Hey everyone,

Well approx last weekend (Saturday) night, i gave a seller an sms who had pm'd me a few days earlier about a power fc which he had for sale. This person pm'd me via boost crusing forum, some of you may know ive been trying to find a Power Fc however with not much luck locally in Perth, I sms'd the seller. I asked for photos however he said he didn’t have a camera to take photos with, therefore i asked for the Serial number of both the Power FC itself and the hand controller. He sms'd me those details without any problems so i thought he must be legit. We organised postage Via express post from Brisbane to Perth, which was said to cost $14.80.. Anyway to be sure i asked the seller if i could pay half now and the other half when the item came to my house, he said that was no problem.

On Monday i deposited the amount and sms'd him to let him know. I received confirmation that he dropped it of at the post office around 3pm therefore roughly 5pm over there. After that i asked for a tracking number just so i knew where my item was and roughly when it would arrive at my house so i don’t miss it. He replied that he will send me the tracking number once he got home, however i got no reply.

I asked him the next day again but did not get any reply, after i asked him again exactly what’s going on, he told me he never got a tracking number and all he has is the receipt. So i thought that’s fair enough maybe he just didn’t get the tracking number of the post office.

On Thursday the item still hadn’t arrived so i asked him if he could photo copy me the receipt or even just to sms me the receipt number. However after that i have not heard from him and he has not replied to any of my text's . I’ve sms'd him a few times asking what’s going on and even rung his mobile but no answer.

So my question is, should i be concerned? Or does express post usually take this long from Brisbane.

Thanks guys, Ni

By next tuesday I would be a bit concerned, it generally only takes around 2-3 business days for express post. Just keep hasseling him for a tracking number, the post office should have given it to him when he sent it off.

if he agreed straight out to taking half the money and posting i'd be worried. theres no way in hell i'd post something interstate until 100% of the money had cleared.

but yer give it a few days before taking action

Hey guys,

Yeah im going to wait till monday and if nothing by monday then ill go see the bank and try sort something out.

Jono that is true, i thought it would be safer for me to pay half then the other half once i get the item, never thought of it that way, hmm hope hes legit :/

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
