Hey guys!

I'm currently selling my R34, just put it up on firesport and gumtree, going to put it up today or tomorrow on carsales, and already got a couple hits, but all from NZ...

It all sounds suss and too good to be true as i jacked up the price to 17G for a N/A Tip-Tronic R34 Coupe Skyline and there is still 2 of them chasing! (I would prefer local with cash in hand thats why im putting up the price).

My question is, has anyone sold cars to people in NZ? Whats the process like?

They both claim they work on oil rigs and need a car when they come back, they say they arrange all shipping of the car and someone to come pick it up, money to be transfered via paypal! All conversation have been done via email so far.

I dunno if its a scam or not, but it sounds to good to be true...

And if you can leave some info on selling tips via paypal, cos ive only ever used it to buy...

Cheers

Serg

Anything to do with a paypal payment for a car sounds like a scam.

My brother advertised on carsales and had a phone call and an email from someone in Malaysia offering to deposit the money into a paypal account, and they did!

However there plan was to get paypal to withdraw payment before they got the car...(we worked it out before any money was sent)

EDIT: They even did some research about what kind of car and where they might be driving it in there country.

Does your email look like the CarSales paypal scam email?

I had a very similar story when selling my wrecked r34.. They offered to pay more than I was asking and said they would pay via paypal which is ment to be safe... Then they tried to clam there paypal wasn't working and wanted me to pay them for shipment then they would reimburse me etc etc.. It was obviously a scam.. That was off eBay though..

set your email address to a bogus one and let any keen people actually ring you

probably 99% of the banana heads that email you are scammers etc

so just set your email address to [email protected] and let the real people ring you

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
