G'day guys.

Just warning you all about a SAU user who has recently signed up. He user name is UST ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ust-m77496.html ) <-- Profile . A couple of weeks ago i posted up a wanted ad for a Apexi Dejetro and offfered a swap plus cash for of my PowerFC. This user messaged me telling me he's got one from his brothers old car and is keen to swap it. We swaped details and I sent my Power Fc plus $300 his way and sent him a tracking number. He then sent me a false tracking number and told me he had sent it. I sent him numerous messages asking him about the false number and what the go was. I got intouch with Australia Post and paid a $25fee and got them to hold my unit at the Post Office in St Keperra. Two days later i got a called from Australia Post telling me they delivered it by mistake. I have not heard anything from this user since and have not received anything in return.

His details are:

Mitchell Jon of 16 Dash St Keperra, Queensland, 4054.

If anyone in the area could keep an eye out for a R32GTR power fc being sold from that area that would be great. I am currently looking into flying over there and paying him a visit.

Thanks for reading and i hope this stops anyone else getting ripped off by this guy.

Cheers

Id suggest maybe not flying over just yet. If shit goes down no matter how it looks it is going to be on u. How does it sound when the police are questioning and they realize u flew up to Queensland for the sole purpose of confronting someone. Even if he comes at u, u where in the wrong place at the wrong time.

man that sucks, im not too far from there. if you do choose to fly over, more than happy to accompany you.

what a wanker.. dont you hate people like that.. rather than flying over.. could you not call the local cops here and press a theft charge?

anyone know any info on this ?

however its not far from me either.. could always roust up a few to go visit with the sheer intention of returning said hardware. i know a few in the neighbouring burbs.

maybe get someone do a driveby on the low down and see if this skyline is still around at this address?

i live close by mate if u need some company on the visit. have guns too. lol. no seriously if i were u id possibly look into the australia post issue aswell because as far as im aware (could be wrong however) the tracking number is a form of insurance and u should be able to be appropriately reimbursed.

whos to say he even lives there... Dash street is right next to the train station...

That train station has bums hanging out there every day...

He could just watch for the posty to drop by each day and take the package once its delivered...

Its like right opposite the station hey...

Im still really pissed off this happened and its real unforunate that it happened to someone else aswell. I went to Australia Post and collected my whooping $25 back and was told there was nothing they could do about it. The parcel was signed for at the following adress though.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
