Been looking for an R33 GTR and came across this one on car sales : Here

It's only $8,800 and doesn't state any problems on the listing. I've sent an email off to the seller for his contact details to inspect the car but I'm yet to receive the details.

Has anyone seen this car before? Or know why it's so cheap? Or maybe it's a typing error :wacko:

Someone after a quick sale will shave a grand or two off the price of what most are going for. Someone after your cash will halve it :)

Excuse the ignorance but how do they intend to scam someone in this case?

Surely people aren't paying online before seeing the car or something...

Oh yes they are...no matter how stupid a scam may seem there's always someone in the world stupid enough to fall for it :(

How they come across / save the money in the first place is beyond me...

Confirmed to be a scam :)

Email from scammer:

Hi and sorry for my late reply,

I confirm that the car is immaculate technically and aesthetically speaking.

There is no outstanding finance on the car, also the car comes with a full service history and RWC.

The last price, including door to door delivery, is $8800 .

I love this car and I am very upset at having to sell it.

It has served me well but I just moved to High Wycombe, WA and I can't afford to keep it and I need the money fast so I can pay off some debts.

The car was advertised on eBay as well and I will run the transaction only under their terms and conditions for our own protection.

We will use eBay Buyer Protection Program (BPP) which will hold the payment until you receive the car.

Your funds will be 100% insured by eBay.

You will have 5 days inspection period, so you'll be able to see and inspect the car before buying it.

If you don't like the car after inspection or is not as I've describe it, you can reject the deal.

If you need more information regarding the transaction just visit the following web page from eBay 's website :

http://ebay-australia-bpp.center-au.biz//Buyer-Protection-Program/OVERVIEW/QQ6577457745784

If you are interested in this car please provide me the following details in order to start the transaction through eBay :

-Your Full Name and Shipping Address

-Your eBay ID

-Any negative feedback and if so .... for what reason .

Kind regards,

Dianne Sullivan

And an email from carsales :)

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
