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

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
