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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
