Contact ebay and tell them the full story...

Have heard of this happening before and ebay basiclly investigates and bans them from using their username and if they do it again and again they block the users permentlly (to sell you need to put down a credit card or a home address.) Either way report it to ebay....

what if the car is not in workin order or has faults or other problems??

worth checkin car in person, before biddin on an item..

Have you paid the amount already??

But contact ebay on your situation tho..

ouch 21 grand for that? $13,500 is probably closer to what it's worth. I saw an auction for this same car end a couple of hours ago, and it finished at $16,500 or something like that, with the reserve met.

Yeah, it's a legally binding contract. But if his details are dodgy, it won't matter. And when you consider how easy it is to create accounts on eBay and bank accounts with false details, it's a real jungle out there...

If I was buying something like a car, I would want the address where the car is for inspection and registry check before anything else. I've had a few poor encounters with eBay members myself, including still waiting on a high flow cat from a certain seller...

Just remembered with car sales on ebay...

They dont have to sell the car at all if;

1. Its sold out of a yard

2. Its advertised in newspapers

3. It has a private deposit on it

4. The sellers make up one of the above 3 reasons...

Anyways you report it to ebay and ebay contact him and he says i own a car yard and someone has come in and out a deposit on this car therefore he cannot sell it and thats the end of it.... However you must complain cause if he keeps doing it then he will be get banned.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
