You need to look at their feedback and their standing etc. If they have been paid up a member of SAU or some similar club for a few years and people know them and can vouch for them. Even then it is still not without risk. If you are still unsure, ask them to list them on ebay with a buy it now option and use paypal.

If ever unsure, walk away. You could also try buying from a business, but even thats no gaurantee.

Otherwise you have to drive across this big brown land and do it face to face.

Had a issue once. Failing to keep up his end of the bargain

Googled his phone number. Found other items he was advertising.

Got the girlfriend to call and pretend to be interested. Got an address.

Silly boy.

Sorry but this isn't going anywhere, and no-one here can help.

Contact the Police, they are your only real option.

In the future, do not blindly EFT money to someone that you have not seen/known. That's just silly.

I mean would you walk upto someone random person in the street and give them $500 and tell them to give you something in a week - when you have NO other details? Sounds kinda silly now doesn't it? As that's exactly what you have done.

End of the day, buyer beware. Bet you are kicking yourself for not driving 2 hours.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
