Anyone know SAU username 600rwskyline or Shannon Gordon from hillside, Victoria. ph: 0435 287 862

Purchased and paid for a turbo on Ebay 15/02/2012 and will not answer my calls or messages!

$885 is alot of money especially for young family! Did pay via paypal and have started a dispute/claim but will take appox 30 days before a refund if any.

I use my skyline to travel to work and back and now relying on my wife and 3month old son.

So will be another 30 days the skyline is off the road as cant afford replacement as I'm a lowly paid Nissan Mechanic.

If you know this person or are in contact with him, just let him know I'm a fellow SAU member/driver and in need of a turbo asap or PM me with details!

Thanks SAM

Paypal is good some times.

In this case, you should be covered, but yeah, just escalate as soon as you can.

You created the dispute, I believe there is like a 7 day or 10 day grace period before you can escalate.

As long as you're 100% in the right and he hasn't got proof of postage, you'll get your money back.

Whatever you do though, make sure its all good before you escalate, as if he shows proof and somehow gets the dispute closed (no money to you). You wont be able to open a dispute again and if he didn't post, you get nothing again.

No post mark on ebay and no tracking number?

Did he say he posted it? Or just no communication?

If he has a receipt, that may be good enough to say it was posted. Especially if it has your postcode on it. As most post office do print the postcode.

Postal mark on ebay still unchecked and messaged me on 23/02 stating hasn't posted yet but will asap, no messages since.

Paid $35 for AusPost Parcel with tracking and signature - Within 4-9 business days inc. handling time.

what Owgasm is trying to say is he still might have proof of purchase. So don't worry about what is or isn't checked on ebay. .

was it paid from a credit card? if so, there's another avenue to dispute with your bank even if paypal says no, you can just say goods/services not received.

if you just need the car back on the road etc, and you have a young family as you say (so tight budget)... why not just get a stock second hand turbo? should be cheap as

Started paypal claim last week and still no answer from seller, paypal stated if no answer after 10 days will refund money.

My daily is a bit past a stock turbo, RB30DET, hi mount, bla bla bla

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
