gm747 is a scammer

Hey Guys, I've looked and can not find where I'm suppose to post this but feel free to move it to the correct section. 

To start GM747 is a thief and scammer, I found his advertisement on SAU selling ID2000 injectors.

Heres a link to his thread.  You can see in the pictures he claims they are genuine ID injectors not Bosch and confirms when I message him they are ID injectors in 100% working condition with only dyno time. Then as you will see in the pictures he send me they also do not come with the Injector extension and also damaged!!

He then goes on to tell me in his AD he said they were not included and after I proved to him they were not ID injectors since there is no stamping he trys to tell me they are a BOSCH injector and he never said there and Injector Dynamics. Even though he already told another member they are not bosch and genuine ID. Please ban this member as hes trying to sell a plazaman manifold for $2000 and thats even more to loose out on them I already am.

Ok, so, because of the nature of these complaints, I always have to play devil's advocate. So, believe me when I say I am not taking any sides.

I have a single question - Do you have evidence of the seller confirming to you that they are genuine ID and not Bosch? 

We have a no-editing policy in the classifieds for this reason, people can't change what they've advertised. 
So, in the thread, I see;
* gm747 offering ID2000 injectors - "Also have id2000 injector $500" - I do note that the user offers ID2000.
* The question from R32GOJIRA "Are they genuine IDs?" goes unanswered.
* I see nothing else confirming / denying or questioning the authenticity of the injectors.

With that in mind, can you show me explicitly where the user confirms they are genuine ID?

There is a grey area here in that Injector Dynamics are modified Bosch injectors so all ID are Bosch but not all Bosch are ID.

Buy from a trusted supplier like Scotty!

Oh, that helps me a bit, I wasn't aware of the difference.

Gm747 says after r32gojira's question ,"Yes e85 compatible, only done dyno time have been cleaned and checked and are genuine IDS, set of 6 suite 14mm rail, have plugs no adapters but can get them if needed."

I personally would take that as confirmation they are genuine.

when did you receive the picture of the injector? before or after the purchase   

Hope you get it sorted, i know it's not the injectors fault in your case but I'm very suss on used injectors and or cheap ones. Buy new and from a trusted seller.

Oh cool. I missed that. I must have read all the images 10 times, not sure how it got past.

Thanks for clarifying. 

Thanks for the replies guys, I hope paypal can see through and get it sorted out. But like Kiwi said Bosch sell there base injectors which ID(injector dynamics) takes and modify. He even said he would refund me if Im not happy that there bosch and not ID2000s and then when I said I would like that he said no and that I cant prove there ID injectors:ermm:

All IDs are supposed to be dyno tested, cleaned and matched so when he says they have only had dyno time then that is new spec which cost about AU $1870 odd. How much did you pay? Was it $500? If so that is Bosch price so you have been misled but not necessarily "ripped off". However I agree you should be entitled to return them for your money back as they were not as advertised.

Just to clarify a few things..I advertised ID2000 Injectors that I purchased from eBay and at the time of my purchase they were also advertised the same way. I have never misled or given false information regarding what I was selling and was very forthcoming and helpful in providing all the information and pictures that were requested by GarettH. After he put the money into my paypal account and agreed to purchase them he then asked me to send him pictures of the injectors. After he received the pictures he them questioned if they were injector dynamics injectors. After seeing the pictures and that they were not what he was after he requested a refund. However, I never once mention in my advertisement or messages that they were injector dynamic injectors and told him that if he can show me in any of our messages or advertisement that I claimed this I would be more than happy to refund his money. As you can see in the messages that he has posted it shows that nothing has been mentioned about injector dynamics or extensions/adapters. Someone else asked a question in the forum about whether extensions/adapters were provided and I responded to their enquiry telling them clearly that they're not. They were advertised as ID2000 and he paid the right money for ID2000, not injector dynamics that are twice the price. As I told him if he can show me proof in any of the messages text or forum that I claimed that they are not Bosch or even mention that they are injector dynamics I would be more than happy to refund him his money. If he was looking for a specific product then he should have asked the questions and requested pictures before he paid for the goods. 

"ID" signifies Injector Dynamics so in a way it is a misleading ad. Bosch injectors aren't all ID's. Injector Dynamics pretty much just flow match them to a finer margin than Bosch do. They would buy 100, and group them into 4, 6 and 8 to be within whatever percentage they claim.

It may not have be an intentional misrepresentation but it is still an inaccurate description. 

As always its buyer beware and all research should be done prior, not post handover of money.

My personal belief is you should refund the money less $50 or so to cover postage and the stuff around and sell them again without any mention of ID in the ad.  They're just Bosch 2000cc injectors. Which are $650 brand new if you look around a bit...

Spoken like a true scammer, just give the man the money back.

Thanks you guys might I add that he offered to refund me the money back first and when I asked he then proceeded to say he would not do it. The item has not even been shipped yet, so If hes not a scammer I dont know why it would be such a big deal to refund me when I'll already be loosing 3.5%x2 transactions so 6% in paypal fees for false advertisement/my fault for not getting pictures first.

FWIW, SAU has no power over this. I can PM him and ask him to take the return but if he doesn't do it, we have nothing more we can do.

I know SAU has no power over this and it's In Paypal's hands now. Can there be nothing done about him false advertising and such. He has a plazama manifold/throttlebody for sale also for $2500 I'd hate to see someone have to send him that much money and then deal with paypal for possibly 30+ days to get money back.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
