Hello

Thank you for contact me and your interest in my Nissan Skyline GT-R.

the car is complied an registered in AU.

The price for buy it now is $15.000.

I would like a $3.000 deposit first then I'll send you the car and the balance must be paid in max. 1 week after you get the car.

I must inform you that currently I'm in Germany for a business and I need more money for that. This is the reason I want to sell this car.

I'm telling you I have other serious offers that I have to consider and I will make a decision regardig this sale of time and payment.

Let me know if you want to send you the payment details.

Get's dodgier by the minute.

Another guy on there (Roguepi is his ID) alsways has some absolutely awesome parts listed yet most of his auctions are cancelled at the last minute.

RougePI isnt dogey, so dont give people bad names, he cancels auctions sometimes when the item doesnt go high enough in value.

i sent him a message asking if i offered him $90,000 if he would cancel the auction and sell to me and asking for his banking details so i can wire the money to him.

Waiting for his reply and to see if if he gives me his name and details :(

try to get the location of the car... if he refuses to give one then get his details and report him

A cut and paste reply, that's the exact same email he sent to me.

Finishing auctions early if they don't get what you want is dodgy I'm afraid. Start it at a higher price, use buy it now or a reserve (where ebay still allows them). People are sitting there and bidding on parts they need or want only to find the bids cancelled and auctions closed. Let me tell you how quick his account would last if someone asked ebay to investigate why he had so many cancelled auctions. Don't want to give anyone a bad name if they don't deserve it. But what if I worded it as such "Don't bid on any good deals you find by a seller called RoguePi as he will only cancel the auction".

I got a reply

Let me tell you how I want to proceed.

-you put the money ($3.000) on any name you want and my address using a WU(Western Union) money order.

-you will use another name then mine so I can't pick up the money until you see the car.

-my address: Wurzburger Strasse 21

Hannover-Laatzen

Germany D-30880

-after you put the money on this address you give me these details:

-your address

-the sender name

-the receiver name

-the MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number)

-after I check the transfer and it's ok I'll give you the car address.

-after you see the car and you decide to buy it you go to WU and change the name you used for the receiver with my name so I can pick up the money.

-the rest of the money you can send it in max. 1 week after you get the car.

If you agree I'm waiting the details.

Regards,

Albert

Dodgy !!

:bs!:

So in other words after I've pocketed $3000 of yours, I'll supply you some fake address. By the time you get there, I'll be long gone. Why the hell couldn't he give you an address before you pay a deposit.

This is now becomming very amusing.

I got this picture of car domain on Monday, September 15, 2003, 8:05:30 PM.

Either this guys dodgy or he is a stupid bullsh*t artist

Funny how at Car Domain (here) there's the EXACT same photos. The location of this car is in America... Perhaps an e-mail to eBay might be in order.

I spent a few more minutes looking through the guestbook... here's something amusing:

I have run into this exact scam on eBay in regards to Plasma screens 18 months ago. EBay and Western Union were aware of it 2 years ago. Maybe someone should notify them of this particular example so they are aware it is still continuing.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
