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.

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done.

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).
