yeah i always see that blue one, from what i heard its been flogged...

i see that yellow one with the back bonnet, and it sounds rough as too,.. my mates refer to him as the person in wuestion but i never knw.

The cars not stolen. And it was just resprayed to yellow with the black bonnet. The blue one is a different one...but 13500 is abit rich for any cefiro in my opinion, cause that blue one looks like its got a fmic, big chromies and a new paint job and then the guy is gonna flog it off using its looks only.

i know both Phil and the guy that is selling the blue cef. To claim phil's is stolen is ridiculous, i think in 3.5 years of owning it and having a lot of police attention they might have picked up it was stolen if indeed it was. And saying that he is scamming people on ebay again is utter bullshit. Some people just jump to conclusions too quickly.

Tangles: i believe you spoke with Phil and have your tracking number now, correct?

True, then I retract my statement. Either way, you cant expect people to trust this person after some of the stuff he has done in the past.

Yes, he might of changed, but when what looks like the same thing is happening then how can you blame people for jumping to conclusions.......?

True, but i was more getting at people on ebay jumping up and down when their purchase doesn't arrive within a few days. i know i have had to wait a few weeks for things to be delivered from down south and even longer from Japan.

No mate, Im jumping up and down because I dead-set feel as if Ive lost my money. I dont think Ive jumped to conclusions - Ive got a brain, a fairly smart one too thank god, so it seems pretty obvious whats going on.

FYI - no, I dont have a tracking number, Ive asked and asked for one, its been "promised" etc etc, just hearing the time-old excuse that Fidel has used before - it was sent, returned as address wasnt correct (wtf?), there are photos of the receipt (I gladly provided my mobile number), and again I have asked for the tracking number and the courier company name.

Its EXTREMELY frustrating when a heap of emails go un-answered, there is a lot of negative feedback lately on the ebay account; some of that is very concerning regarding an alleged stolen car, and then there is the previous criminal fraudulent history, the fraudulent activities and consequent bannings on SAU and other performance car sights etc etc etc.

Put 2 & 2 together - WTF am I meant to think ????

The sellers involved have my contact details - and they have my money. All I want is the said turbo.

:(

PM sent shaneo81.

Just wondering now why you assume Ive received a tracking number?

Do you work with Phil at "kedrondrift" (changed name I see ?)................ I havent received shit. Been frustrating enough trying to get a response. All my info that Ive collected points to the fact Im being screwed-over, and I dont like that. :(

If Im wrong, I'll happily eat my words and repost nothing but praise and happy-goodness feelings etc etc etc., but my gut instict says Im not wrong.............. now, if these thread posts, my emails, my dealings with ebay, etc, help ensure that I get the turbo, then so be it.

As stated in my PM to you, I dont believe (at this stage) I have anything to apologise for. Id be happier if Im wrong tho. :(

ahah Fidel ay .. his a scammer alrite i know been there.. well people like him makes Enthusists look like "hoons" .. when the fat is not everyone with import is a hoon only a few minority are ... ....

Thing is, it was small time crime. Hes been to the big house. He really didnt enjoy it. I doubt he wants to go back. Why pull the same scam, when you know your going to get caught. The hoon stuff as well, the media has hammered him, I think Phill has worked it out.

And good luck to him for selling his cef for a bit of money!

dangerous_daveo I feel you are right........ Ive probably let myself down with my conduct. :)

.... its just that, on my side of the fence, being a very honest and trusting person (probably under stress too with my pain & finance situations) - after reading all the info I found, Ive probably put 2+2 together and got it wrong ie, good price, still on car, unknown condition, extra payment for rego'd-post, multiple feedbacks on ebay after the sale, info on previous trade history, loss of contact, SAU info Ive received, etc.

Phil's contacted me multiple times now and assured that the turbo has been sent, so I believe we may have sorted out my misunderstanding........... I wish to take this opportunity to apologise for any undue stress I may have caused.

Seems to me that everyone deserves more of a fair go with their 2ndchance, so to Phil; I hope you get that, again my apologies if I have caused trouble by my reckless comments. I hope I can rectify that by my sincere apologies.

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
