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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
