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.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
