Guys,

i know this may not be the right place, but gotta let this go where it may affect people.

Do not buy anything off a member by the name of SACRA

He told me i could pay half up front and half later.

he scammed me $350

This happened last week.

I finally got his real name and I have my mates in the force supplying me with his address tomorrow.

Anybody else been scammed by him let me know, ill be happy to get your money back too, when I fly to wherever he may be.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks for the heads up, sorry to hear :huh: I really hope you can get your money back somehow, maybe have a mod post this as an annoucement because another Forum member posted something about this user in the Queensland section (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=130380).

This is what stops other people from buying parts, because people lie and scam on the Internet, SAU is the best place for us (people who like Skylines) and a place where we can get good cheap parts, hope you get the problem sorted along with all the other people scammed by this user.

I think it may be a good idea for traders/buyers to "register" details before any money is transacted. I know that whenever I sell stuff of "considerable value" I am providing all my details before the buyer even asks.

totally agree with satanic on this one. I was gonna suggest members can only trade (i know i know, i aint a member yet), but satanics idea is much better....

EDIT - i meant to say i am not an official SAU member yet (i.e i havent paid my m/ship fees etc)

I tried to warn the modorators a few weeks back with a pm. There are lots of scamers who use Alice Springs as a location, there not going to get any one going to pick stuff up. So check where they recon there located.

I was looking at a RSM he had and was wary of him for this reason initialy and would only deal with him via COD with Aust Post. He was pushing for $$$ first and would not concider COD. That is when I warnd a mod about him.

Did anyone sell him anything? he did post on some for sale stuff.

if you do a search, he has posted on some stuff that was for sale - actually maybe like 1 thing. I am always skeptical when it comes to buying stuff online (specially on forums) and this is the reason why...stupid idiots who want to find an easy way of making money..... :rolleyes:

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.

      Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.

      Are you talking about the oil squirters? There is only one place for them to go. Yes, you have to drill the holes. Yes you have to obtain the correct oil squirters (I presume there is some sort of aftermarket option available, because original turbo ones are going to be a diminishing resource).

      I thought you didn't let mechanics, especially those with no idea, work on your car any more? Wouldn't that mean it won't be an issue in your case?
