Buyer from WA PM'd me about 2 weeks ago saying there were issues etc.

So eventually got a refund... Although, he had to PAY to have them shipped back to get it >_<

I've had the pics for a while. Wasn't gonna post them public unless it was warranted

Because it doesn't say buyer beware? and I forgot that I usually get my parts im trying to sell professionally cleaned before I post them. I don't see the reason for the ban.

She did refund they guy. It's not like she just flogged em off then was like unlucky.

What proof is there of this?

He was probably just like wtf is the problem, you bought them based on the photos. Unlucky.

Same could be said for him threatening to bad mouth her all over the forums because he bought rims without inspecting them.

There is a lot more going on in the background that you realise, I've got a copy of all the emails and what not. The refund didn't come "easily".

To say things are in ok condition when asking questions (before buying) - and then to have them rock-up totally farked?

Then have PAY to have them shipped back at your OWN expense from a dodgy seller?

Just flogged them off is exactly what happened. Then to make threats, just pathetic.

SAU doesn't just ban people unless there is a very good reason as most cases it is indeed buyer beware, however you aren't allowed to just up and sell something (that is essentially useless, and you knew about it) for a reasonable amount - and not expect to be still using this site.

Nick still rocking JDM-007? Saw it down Burwood Hwy heading towards defect city...

nah man, ninja golf stylez now :P

Nope. some dude in preston or something has it nao.

nah, guy bought it for his missus who lives in lilydale iirc

but everyone that spots it, its around preston, templestowe area and guy driving :P

hahahahaha

How can you defend someone who lists an item for sale without mentioning that it's f**ked?

f**k the dumb bitch and her boyfriend

+2

:laugh:

he didnt actually get a full refund anyway, sent back at his own expense

and those are very obvious cracks/bends etc

the pics she posted originally never had anything like that showing

I'm sure he deserved it though, right brah?

lol

I lol'd

Break it's neck Rimon. Gotta say though, it is the most immediately painful shit when a screwdriver slips...without fail it's gonna catch you in the hand and take a fair chunk of flesh with it. Had a chunk missing from my thumb years ago, it looked like someone had taken a bit out of an apple.

bone stopped it going all the way through, that's how it felt anyway...

skin as usual was still holding on a tiny bit, just flipped it back in place and let it dry it glued itself back on lol

oh and bikes

kgo

Well yeah you'd be shitty, I know I'd be shitty but then again I'd not buy an item like that without physically seeing it.

You come to expect a certain level of honesty when buying things from long time SAU members. She deserved a ban even without the threats

Ahh it seems like all the usual suspects up to there forum bullying antics - havent you guys moved on in life -you were doing the same shit 5 years ago - get a life - people getting villified on here and banned, but seems people are quick to jump on the bandwagon.

These rims were bought by some muppet in Perth who decided that just because he didnt like them he would clean them up and find faults with them. Theyre almost 20 years old - what do you expect? a brand new set of Volk GTCs in the box? they were used on a vehicle for years with no problems - if they needed excessive balancing or didnt hold air that would be a different story - the guy in perth was accordingly refunded and he OFFERED to post them back - however when the wheels were re listed, it seems he still decided that he would be petty about it and report the matter on the skylines forums. The person selling them was accordingly banned because apparent "threats" were made when the guy was asked why he decided to report it after he was given a refund. The seller was/is being villified on the skyline forums as a dodgy seller and a scammer - yet refunded the money when they had every right to ignore the request - its not like buying from a shop - so I take it Ash that your a wheel engineer and an expert because you have seen some pictures of some old Japanese wheels?

The funny thing is these wheels wernt EXCLUSIVLY for sale to Interstate buyers - LOCAL buyers were welcomed to come and view them PRIOR to purchasing, so if theyre so bad - why would you buy it? Jess 14 isnt a wheel expert - was it expected an xray, full engineering report and the like be provided to sell some wheels? Do you sell a house with a full structural report from a Structural engineer? No you dont. This is a tiny matter who the bigwigs of the forum who have little in life going for them have to make into something big. - if people who didnt sit behind a keyboard for 90 percent of their life who have villified the Seller came and viewed them, there wouldnt be a problem. Sadly its no point arguing with retards who get a kick out of forum life.

Was reported long before the refund was given. We've been watching the outcome closely as we do with all reported bad trades.

He wasn't offered a refund initially at all, it was almost 2 weeks before that came about (I have copies of the emails etc).

Don't need to be a wheel expert, need xrays or an engineering degree to know about obvious cracks, bent lips & obvious poor repair. Anyone with their own eyes can see that. Funny that the initial photos showed none of the 4 separate areas of damage.

Buyer also asked seller remove the tyres and inspect them for cracks. Only photo's sent were of of the inside of one wheel (ive seen those as well)

Don't cry victim, i've dealt with more dodgy trades than i'd have liked. Pity people are dishonest in this world.

Sadly its no point arguing with retards who get a kick out of forum life.

And yet... Here you are

When they were re-listed, did the seller state the issue with the wheels that they were now aware of?

I had an R33 GTS-T turbocharger for sale a couple of weeks back...the guy who came to buy it pointed out that the comp housing wasn't correctly numbered and suspected it wasn't an R33 turbo. After research I discovered it was actually an R32 turbo...turns out I'd been ripped off myself when I bought it a couple of years ago. I didn't re-list it as an R33 turbo again though, hoping someone else won't notice the difference...it went back up with the new information I had and I copped it on the chin that it would net me less in a sale. That's the way it should be IMO.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
