Like I have said before. The c**t is a dodgey prick. I'll PM you with contact details for him.

as for you mate... you told me you were buying my car if i remember correctly... you made it seem steve had sold my car on me..... read the engine numbers and everything....

you had stuffed up i had the rego papers in front of me when i was living in penola. i even went over there to melbourne to get a better picture of what was going on...... surprise surpise your doing it right here again... starting sh|T.

the car was sold... as i wanted it to be... but only after i had signed my rego papers over..... i think your problem is it wasnt sold to you......... and that would be the only reason your pissed off...

you were going around telling all your mates you were getting my 33 and sh|t... you got made a liar..... you made yourself a liar..... now you want someone to blame.... pretty immature for someone that goes to uni.... just like the rest of your mates ive found out.... yeah i know all about you and your little games... concidering i come for a totally differant state its sad i even found alot of stuff out about you.

Redback, you have got to be joking. You are in absolute denial. I went to check out the shell Steve was selling along with three of my mates, they can vouch for me. Two of them are on these forums. Everything seemed fine when I saw the shell. It had no engine. I was prepared to buy this shell and had a cheque made out to Steve a few days later. However, Steve seemed a bit too eager to sell it cheaply. I decided I would research it just in case, afterall this was a feg grand we were dealing with. Browsing through these forums I quickly discovered that the shell Steve was selling was your former car, still with all the green decals and fibreglass audio crap. So I added you to my MSN to see if I could find out more about this shell. To be continued...

he did say he was showing you that shell... and he told you that the one for sale was the same.... my shell sold for 12K..... that no were near what you were guna pay... he was gettign your shell from mildura which is were he was when you got ahold of my msn...... he came back with the shell..... maybe you should of visited him to clear things up... you werent dealing through me.....

either way the cars gone now.... what im getting at is steve just lost a son... no one here who hasnt lost there own child can say they know how he feels..... all i can say is give him and his wife sometime... i know if been a month or so but in the end this may not be what he wants to come back to.... he may not work with cars again.... pm me if any of you would like some contact details along wiht a reason.

cheers

Rick

After adding you, I gave you a rundown of the shell I went to see. I gave you a description, including chassis number, rego, colour, decals, previous engine numbet etc... You agreed it was your previous car. However, you had advised me that you had given the car to Steve to put a big hp engine in it, then Steve offered to have the car swapped for a GTR R33 Vspec, by a guy named Brian. I advised this can't be the case, as I was just checking out the shell with the intention of buying it. Steve had previous rego papers and everything. You then advised that you will contact Steve to find out what's going on. Steve informed you that, apparantly I was being shown an example of the car I was going to buy. That your car was being taken to get resprayed. Then, that Steve has a shell for me exactly the same as your car, but not yours. I then started telling you the car's details again, and you stopped validating my concerns. I decided that this is a load of crap, that I am not prepared to lose a few thousand to some dodgey prick who has someone elses car and is trying to offload it, and I cancelled the cheque I made to Steve the next day. Glad I did too, with all people I see getting scammed by this guy.

I'm not one to badmouth someone for no reason or cause trouble. I just don't like seeing people being screwed over for thousands of dollars. Hence, I've tried to warn people. Even one of my friends recognised that Steve was suss, and reported it to admin.

I don't know what you'r talking about being made a liar. First of all, I don't personally know you, nor do you me, or my mates. The mates that were with me, thought I was getting your car, they saw the cheque, and were prepared to go with me to give it to Steve. However, after I did some investigation, it was obvious I was definately not going to buy this car, hence had the cheque cancelled. I now have a legitimate R33. I am glad I didn't buy your car, and certainly not upset, so this is certainly not a vengeful response. I am not playing any games here. I am merely stating my observations and understandings of the business dealings I had with Skyline Steve.

Oh, btw, have you got your GTR yet Rick?

I've met Steve before too. Not really a lot of great stuff to say about him except he got my hopes up and it simply turned out to be nothing more than a complete pipe dream.

No different to any other tyre kicker wanting to buy my car except he spun his crap better than anyone else.

Que sera sera.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
