Like I have said before. The c**t is a dodgey prick. I'll PM you with contact details for him.

as for you mate... you told me you were buying my car if i remember correctly... you made it seem steve had sold my car on me..... read the engine numbers and everything....

you had stuffed up i had the rego papers in front of me when i was living in penola. i even went over there to melbourne to get a better picture of what was going on...... surprise surpise your doing it right here again... starting sh|T.

the car was sold... as i wanted it to be... but only after i had signed my rego papers over..... i think your problem is it wasnt sold to you......... and that would be the only reason your pissed off...

you were going around telling all your mates you were getting my 33 and sh|t... you got made a liar..... you made yourself a liar..... now you want someone to blame.... pretty immature for someone that goes to uni.... just like the rest of your mates ive found out.... yeah i know all about you and your little games... concidering i come for a totally differant state its sad i even found alot of stuff out about you.

Redback, you have got to be joking. You are in absolute denial. I went to check out the shell Steve was selling along with three of my mates, they can vouch for me. Two of them are on these forums. Everything seemed fine when I saw the shell. It had no engine. I was prepared to buy this shell and had a cheque made out to Steve a few days later. However, Steve seemed a bit too eager to sell it cheaply. I decided I would research it just in case, afterall this was a feg grand we were dealing with. Browsing through these forums I quickly discovered that the shell Steve was selling was your former car, still with all the green decals and fibreglass audio crap. So I added you to my MSN to see if I could find out more about this shell. To be continued...

he did say he was showing you that shell... and he told you that the one for sale was the same.... my shell sold for 12K..... that no were near what you were guna pay... he was gettign your shell from mildura which is were he was when you got ahold of my msn...... he came back with the shell..... maybe you should of visited him to clear things up... you werent dealing through me.....

either way the cars gone now.... what im getting at is steve just lost a son... no one here who hasnt lost there own child can say they know how he feels..... all i can say is give him and his wife sometime... i know if been a month or so but in the end this may not be what he wants to come back to.... he may not work with cars again.... pm me if any of you would like some contact details along wiht a reason.

cheers

Rick

After adding you, I gave you a rundown of the shell I went to see. I gave you a description, including chassis number, rego, colour, decals, previous engine numbet etc... You agreed it was your previous car. However, you had advised me that you had given the car to Steve to put a big hp engine in it, then Steve offered to have the car swapped for a GTR R33 Vspec, by a guy named Brian. I advised this can't be the case, as I was just checking out the shell with the intention of buying it. Steve had previous rego papers and everything. You then advised that you will contact Steve to find out what's going on. Steve informed you that, apparantly I was being shown an example of the car I was going to buy. That your car was being taken to get resprayed. Then, that Steve has a shell for me exactly the same as your car, but not yours. I then started telling you the car's details again, and you stopped validating my concerns. I decided that this is a load of crap, that I am not prepared to lose a few thousand to some dodgey prick who has someone elses car and is trying to offload it, and I cancelled the cheque I made to Steve the next day. Glad I did too, with all people I see getting scammed by this guy.

I'm not one to badmouth someone for no reason or cause trouble. I just don't like seeing people being screwed over for thousands of dollars. Hence, I've tried to warn people. Even one of my friends recognised that Steve was suss, and reported it to admin.

I don't know what you'r talking about being made a liar. First of all, I don't personally know you, nor do you me, or my mates. The mates that were with me, thought I was getting your car, they saw the cheque, and were prepared to go with me to give it to Steve. However, after I did some investigation, it was obvious I was definately not going to buy this car, hence had the cheque cancelled. I now have a legitimate R33. I am glad I didn't buy your car, and certainly not upset, so this is certainly not a vengeful response. I am not playing any games here. I am merely stating my observations and understandings of the business dealings I had with Skyline Steve.

Oh, btw, have you got your GTR yet Rick?

I've met Steve before too. Not really a lot of great stuff to say about him except he got my hopes up and it simply turned out to be nothing more than a complete pipe dream.

No different to any other tyre kicker wanting to buy my car except he spun his crap better than anyone else.

Que sera sera.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
