Has anyone got any more details about this person?

He took $400 from me for a PS3 on boostcruising.

Have you had any help from the mods on that particular forum?

When I alerted some mods via PM about one of his (then newly posted) ads on there, I got absolutely no response at all.

And last time I looked, that ad were still there, only now you can read posts from ppl who have since been ripped off.

None of the above helps you very much, and I really do hope you manage to get your money back (if not punish the bastard)... but it just cheeses me off that forums like that do not seem to be policed a little better.

Nah mate, not much help.. After a couple weeks they gave me IP details and other names used, but he is still active and trading under other names (they know this).

The name on there I did business with was skyRIDER.

I recommended people forward their experience onto the Fraud squad. with all documents of proof (I will post details up soon).

surley there is someone out there in the banking, ISP or phone business who can assist to track this person down. Please PM me, all information strictly kept confidential. no police involved.

That really isnt good at all :)

Being a mod can be a thankless task etc etc - but if a mod isnt willing to make the effort - especially on something serious like this - then don't be a mod any more I say.

At least you got some cooperation I suppose... good luck with it mate, keep posting about it here and there as often other people have come across the same guy elsewhere and can help join the dots.

Looks like I just saved myself $180 because I read a post on Usenet (not even a web based forum) about somebody with a particular bank account ripping people off, not car related at all. So it all helps.

Touch wood in my hundreds of online deals I havent been ripped off - yet!

Good luck!

I think I have just been ripped off by this guy too. Bought an iphone from him on Boostcruising and never received it. I googled his phone number and it came up with this thread.

His details are:

Account No: 220715, BSB: 032349

Name: Jake Romano

He says he is in Adelaide but his account suggests NSW.

If anyone has a address for this guy or any details let me know, hope we catch this guy.

i find this funny the moderators dont want a vigilanty group to go to this guys house but they wont assist the police in their investigations....these are your members and your essentially protecting a pos who has ripped off numerous people :cheers:

and thumbs down to the cops quick to do you for speeding or something wanky like not indicating when changing lanes but when it comes to something where they cant make money suddenly theirs nothing they can do about it or its a waste of resources

I think the mods here are much like the cops, they say they will do something but really dont give a shit, there is also a known bad traders thread which i believe is ONLY there to cover sau's arse so at the end of the day they can say they do something about fraudulent activities on this forum but at the end of the day since they never update it then its as usefull as tits on a bull.

its not even as if they need to do much to at all, after all i know me and candy33 have msg'd mods about the guys that have ripped us off and im guessing everyone else has as well.

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.

      So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By LaurelPWR · Posted

      Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power.

      By juanX · Posted

      I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
