can someone please call a translator?

why does he insisit on calling it goods? he sounds mighty dodgy. removing ur ad would most likely result in you having to put it back up again, coz he can't be serious. is he not in australia?

whats up with ppl nowadays making offers on cars without even looking. too many joyriders and test pilots and not enough serious buyers out there....

The goods? what the hell is he buying? sounds like stock or something. Dont think you should accept a cheque either since he is overseas and once your car is on the boat and he cancels the cheque then you are left in a very bad situation. And why owuld he need your car "URGENTLY"? sounds like something fishy is going on. Just ignore his future emails because you dont want to get jipped.

yeh I won't remove the ad until money is in my bank, however, it resembles one of those scam e-mails like "you have won 20 million dollars just send me your details"..... I really think this is a scam and if it is I want to have some fun with him for being a di** and trying to rip me off.... :D

yeh I am more worried about sending him any more details... If anyone else out there has had an e-mail from him his address is [email protected]

yeh think it is probably best to ignore him although it is tempting to write back and tell him to get stuffed....

Man I would laugh if it is some rich arab sitting on an oil field and he is serious.... but not worth the risk....

That's what I thought when I was reading it. I would personally[and would recomend] that you don't give your details out on the net! so easy to get conned. I remember someone was posting up gtrs for 5K or something[i probably exaggerated, oh well] for sale, and this person had just copied pics of someone elses gtr from a website and put it on ebay. And they want you to put a deposit on it to their bank account so they know you are interested...

Although this is kinda the reverse, I dunno, I still probably wouldn't give out my bank details and address details or my name etc. to some stranger.

haha what an idiot..

tell him you want a deposit if you're gonna hold it for him, just as you would for an Oz buyer...if he wants the car so badly he should have no probs with that, but i bet you never see a cent from him :)

i mean CBD .. cash before delivery

but wouldn't that mean that i have to give him my bank details anyway?

Think i will leave it for now and see if he writes back if he does i will tell him that i have added more modifications and the car is now valued at $45 000 nah make that $65 000 then if he is still interested it means he is just after my details :);)

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
