Edited by mattis96

I never got his name - I just checked his mobile number against the scammers list.

Hey

I'm sorry I can't help out with any other scams, but if you feel as though you have been scammed by "HO YOUNG" - see Ash's post in this link for relevant details

If any of the info match this description, there is already a case filed against this man. The police force has told me that this particular person has already done jail time in the past, and is now repeating as he sees this is an easy way to make cash. The best way at the current time to show this guy a lesson is to file a legal statement to the police. If you would like the details of the particular officer, please PM me. She is taking the case very seriously and wishes to bring us back justice. All that is involved is you will be asked to submit your story and sign it. These files will be filed towards the QLD police who will ask him to stand in court. If that fails, it becomes a civil matter. At this point (as I already said in my other post), I will be happy to bring my lawyers in and absolutely rape this guy - force him to sell this damn children to reimburse all that have been cheated.

But your part will be to file those reports :)

I lost half my lunch all over my desk thanks to that line. Well played.

glad it all worked out for u in the end mate. But I do hear your pain about being scammed/duped into handing over money and never receiving the goods.

What I would like to propose to the moderators (from experience on the g35driver.com forums) is that on each ad placed in the "for sale" forum that it is mandatory to place a picture of the item with a placard displaying the forum members user-id and current date. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, but something in whiteboard marker on an A4 placed next to the item and a photo taken so it clearly shows both the item and seller details.

That way ppl can't grab pictures over the internet and claim to possess the items for sale. Sure they will be ppl saying well you can photoshop the details on the photo...but its more a deterent to scammers

Well looks like i totally missed this thread, serves me right for going interstate for a week.

Was wondering how on earth this thread got to 3 pages in the last 24hrs without me noticing.

I echo Blitz statement earlier.

I've spent at LEAST 30hrs in the last 6 months helping users who have been scammed. SAU doesn't have to help - but we try our best within the laws of this country.

Have some respect but more importantly - ensure you engage the brain before you hit "send" on the EFT. We can't save you from yourself.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
