9000 just for the head and can start adding parts from there. if it doesnt sell for what i want ill just keep it and take my time doing it.. but feel free to make offers on the hole lot but wont be selling the other parts untill the head sells

I ended up buying and receiving this head from Neville. I've attempted to leave feedback, but something's gone wrong with the feedback system. I thought I'd put a post in here to give people a heads-up.

I received the built head in a few Corona boxes with the cams torqued down and valves extended [and unprotected]. Upon further inspection, I found that the incorrect cams were included in the head, and the clearances were dangerously out. Neville was initially responsive, stating that he would cover the costs of having the proper cams purchased and installed. After I'd had the work done, Neville stopped replying to my emails, sticking me with a $1200 bill. I've dropped him about a dozen emails, PMs, and a payment request. It's a shame; this is the first time I've ever been hosed by a forum purchase. Unfortunately recourse is difficult for me being overseas.

So tread lightly with this one in the future.

Shit mate :(

Guy must be hard up for money. Sad that people push their problems onto other people.

I've had mostly good experiences on the forums, but I think I have been lucky. It's the 1 in 50 bad transactions that stick out the most. Spending this much on gear I'd wanna fly there first too, but understand you're overseas in which case it's a risk you take :(

Hope you get it sorted. Was the other gear all there and legit?

Yeah, the rest of the gear was there. The shims were buggered though... tolerances were tight enough that on some valves I couldn't even get my thinnest feeler gauge in there. If I hadn't checked, I would've snapped the cams on first startup. 

Hopefully he ends up reaching out to me. If he needs time that's fine... it's just hard when somebody disappears on you and leaves you footing the bill.

I've bought probably a hundred items on web forums. Numerous cars, motors, bodywork, wheels, all manner of parts... you name it. And most of it internationally, given the nature of the cars I focus on. This is the first one that's bit me. Ah well. Hopefully I won't need to reach out to his bank. :/ 

Zero trader rating and only one post.......not a good start tbh.  And sympathy to you Brook......its always a hard call, to buy or not to buy - the extension of trust to a stranger.

Good luck with it, hope you get some satisfaction.  If you paid by Credit Card you can claim it back from your bank?

Have u spoken to management of SAU ? Perhaps they might be made aware if not already. Im sure all the people involved here will do their best to help you. Unfortunately a reminder to everybody to remain dilligent. Good luck man

    • 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.
