Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if you could help me out please.

Recently I transferred money (22/04/2009) to Jess R33 for a PFC and HC post link is:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Po...55#entry4564955

After many PMs back and forth, with the last being Friday evening (24/04/2009) she said that she would post it Saturday.....

Since that PM I haven't heard from her despite sending her several PMs as well as posting twice on the thread.

I am worried that I have lost my money....and not really sure what to do

All I know, besides her bank details, which I won’t put on this thread are:

Name: Jessica

Lives in Rockhampton

Drives a maroon R33

Also selling an Apexi AVCR on a different thread....

Does anyone on this forum or who lives in Rockhampton know her? Can anyone offer any suggestions or help me please?

I really do hope that this is just a misunderstanding and a PM appears tomorrow (or better the PFC arrives) but I am losing hope.....

Thanks,

Peter

Thanks for the support and advice guys. Apologies for the link, this one should work....

Stll hoping for a PM or parcel from her....

Forever optimistic!

Pete

Just a FYI....

Hi adrian_r34 or should I say Jess R33,

It’s quite amusing how similar the both of you are:

adrian_r34 joined 24/04/2009

Jess R33 joined 20/04/2009

Jess R33 has an Apexi Power FC with HC to sell….from her Series 1 R33 which was recently “EPA’d”

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Po...96#entry4545796

and so do you from your recently “upgraded” Series 1 R33 to a 34gtt

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pa...17#entry4553917

Jess R33 was also speaking of selling her standard r33 gtst series 1 driver’s seat in the same post

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Po...96#entry4545796

and you….well…. you were quite interested in seats too….

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Se...52#entry4554152

BUT the part that seals the deal for me is that the two of you have the same IP address…..

So….I think you need to have a little think, speak to your housemate (who you posted also has a R33)…..and let me know what you want to do…via post or PM…

What I would like is my $1200 back ASAP.

I will be contacting the police as well as DOCEP (Department of Consumer Protection) if you don’t get back to me.

Peter

I live in Rockhampton Mate. If you get in contact with her, be sure to get an address. Tell her not to bother posting and I will go pick it up for you.

Good luck anyway! There are a few burgundy R33s in town, but none I know are owned by a Jess that I know of.

Hey Guys,

Just gunna wade into this issue here..

FYI..

If you provide the bank account details to the police they will subsequently issue the bank with a legal request order for the owners personal information and either pop in to have a chat or give the owner a call.

They usually do this fairly quickly as it doesnt take long to request the info then make a phone call.

This is my housemates profile and he and I both work in banking.

For what its worth between the IP information and the bank account details tracking them down would be very simple.

Hopefully they are reading this thread and will pull there head out there bums.. hopefully there is a legitimate reason behind the delay.. which does happen.

Good luck with the search.

Contact me if you want any banking specific direction to deal with the money part of it. Your institution may be able to put a fraud request/claim through to the other bank.

Cheers,

T

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the support and advice - I'm having it looked into at the moment - so I'll let you know how it goes when it's resolved.

Cheers,

Peter

This smells fishy to me..

If you do get to the bottom of this stuff, and it isnt a misunderstanding,

I think that the mods should ban this user/users, I know a few people in Rocky, I will be informing them of this scammer..

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
