I'm sorry to RoguePi if he is a real nice bloke, but 3 items I was bidding on all got cancelled right at the last minute. As for things with no reserve, put a higher price on them or use buy-it-now. Sorry but ending auctions early is both a bastards act and very much against ebay policy.

You know Ebay just got a new head of security for Australia. Alistair McGibbon - formerly of the federal police computer crime unit (high tech crimes it might have been called). Hes quite a good bloke so its probably worth sending him an email with this guys auction in it, including all the information gathered so far.

If anyone PMs me with a list of auctions and information you know so far I will send off an email and he can take some action.

I received a generic reply from eBay as soon as I posted to them. 1 hour later I had a personal reply from a staff member. They're looking into it.

The more people who complain/notify them and the more information provided, the safer it will be for all of us genuine eBayers.

Good work guys .. nice to see some good samaritans.. now all ya need to do is find the NOT so obvious scams hehe

but yeah INASNT - 90k the guy prolly has NFI and thinks you're trying to scam him haha

I sent him another email offering to open up a undiclosed account in a Caman Islands offshore holding company for him to make the $90,000 transaction, but no reply either, hahahaha :)

There was a new monaro up for grabs on ebay.  It had a start bid of $8000, the car is in tasmania but he was overseas.  He wanted a $3000 deposit before he let you see the car or gave you the address for it,  Another Scam!!

sounds like the same guy

Wow, look, another! He must be scamming some idiots if he keeps doing it! This one says it's 2002 model, didn't know they came out in a complete R33 bodykit?

SootyR32, I think you are more disappointed you didnt get your bargain price performance bits, rather than the fact he choses to cancel his auctions early. True, it should be offered at a higher price, or buy now option, but he may choose to set a lower price to get more people initially interested....No need to bad mouth somone if they chose to do things differently - even if they havent read the ebay rules....

That's not it at all. I looked at all the auctions he had listed (it was around 20) and only 3 hadn't been cancelled. Once again, I'm sorry to RoguePi and I don't mean any harm. But an auction is an auction. I never cancel mine unless there is a genuine reason. I think I've cancelled maybe 6 in 6 years out of aorund 400 items I've listed.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
