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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
