We deal with your type all the time. Spot it a mile away.

Anyone with "kon"s details from past trades, PM them to me please.

I will now add "kon" to the bad trader listing to ensure that indeed not one more person trades with him again.

for anyone unclear this practice of trying to 'pre-sell' parts off ebay before actually buying them yourself is completely against the forum rules. the for sale section is here for people to sell their goods. that is items THEY OWN.

Kon or whatever your name is, posting up something for sale before you own it is completely against the rules. what if racer89 decided not to sell them to you? what if they got damaged in transit to you? what if they were stolen before you received them? then you have a big problem with a buyer who has unknowingly taken a risk.

Don't forget you also flat out lied repeatedly.

you claimed they were YOUR calipers.

you claimed they were in japan.

when called on the truth you then claimed you had bought them from racer89 and then decided not to use them and were just selling them to recoup money. also 100% lie. you had not bought them yet, so if in fact you were buying them to use and changed your mind all you had to do was not go through with buying them as you were not bound to the purchase in any way and had not spent any money. why would you go ahead and buy them if you'd changed your mind only to have to re-sell them again? I know why. the story was 100% bull shit.

you also claimed you were wrecking an R35 when in actual fact you were beating down the price on someones ebay sale and then jacking the price up here without having to risk any of your own money. great plan.

how on earth you can claim racer89 did anything but the right thing is beyond me. you not only misled people about the sale but you flat out lied about it to make some easy cash. all he did was post on here clearing up who actually owned the calipers. the fact you were trying to buy them does not make them your calipers.

perhaps you should have just told the truth but I guess that would have fked up your no risk profit plan. though you really should have told the truth once you were found out. instead you just dug that hole of bullshit deeper and deeper making yourself look shonkier and shonkier. no one made you look bad. you made yourself look bad.

try dealing with a bit of honesty. if you want to profit from overseas ebay parts at least do the right thing and put up your own money and buy the damn things, get them over here and then once actually in your possession you can sell them and if you buy smartly you may even make a little profit. it's a pretty low way to make cash but no one will stop you doing that as at least you are honestly selling something you own and you risked your own money to buy them from overseas. taking that risk of lost/stolen/scam parts should entitle you to some reward. just forget all the bullshit stories that go with it. and forget about ever selling anything on this forum again.

Beer Baron,

I think the worst part of it is the part when he claimed my ebay user ID as himself. I was lost for words at this point. I do want to thank the forum/customers/mods and the site owner for the help with this thread.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
