I am unaware as to why dAVE's thread has been locked (to protect the guilty perhaps?), but I want to open another thread along the same lines, warning the others of past bad dealings with traders on this forum.

I have been burnt to the sum of $1250 last August by a user named Gtt98.

Responding to his post, I purchased and paid for a "new" HKS twin plate clutch, a second hand set of "nismo" front pipes and mid section for my 33GTR.

I was assured all of these goods were new and/ or in perfect working order, or money would be refunded.

Upon opening the package, I found a worn out standard nissan single plate clutch (in a HKS box) and a mid-exhaust section of no known manufacturer, no front pipes.

I contacted the individual, but was given the "i dont know what is going on" scenario. I warned that without his co-operation, that the police would become involved.

Lest to say, the Brisbaine division of the Computer Crimes Investigation unit have been unable to identify the individual due to a very co-operative (on his behalf) house-mate. I was able to provide them with a phone number, forum links, email conversations and a home address!

Again, I think this post was a good idea, and the users of the 'For Sale' section need some background on past shoddy dealings with other users.

PS If anybody in Brisbaine knows of this guy, or is prepared to aid in the recovery of my money, contact me for reward details.

Pawley ,

If you read the thread, it says something along the lines of contacting me if you have information on bad traders. I may have over looked it but as far as i know I have never received an email or pm from you regarding this.

The reason its closed is not "to protect the guilty" as you may think.. (i dont know what drugs your on mate, but if we wanted to protect them, do you think we would go to the trouble of having the thread)....... but to protect the innocent... whats to stop me or any other random forum member putting your name up there if it was open?

And yes, I know of GTT98, however the other person who was ripped off by him has yet to forward me the details as requested. If you guys get ripped off r too lazy to email/pm me, then why should i waste my time?

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
