sideeways

ok got some more info for yas.... as for where he works.. he used to be in a parnership with OH Performance... cant remember the subburb but been there with him and they still get along quite well.... same with the guys at the mazda place we went to... all seemed really good mates.... got his RX-4 fixed there on the spot. they droped everything for him.

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.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
