Hello

The price for buy it now is $15.000.

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.

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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
