hi ppls, recently bought some small goodies for my s15 off ebay. the trader seems respectable with 1000+ feedback and 99.8% rating. anyways, they said they sent the item and was signed and received. However, I never have signed for anything and definatly have not receive anything. we confirmed the address is correct.

Iam waiting for the fax with proof of delivery and signature, but my questions is how can I verify with the seller that the courier made a mistake ??

I was thinking just faxing them back some legal document with my real signature, would that work ?

Loge a dispute with EBay IMMEDIATELY!!

Ask for details of a tracking/shipping number, and once you've got that contact the courier and seek written proof re: the validity of the number.

I'm currently trying to resolve a similar dispute with a seller in the US and it's a bit of a hassle. But the earlier you get in the more likely you'll get something.

Generally a trader on ebay with that much feedback is not going to rip you.

Most likely they sent your item and the courier company has stuffed up.

The best thing you can do, as previously advised, is to open an 'items not received dispute' through ebay, gather the couriers details and contact them yourself. I wouldnt bother faxing them your signature, it wouldnt help at this stage.

Just curious, were the items sent from overseas or within Australia?

first try and get the dudes phone number and call him and also get the name of carier and ask the dude for the numbers of the item and complain their. and then follow with making a official complaint on ebay or threaten with that and legal action and he will start to get picutre u are seriuos. their is a way u can get some money you will have to read up about it

ye rang the seller and got the tracking number and run sheet for the day. called the courier company and found they sent to the wrong address! they misread the label the dumbasses. they say they will retrive the item and get it back to me....

what pisses me off is the person that got the package wasnt honest enough to say he wasnt expecting anything and just took the package.

if i find its being opened and tampered with i'll be pissed.

hell yeah- do something about it. it wasnt the sellers fault so dont give negative feedback. ive had that problem, goods arriving smashed due to poor packing. or damage not said in description. thats the thing about ebay, its not just and auction. its a gamble. but its good fun too. got to be real careful though.

Hi.

If the package has been opened and kept, report the recipient to Police, as they have committed theft. A person is obligated to make all efforts to return found / received items if there is a reasonable chance of the correct owner being identified.

Good luck.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
