emailed him late last night and got a reply today saying "its very unusal for it to take this long to arrive, and he would suss it out and geet back to me tomorrow" fingers crossed all works out.

Keep me posted on how you go - there may be genuine reasons and we will give them the week to get sorted; but hell, it doesn't take much to email people back and say hey I've some problems. If you take peoples money to supply a product that you don't have, then that's not great business sense. I'll keep you up to speed if I ever get my gear

theres no malabar st in roxburgh park

Well that says it all - fake address, no phone listing, bugger all email contact:

Come on guys, someone out there must know where this mob live:

They've used the name "Online Motor Options" - the contact Theresa Holt.

May have also traded as HorsePower Kings"

Had an address of:

10 Malabar Street Roxburgh Park Vic

They have been removed from eBay - that's at least a plus

Come on guys - let's find these characters and get people back their money or goods for which they have already paid.

I'll say one thing though, if you're using the e-mail facility on e-bay...it's 100% dodge, I never receive confirmations etc etc and always have to include an instruction for the sellers to contact another e-mail addy, it's that bad.

As for Australia post losing things...don't get me started on that issue. The most recent thing has been with our mail being redirected to a PO box...now anyone sending stuff to our home addy gets it returned to sender, even though it's a valid address.

I've got things being sent by friends and it's taking months for it to arrive, so I know some of you guys would be getting edgy about strangers sending stuff, but just remember Aus Post is useless at the best of times.

doesn't e-bay have a provision where you send the money and they send the goods and they are both forwared on when both parties have fulfile there part of the deal??

As for paying total amounts on unseen goods, thats just stupid. put down a 10% deposit and they have to hold it for you. Especially if the goods aren't in the country.

if your not happy, go and get your money back. if they don't want too hand it back, put small claims onto them.

I recently purchased an Intercooler kit on eBay through Online Motor Options - the email contact has the name Theresa. I have received the Intercooler but I'm still waiting on the piping some 4 weeks since I paid for the kit. Is there anyone out there who can give me some contact details (phone number, location etc) of this group - Online Motor Options so I can find out what's going on.  Any details appreciated.

PS: More than happy with the quality of the Intercooler although getting more than a little worried about delivery or lack of delivery of the piping, hoses etc.

Please help if you have any contact details

Well guys - just to let you all know that I have still not received my piping from this Online Motor Options group and today will start the legal process. Be aware that a person was recently jailed for 18 months for advertising something on eBay that they did not have and accepted the money from 3 buyers. This is a very serious offence to take peoples money and not supply what you paid for. Be careful - both sellers and buyers.

they also have the highest rate of sales of all internet sites i would say...

I have just received an email from a mate involved in a Commodore web group saying that they have a couple of fellows who paid for an Intercooler kit from this mob and haven't received anytthing yet. Sounds like Police or Consumer Affairs is the next port of call for these mongrels if they don't come to the party.

      Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡

      Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink

      Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
