Hey guys,

Bought r34 Headlights off this guy. Have not recieved after a month. Does not answer his phone or reply his pm's.

Warning to other ppl on this forum.

He usually looks for ppl who post in the WTB section.

I was a bit suspicious of him, so i only bought one side for 350 and it never turned up.

its always the people who drive crappy cars who stick their mouth in to crudely insult someone whos been unfortunate.

definitely only buy from members who have a high post count, over 200 preferable or COD.

Yawn - your getting boring now you know?

wat sort of protection are you talking about here nismoid?

Don't EFT money to someone you don't know.

Simple as that. Use COD, escrow service or someone in that state that's a trusted forum member to go pick it up for a slab or something.

Plenty of other options

You wouldn't give some random on the street $500 on the 'promise' they will come back with whatever they are selling.

So why do it over the internet? It just doesn't register with me at all

I see complaints pop into my PM box weekly, and 99 out of 100, the buyer didn't protect themselves one iota...

All they do is EFT'd money and relied one someone's good will over the internet :)

nobody likes to see a bloke 'scammed' but to call this incident "unfortunate" is drawing a long bow. Thrustt sent money into the ether to a seller that he thought was "suspicious". I agree with Mr Nismoid, there are better/safer ways to do business.

r31 gts-r a crappy car? More a collectors item now...

... not too mention more heavily modified and in better nick than most people's newer models. The bloke who posted that might want to do some more investigation in future.

Look im not saying transfers are bad, you just have to be selective with the people you do it with.

Get them to scan thier license and email it through, or other types of ID.

Whilst this might tick the buyer off, if they genuinely want to sell thier item legitimately there shouldnt be too much of an issue.

We i know even ID's can be chopped etc.

I just hate people being ripped off over the internet when there are such simple ways to avoid it from the outset as i see it too often.

I even have had friends dicked by doing silly things, where as ive never had one bad thing in all the years...

cheers for the heads up dude. were you actually thinking he was dodgy and is that the reason why you only planned to buy one at a time?

and yeh the R31 GTS-R won the australian supercar series in 86 and 87. never won a bathurst but yeh these race spec cars had 550hp. in this trim would still blow away a lot of the V8 supercars today. they are definitely not to my taste either but they still hold an important place in history.

I have 16 for sale.. $200 each, sorry no pics they are at my grandmothers sisters house and my camera was leant to a girl scout last week so i don't have it. Also i don't have a license, my address is a PO BOX and my mobile number changes weekly because i have a male stalker that likes my defined calves. If you want my mates my bank details let me know! Cheers. :P

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
