Hey, i Brought a carbon fibre bonnet off them via e-bay on tuesday, and paid through pay pal that night. Got a message from them today saying they recieved payment and will send the bonnet courier monday morning. I was a bit cautious at first due to no feedback on e-bay, but hopefully i'll recieve the bonnet, Cheers shane.

Anyone got more information on these guys?? was supposed to have the bonnet delivered this morning by a "private courier" but nothing has showed up. He's not replying to e-mails or picking his phone up, which is weird because before payment he would reply within a few minutes, Cheers shane.

yeah i am like shaneo, i actually contacted shaneo through e-bay to see if he had recieved his bonnet. As i "purchased" a veilside kit and 2 carbon bonnets from him for $1349 (which yes seemed stupidly low, as i was just about to buy a kit only from carmate for $1630. But as he said he was an importer of them. He also old me that he got them shipped out from his supplier in Adelaide, and then sent out Direct. It has gotten to the point where he has now disconnected his mobile, and as shaneo found out his bogus contact details through e-bay lead you to phoning a Pizza Shop.

I am going to the cops today, so if anyone else has had a run in with him, please contact me with your contact number and we will make complaints to the police in a group.

for anyone interested the information i have on him is(not allot):

[email protected]

E-mail name was Darren Pan

Account name to deposit into was

Darren Saban with the commonwealth bank

his mobile up till now was: 0401760403

claimed he was jspec pty ltd ABN 54 122 706 076

which obviously exists, Look this guy is a major crook, and we must stop him.

Yeah i lost $1350, and i really am not that fussed if i get it back, as long as this piece of shit goes down.

anyone with any information please contact me!!! or shaneo!!!

Just a quick reply, we have had a 7th victim of this con-man come forward, and he was ripped off over $1800 outside of e-bay. but we now believe we have the scum bag. So Yay for us little guys for a change. and i hope the cops will screw him in the ass.

Guess this is the major reason people should stick to those who have a good rating... The person mentioned they used paypal should be protected by them? isnt that the whole idea behind using them?

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
