I SMELL A RAT - BLOODY SCAMMERS!!!!!

Heres a copy of the correspondence (part 1). Be careful guys........

Hi,

Is the power fc still available?

If so, I'll take it. Please send me your account details and I will send payment.

Cheers,

Paul.

gday mate did you still want the ecu heres my bsb and account number 303-500 acc 0021222 cheers mate

Hi,

Im still keen for the Power FC.

Is it brand new?

Can you send it via registered/insured post?

Do you have paypal?

Also, for your account details, I will need to know the account name?

Regards,

Paul.

Hey mate yeah it's brand new, I don't use paypal anymore they sting to high charges bank details are acc name j.s Francis bsb 303-500 acc 0021222 bankwest bank I always have insurance on all my items I post and registered or express either way

Hi,

What if I was to cover the 4% paypal fee?

No offence but you are quite new to SAU and its a lot of money to send by bank transfer.

Regards,

Paul.

I can understand mate but I refuse to use paypal as I bought some headlights from japan and they were damaged and they wouldn't replace or refund them so now I won't be using paypal any more im sorry if you wanted to use paypal but I prefer aus post registered insurance as there easier to deal with and cover the amount if not received by registered post I have 2 other people keen, as you were the first to pm

Me about it I'm leaving upto you if you want to proceed I hope you understand, but once a payment facility stuffs me over I refuse to use em again thanks

Aus post doesnt cover me if you rip me off though. Im not saying you would but I cant risk that much money without some kind of assurance.

Youve only been on SAU for 3 days and you've only posted to sell these items.

They are expensive items too and it happens all the time where people come on to forums and rip other people off.

Please dont be offended by what I am saying. Im just being honest.

Would you consider C.O.D through Aus post?

Regards,

Paul.

I understand bud but cod isn't safe either as I received a brick once lol yeah I understand your concern this is mainly why I like to deal with local delivery as I'm selling my new phone and ecu pretty cheap as I need a few bills paid this week

Could you possibley send me a copy of the sales receipt for the power fc?

Regards,

Paul.

Also, are the pics on the for sale page of the actual power fc for sale?

Regards,

Paul.

Part 2

Hey mate I Neva knew about this site till the guy I sold my 34 to told me bout it and the second pic is of the power fc and I got the ecu wen I bought my car didn't come with a reciept

Hey mate I Neva knew about this site till the guy I sold my 34 to told me bout it and the second pic is of the power fc and I got the ecu wen I bought my car didn't come with a reciept

Your sale page states that you have a receipt though.....

Will supply warranty and reciepts for both items thanks

feel free to ask any questions

So this pic is of the actual power fc you have for sale.....

Regards,

Paul.

if you buy this ecu off me this is excatly what u will have sent to u this is the actual item just took a fresh pic

cheers

got a guy coming on tuesday to check it out

post-13684-0-61906200-1299986822_thumb.jpg

also just found out that these ecus are discontinued so there actually worth more

Thanks for the pic. Im keen to purchase but I just need you to confirm the following:

- please let meknow about the receipt as you originally said you could provide receipts.

- please let me know the part number on the box and the serial number on the power fc. can you send me a pic?

- please provide a copy of your drivers license.

If you can do this for me then I will purchase. I trust you understand as you have been ripped off in the past.

Regards,

Paul.

part 3

G'day bud I said I could provide receipts and warranty for the iPhone that I'm selling in the same thread not the ecu I've been told not to

Send photos of the serial number by another member happy to provide my drivers license and all that jazz but this is kinda turning into a headache ATM now I also delis this Are now discontinued so I'll more then likely be putting the price up as it's way to cheap I can't find them for under 1300 saw one for 1900 on a website and from looking on your site you prob want to buy n resell cheers bud

here you go mate heres a pic, ill be putting in on ebay tomorrow

post-13684-0-23387800-1299987061_thumb.jpg

No probs. Send me through a pic of your license and we will go from there.

cheers,

Paul.

hey dude sorry but i dont have my licence to take a pic of hence y im selling everything as i lost it for speeding i think ive been pretty honest in supplyin everything i can

But you said previously that you are happy to provide your drivers license?

i said i was happy to provide as much information as possible im sure you might know people that just lost there licence its habit when i goto the shops to get smoke they ask for id and i automaticlly ggo for my licence its hard adjusting to it look if you dont want it please let me know i searched before and a few brand new members sold a power fc and other items more then mine and they didnt go through this i have bills i need to pay and im looking for something quick

You actually said "Will supply warranty and reciepts for both items" and you also said "happy to provide my drivers license and all that jazz".

yeh... nah. I smell a rat. I think this is a scam. You are using other peoples pics (see here) to sell an item you probably dont even have.

you did say you had a receipt for it but now you say you dont. You siad youd provide your license but now you wont.

You said you dont take paypal but if selling through ebay then you have to have paypal as an option.

I will report you to the SAU mods so you dont take honest peoples hard earned $$$.

Heres a sugestion, for the effort you are putting in to scamming people, you can actually make good money honestly.

part 4

im sorry i reply to your messages at 4 in the morning and i will be suing my mechanics paypal account as i owe him the money so he said i can get paid straight into him

your just wasting my time i know wat i said

i said i was happy to provide any information not relising that i dont actually have my id anymore as i handed it in last week and i said reciepts for the iphone im selling y would i say for the ecu wen i know i dont have one?????

i knew from all the messages your were just blowing smoke just wish people on this site wouldnt waste my time

new members have to start from some where just like buyin off your website i dont know you how do i know ill recieve it it doesnt cost much to make a website mate

just my 2 cents

Im not blowing smoke and Im not risking this much money on your promise either. Id be pretty stupid to do that.

I know what you said too. I have it on record and its in your thread for all to see.

The difference between you and me buddy is that I have been around this scene for over 6 years and have built up the trust and reputation as I am honest and dont steal from people.

If you have no problem then you'd offer paypal and your ID etc...and youd stick to the same story from the beging as it is the only truth.

There are so many cases of people being scammed on this and other forums and your offer smells very much like another scam to me.

thew thing is mate by law i dont have to provide my licence as it can be used for identy theft people make mistakes in the adds doesnt mean there scamming people

so what im gonna do is raise the price so its not a scam as im under selling my self as ur just gonna resell it on your website or you can pay a extra 7% and you can pay into my mechanics paypal account upto you but theres the offers as you cant scam paypal

No thanks.

So just confirming I've offered you a safe payment method and if u were scammed you would get a refund so I'm making this as a record that I've offered you paypal which u said you were happy to before and now refusing so it has been wasting my time thanks mate

No thanks.

Part 5

I'm not offering it again I'm just making a record that there's no possible way a scam can be made as paypal has been offered I'll make note from me and my mates not to buy off you cheers

NO THANKS.

Lol how am I scamming I offered you paypal payment the safest way to buy any item

ok, whats your mechanics name, paypal email address, business name, address, phone number and ABN number?

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
