Also some credit cards (VISA I know) can refund you the money themselves.  They then take it back off the entity that charged you forcing them to prove their claim.

 

Dunno how it would work with Paypal though.

That's right. Ferni, you should be OK if you paid via credit card. Dunno about INASNT though?? it's going to be hard proving you Bluetoothed 20G's to someone's account... maybe tell them you SMS'd the money intead, that should work :D .

tridentt150v: thanks, but i don't think my case is serious enough for that.

There is someone else who has pm'd me who got ripped by a bit more and has been in contact with a few different NZ authorities... i'll suggest it to him, thanks.

thanks meshmesh, I will try my CC company.

OK, but I would look at it like I was doing other 'would be suckers' a favour. Remember, the more complaints ahtcc get, the more likely they are to act and close this A*#@eh0le down. It just might save someone else from being 'had', look at it like its your good turn for the day.

Yeah i am definatly chasing it - not to get my money back just to get this prick ....

Just don't think ahtcc will look at my petty case, but your right the more they have against him the more htey will do - the other guy that pm'd me i offered that whoever takes on his case i will contact them and tell them my story to, so they know its not just a 1 off case

If you payed by credit card you are 100% fine.

Beleive it or not but you can dispute a credit card payment up to 12 months later. They will reverse the payment straight away and the funds will be removed from his account.

The credit card company will make the person who received the money prove the transaction is not fraudlulent to get there money back, not make you prove it to get your money. They would rather look after you as you are there customer.

Does anyone know what his name is. Sorry to say i think its kind of stupid to trust someone that you do not know. I only work Cash on delivery so i know i cant get screwed. Still that guy needs to be kiked in the arse for all this shit, he will get whats coming to him, dont worry!

Well the paypal transaction i used my credit card, it got taken out about 9-10days ago... I wasn't sure if i could do that.. i guess i can try - has anyone done it before?

Credit card transactions usually have some insurance attached....don't know if it coveres this though. However an e-mail to your credit card provider with full details of the situation could possibly result in them getting your money back, but do it now don't lose any more time

i paid a guy in brisbane via direct transfer.

ripped off to the tune of $1100.

sent me a worn standard clutch and some bogus midsection exhaust, for what was meant to be a hks twin and nismo front pipes.

contacted the brisbaine police computer crimes investigtion unit.... they approached this maggot face to face, he lied stating that it was his house mate and he has shot threw. police ring me to say "tuff titties". :D

someone should find out were these ****ers live

not exactly relevent

but a little story of my own :D

at my old work this guy used to come around and be pretty friendly and anyway was gonna sell us these mini discs from his friend at sony we were dumb and all paid like 500 each for like 1000 dollar machines...

never saw him again

but anyway one day

at my last job (working at a juice bar :) yes i know (like boost for those who dont know) anyway i was a team leader there, anyway the fat **** theif was all hot and sweaty n shit and he came for a drink and i barred him and told him to bring the mini discs first lol

he said all this shit pretending not to know what imt alking about and said his gonna get me fired and got the head office phone number...

never heard shit about it :rant:

sweet little revenge :rant:

ferni contact paypal and lodge a payment dispute form. Its actually quite effective. I've bought a couple of things off ebay from shonky dealers who either sent me pirated crap or nothing at all. One quick letter to paypal and 5 days later I have my entire amount back, no questions asked. They're awesome. If paypal fails, then you can get your bank to reverse the charge. That is if you have credit insurance.

Yeah, I thought there was a little bit of security when dealing with Paypal/Escrow. Hope you get your cash back Ferni. Reading through the NS.co.nz site is quite horrific - I remember when the Ray Mullany deal was going on, and I thought it all passed... I hope that snowboard I bought on eBay is going to come my way! :D

with COD you have to pay and sign before Aus post will hand you the parcel. What happens when you open it to find a housebrick?

funky - i lodged the paypal claim thursday, haven't heard anything yet but we'll see...

As for COD, i got a clutch COD'd the other day, picked it up i asked if i could inspect it first she said no...

it was fine - got it in today, all working fine :)

From a sellers point, I don't totally trust COD. I've sent stuff COD and then the idiot at the other end - the buyer who wanted the stuff in the first place - didn't collect. This means that the goods are sent back to me and I have to pay postage and charges and no sale. I now prefer direct deposit, or a direct deposit part payment and then COD for the rest.

Note that this sort of thing happens, not all the time, but it happens.

I've also tried to inspect COD packages prior to paying for them, and was told you can't. You should be able to, but the APO is just piggy in the middle and they won't play.

That happeneed to me a few years ago when i got a safc cod'ed to me. When i went to pick it up the box looked abit small so i asked if i could check what it was but a biach at aus post said no, so i said fine send it back i am not paying for something i dont know what is and started an argument with her when the post office was preety busy. Her manager heard and came over and let me check what was inside, and luckly i did coz it was some ***ing autometer boost gauge not a safc, so i sent it back to the guy who posted it and rang him up asking wtf he was trying to pull. He said he had sent the wrong thing to me and the safc was sent to sydney or sum crap and he said he would send it back and make a note that i was allowed to check the parcel before payment.

A week later i went back to same post office, checked before i payed and it was infact a safc this time.

yeah i'm guessing if i kicked up a stink they would of let me check... i didn't because i already had some trust for the guy sending it to me,,, and he didn't rip me off luckly :(

now for this graeme fckwit, if i get my hands on him...

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
