So let me get this straight,,,You are selling stuff HERE that you are still bidding for. Meaning that you actually don't own anything and may not even win . Is this correct???.

the newest form of making money now - sitting on your ass on yahoo auctions advertising shit that aint yours

- adz

I dont have any problem with ppl doing this, bu tbe up front about it, thats all. A friend was good enough to get me some parts for my car usign a contact in Japan, but he never represented that he owned parts that he didnt.

And looking at the auction price, you stand to make good money when you havent even put any of your own money on the line, and if yahoo auction falls over, what excuse would you offer them.

Best be up front:) Hell im happy to pay ppl for their time and trouble to bring parts in, picking up parts from customs for a friend i know the hassle....but better work on a commission should you win the auction isnt it...anyway, For Sale section is not for chatting so ...

Ebay's full of ads like this, you'll find most of em are only buy it now items (you can buy the turbos for 190,000Y or bid on em for 185,000Y) so if there's a registered interest the seller just pays the buy it now price and thus dosen't risk losing a sale or inflated prices.

andrew, I only need one, I was gonna post up the second one for sale once it got here... wanna go halvies?

Its about $2400 to buy in japan, and plus there's the agent commission of 10% and the internal shipping and also shipping to australia with customs etc, should see it landed for about $3000, so you can have one of em for half of that (around $1500). Sound fair to you?

sounds good. Things have come up though, it will have to be in a few months.

Its legal, but it might be against the forum rules.

The main moot point being that this person is selling items that are not his possession, which is against the forum rules. The admins are discussing this, and will take action soon accordingly.

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
