Care to share?

emailed old dude (Scott Martin) about the engine back in april.

He sent me photos and info on the engine. responses were quick.

Decided to buy the engine. I made payment. First the idiot sent me the wrong bank details.

I waited for the funds to bounce back then i resent them to the correct account.

Contact at this point became slower and slower.

He told me that he was going to either frieght the motor etc or drive it up.

Weeks went by then he told me the shipping company sent it to Western Australia by mistake. At this point i asked for a tracking number and company he used.

That request was ignored. After that he told me he was now going to drive it up. Weeks went by and told me he was driving it up on 28/5/11.

I waited at home all day expecting the engine, tried calling him all day/smsing to find out where he was, how much longer etc. He sends me a sms 5pm that day saying his trailer is f**ked, the engine is f**ked, give me your bank details im returning your money. Tried calling straight away and no answer.

Managed to get in contact the following monday. gave me some bs story about how the trailer unhooked while driving or a wheel flew off. Told me he was going to transfer the money that week.

Contact none existant. my calls/sms/emails all ignored. Get an email on the friday saying his friend made the payment on friday evening.

no contact at all. no money shows up all through the following week. sends me one email after saying oh thats wierd it was definately done im going to find out.

since then i havent been able to get in contact. sms/email/phone all ignored.

this guy is a flamin mongrel

There is more ........................................

He contacted me when I last went to Melbourne and wanted to buy the Jenesis Front & AdThree rear I have. Wanted me to take them to Melbourne with me & call him when I arrived. Well from 2 weeks before I left I heard nothing and therefore never took the parts down.

Cazz sold an DR30 front cut to him, never contacted, and couldn't be contacted as far as I last new.

Interesting fellow is this old dude ????????????????????????????????????????????????/

Odd that a L20ET and short gearbox, and a Wolf 3D w/wiring for a R30 should appear - yes, I know, not together - in the OP. Because that is what I had in my R30 when it was stolen last year. Car hasn't been found, so it must have been stolen for parts, and is now spread across 15 different cars.

The bits he is selling is originally from a modified 280zx turbo, which he bought the L28et engine/box/wolf 3d for $1500 last year, was on 'viczcar' forum.

L20et is from his HR30 4 door, bought of GT-R30 or whatever the callsign was on here.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
