People need to be able to edit their original posts in the for sale section.

I know it sounds a bit crazy, but I think it'd be easier if prospective buyers only had to read the seller's original post. Rather than having to read the original post then scour the rest of the thread to see which items have been sold or had their prices changed.

Thank you for considering this wacky and unconventional suggestion.

Sincerely,

Common sense

Scammers tend to edit their first post after having ripped people of hudreds or thousands of dollars, making it impossible to be of any assistance afterwards.

As a side benefit, it also enforces sellers to adhere to well thought out, logical sale posts rather than a half arsed effort that is of no use to anyone.

If this seems disadvantageous to you, then by all means create a second "placeholder post" for future updates.

Thanks for your suggestion, but this feature is the result of operating under various arrangements for over 6 years. This is the optimal result, deal w/ it.

Kind regards,

Reality.

Ahh, good point. People can't scam if they can't edit.

Wait, no..

How familiar are you with MySQL and MySQL dumps?

If a copper contacted you about some poor schmo who spent $5k on a non-existent turbo kit only to find that the original thread was nowhere to be found, reckon you'd be able to trawl through 100+GB of mysql dump files to find the original thread and post?

Oh wait, but what if the thread was made and deleted between backups?! What will we do now???

I see you put a lot of thought into your suggestion, but you could have also put the same amount of thought into PM'ing a moderator of the for sale section to request they change your thread.

We're not exactly new to all of this. :)

What's triple threat?

Speaking of SAU's role in hunting down forum scammers, I read this somewhere;

"Skylines Australia takes no responsibility for transactions that occur as a result of this forum. CAVEAT EMPTOR - BUYER BEWARE!!!"

Anyways, I had a feeling I'd end up getting into a cockfight by posting feedback in the feedback section. Jokes aside though, I just wanted to put it out there as a matter of principle, not because it's a big issue for me. Thank you for your explanations.

I suppose your local paper should be responsible for every item they advertise in the classifieds too.

No we're not responsible. However, we do like to take time out of our normal schedule to help those who have met with irresponsible sellers.

Well it's been put out there in 10 pages of the thread that already covers this

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.

    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
