Hey guys, bought a power fc and still haven't received it. It should've arrived sometime last week already as the seller mentioned he posted it as soon as i paid for it which was monday last week. I've been trying to contact him as well and doesn't seem to be picking up any of my calls I'm getting a bit worried as I've been scammed before. I went to the bank to kindly contact the person but they said it's not their responsibility to notify the person. If worsts comes to worst and still haven't received it this week, i've probably been scammed again. My question is, can i retract my money from the bank, I still have my receipt proving it was me who made the deposit.

-thanks.

That's why I try and use PayPal where possible, and get them to use Registered mail. (If they don't post it, can always claim within 42 days).

Where did you buy it off?

(Also, I advise that you use the word "advice" :))

i thought was rather safe, went to the bank verified if it was the correct person, and the money is still in the bank just that the contact number is incorrect apparently. hahah yeah i used the term "advise" was thinking of the verb instead of the noun Lol was just too lazy to edit the title. I guess i would have to go to the cops so they can grab the details from the bank not sure if it's gonna be much use though...

Have you googled the number? I always start there, especially when money is involved with people I never dealt with before.

Ask the cops what to do as he has frauded you and you have his number and proof of money being deposited... they can look up who owns the number and look up who owns the bank account. It is only a few phone calls and minimal paper work to do that.

Otherwise pray that it comes (which it still might) maybe he is flying it in from overseas and just reselling it ect... a million legit and dogey reasons, but a couple of weeks isn't much time

Have you tried putting your mobile phone on the private function , so your number doesn't show up on his phone when you call him . Then he might answer his phone if he doesn't know it's you . Worth a try i think !!

I've used many different phone numbers to contact him, and yes as well as private. When i went to the bank to verify the number i have to see if it matches the number registered on their system and the person serving me said that it was a totally different number. Went to the cops said they can't really call up the bank and request for the personal details whilst the bank told me otherwise, told me to go to the cops for them to request the personal details from the bank. I know it hasn't been that long but like if the seller called me to remind me and check up on me if i have deposited the funds on the day. After i've deposited it, I called him to confirm that i have deposited the funds into his account which he then said he'll post it in an hour. I called him the day after, had to call him few times for him to pick up then when he picked up I asked if he posted it he said yes.

So like if it was posted on monday, should've received it friday or early time this week. He hasn't been picking up any of my calls since. Just like my previous experience earlier this year as well, when i bought an iPhone said it was posted express. express doesn't take 2 weeks == never heard from the guy again after 2 days as well. fml.

lol i can pm the number if they want. i like googled it up and it's some stuff in qld.

Didn't I tell you to google it, google catches nearly everyone out, now you have a place to search and entrap him. The number may come up as a business, usually found in the classifieds, it is the best when this happens and you then find the same guy trying to sell his car on carsales, go out to view the car and demand your money back or you'll beat him to a pulp, true story, google is great and bad at the same time.

It is getting harder for the scammers and crims to make a living these days with instant access to information.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
