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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
