There's only one D SHAW in Sydney;

361 Kent St
Sydney NSW 2000
(02) 9279 0787
I doubt that's a match though - that's a pretty expensive apartment building by the looks of it.

With the BSB being the CBA in Martin Place....it does add up though

thats how things are bought online lol

That's how people get scammed and why sites like this are full of scammers taking advantage of that mentality.

Use PayPal or COD if you can't see the goods in person. Criminals and honest folk dress the same.

Whilst i get your point, it's not that easy with online sales.. paypal is useless and in my 3 disputes (fake items, items not showing up) they have never returned my money even with their your covered policy. and COD is just not always available.. It's just the way of the internet..

Sorry to hear for the OP.

It's not the way of the internet at all. If it's not safe, simply don't do it...or be prepared to lose your cash. Like I said it is this complacency that makes this place such an easy target for scammers.

I've never had those issues with paypal. I've given them records of PM conversation and they've asked sellers for postage tracking numbers and I've been able to resolve every case I've ever opened. PayPal is usually enough to scare away most scammers. In any case, it affords you that extra protection over and above a bank deposit. You can also make the seller put up an eBay listing so you can see their feedback...I don't know of anyone who doesn't have access to an eBay account these days.

Fake items might be hard to prove, but that can happen in real life transactions too. This is about the goods never turning up at all. Just because transferring money blindly to someone online may be the only way to buy something off someone, does not mean you should necessarily buy it. People get so desperate for the parts they are chasing, that when they spot a good deal, they put on blinders to how dangerous what they are doing is and sometimes end up still without the part and minus a lot of money.

It really is the internet equivalent of some random guy in a carpark offering you electrical goods and you giving him your cash and saying can you come back next week with the goods. How often do you think that guy is gonna turn up?

Have some patience and take some precautions people - in 90% of scamming cases I see on here, both of these are missing from the buyer.

thanks for the support guys!!

I have some people on the right side getting more info on this guy. I have 150 cousins in sydney (really).

three of them are c#ps

who ever owns that account, is going to cry

They still need to be discreet until they can draw definitive evidence.

Requires lots of Qs + the right Qs + collate corroborative data.

Might take a while.

You deposited funds into a random person's bank account before receiving the item?

You would send out parts to a random person before receiving payment?

Just saying.

No I'd use PayPal or the many methods of doing it safer that I've already mentioned. No wonder scammers succeed with idiots like you around.

Just saying.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
