Hi guys, just like to let every one be aware of 33DVL as i have just had a dodgey transaction with him for a r33 manual gear surround.

Its been over 6 weeks since the transaction took place and i still have not received it.

Communication started off really well, then the excuses starting coming out that apparently there was a stuff up at the post office that it was still sitting there for a week.

i asked him if they were to refund the postage, and he said they were going to after he told me he'd already been down there to find out what had happened.(sus)

He offered to refund the postage, but never asked for my bank account details.

Then he was offering me extra parts as compensation for taking so long, which i thought was odd seeing as how 'it wasn't his fault'. (sus)

Since then i had no response from him.

Just a heads up, also i have noticed that every one of his sale ads has no pics.

Mate to be fair, and this is not on anyway me defedong the guy, but Screw ups at the post office Are very common. I've had a few myself.

Also how much can a gear surround possibly be worth? doubt sum1 would purposely scam u for a few bux.

But than again ppl have done dumber things. All the best with getting ur money back buddy.

So in 24hrs the story has changed...

If you have issues, raise it with Admin next time rather than threads like this.

People far too often jump the gun as buyers, see it all the time where 2 days and suddenly its sorted

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
