  1. S3 worth around 350 to 400 second hand matey. wouldnt bother with Ebay, too many idiots.
  2. fully built stage 6 long block and two blits KKK K27 turbos, well thats what i want, fecked if i can afford it though :lol: sorry lol
  3. Find out how much for the repair, compare that to what they sell for fully working, might be better to get it fixed then sell it rather than sell it at reduced cost because it needs a new screen, they are relatively easy to repair, but its the cost of parts thats the killer. Take for instance. Iphone 3gs New digitizer = £5, easy to fit. New LCD = £10, also easy to fit and can fit at the same time as doing the digitizer. Samsung galaxy S2. Can not buy digitizer / LCD separate, you have to get them both together. price = between £67 and £140 depending if you want just the LCD and digitizer or the assembly with it as well. id compare the prices, of a fully working one, with the cost of the part, might still be able to turn a profit. cost of a faulty Samsung galaxy S2, is between £50 and £150 depending on whats wrong with it, selling a fully working one, is around £300. Problem with buying a phone from Ebay, is there is a lot of stories of people buying the phone with "no signal" and it turns out to be barred, or buying the phone working, and then it ending up being barred at a later date, with a screen not working, people cant tell if its got connection issues with the network which is a major plus point if its working and can be shown working.
  4. oh god, an irish man going for a drink, Good luck matey lol, hahaha cant wait for the random lettered posts. :lol: and happy birthday fella.
  5. lol, well that was before id read the listing, bit like the guy who messaged me to say that he would like his bid removed because the graphics card i was selling, wasnt a graphics card??? i mean what the feck, couldnt even tell by the pictures as to what it was? Yours is doing what mine is doing, cracked screen, turns on but no back light on the LCD and no image on screen, just a blank screen, might want to add that you can get it repaired by Geek Squad at carphone warehouse, regardless if its bought there or not. ps you fail to mention if its unlocked / barred, any other faults ect. also what network its on (i know it says simlocked to 3 in the main info part, but people often skip that bit)
  6. why do you need to be wished good luck? does it come with the possibility of winning the euro millions? lol
  7. i can answer the samsung question, if my iphone suffers a cracked LCD, it can turn on, and light up, but the damaged area obviously doesnt work, with my samsung galaxy S2, the LCD is cracked but doesnt power on, just saying it has a cracked screen doesnt necessarily mean the LCD wont power on even though the phone its self is on. may just be a samsung thing, i know the S2's screen cant be replaced on its own, you have to get the digitizer as well, as you cant separate the two with any degree of success. Id say thats a genuine question, but as you are pee'ved with ebay lol its effecting your judgement as to if its a ligit question or not :D
  8. open a non payment case with ebay, you can only do so after 4 days, then wait 4 days, if he still hasnt paid then you can close the case after 4 days, and relist it, that way he gets a strike against his name as a non payer, he cant give negative feed back (although that works both ways) and you dont have to worry about his suddenly saying "but i brought that" Sucks you have to wait so frigging long, but thats the only way to do it, like im having to at the moment, im on day 3, only have to wait till tomorrow so i can open a non payment case. shame this isnt the US, where a non payer can be taken to court, as it is a binding contract. would soon sort out this bid and not pay malarkey if buyers where faced with court action.
  9. you need to sort some side skirts out, love the wheels now jaikai.
  10. agree with this, check battery connections, had the same, also had it where i was driving along put me foot down for a bit of fun and the car died on me at 60mph, had to get the car towed home, and someone had extended the positive battery cable, but didn't do a good job of it, and it had worked its self loose and separated. But also had it where the terminals were not making a good contact even though they were tight, take the ternminals off, give them a wire brush and put them back on.
  11. haha, almost need a set of ramps and a hydraulic jack, to do work on that. You need to get a video of that in motion.
  12. ive only ever stripped 3 cars, still got my blue one that still has parts on, first zed i stripped was due to dodgy turbos, not enough space and the need to replace it, so used the cash to fund a replacement, second zed was actually acquired with the intention of repairing it, but once it got here, it had a hell of a lot more wrong with it than the owner originally told me, pricing it up for repair just seemed uneconomical to do so, my blue zed took a rear end hit, so that is also in the process of being stripped, but since i decided to do that, the market became flooded with cars being broken, so its just been left for now until things quieten down. I understand stripping a car that has been heavily modified, as you will make a lot more cash selling the uprated parts then the rest of the bits people need, than if you sold the car as a whole. What i dont get though, is stripping a car for the hell of stripping it, why not put it back to standard and sell as a whole? you will still get the cash for the parts and help save a 300zx in the process, ok its a lot more work involved, but it is doable, Andy Isherwood was doing it with his as far as i know. It is a shame though, when you see a good example going to the scrappers just because its worth more in parts, but who can blame anyone, in this current climate, and these cars being not only seasonal, but also not very well known, people tend to stay clear, add onto that the rising fuel costs and maintenance costs and apart from being fast and looking good, there really isnt that much going for them. Sad but true fact.
  13. nothing wrong with rear wheel drive mr zed owner..... Though for a RC car i can see the draw backs. still impressive though
  14. bloody hell, even comes with small darby model shop decals lol looks good that does.
  15. yeah pain in the arse mate. Ive got a samsung galaxy S2 thats waiting for a new LCD lol, seems to be a recurrent thing with them.
  16. just had the same mate, stuck something on for spares / repairs as it still might be of use to someone, had 2 bidders, first one asked me to cancel their bid saying it wasnt the item it was??? thought fair enough, so canceled his bid, messaged the second bidder to make him aware that his bid was now the highest again out of courtesy, auction ended, get this message. "Dear, hey i didnt make this bid....... this is my paypal i cant afford or need this item" Bearing in mind there was 6 bids off this guy, 3 of which where automatic the other 3, normal bids. Anyway, its now going to take 8 more frigging days, before i can list the item again, as im having to go down the non payer route, other wise he is going to get away with it, and also be able to leave me bad feed back, and as im 100% positive, there is no way im going to give the scrotum the chance too. The worst thing? this is only the 3rd item ive tried to sell on ebay, the first got sent back to me after 3 weeks, saying the item was now broken, so had to give full refund and get back a broken item that i sold working fine, the 2nd item i sold, but the buyer was just a time waster, no contact, no payment, another 8 days waisted, as ebay doesnt let you open a non paying case until 4 days have past, and then 4 more days, of waiting for ebay to agree that they are not going to pay, and now this. So far, not the best selling experiance on there.
  17. ?? they look like they spin with the wheel, isnt that going to unbalance it? anyway found something for your project lol http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-FERRARI-599-GTB-FIORANO-F1-6-0-LITRE-PETROL-V12-611-BHP-AUTOMATIC-ENGINE-/251104587900?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D3805431712125720828%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D251104587900%26
  18. in short, no (unless someone on here is willing to buy the house, or she asks to buy the house) If the owners haven't been paying the mortgage and defaulted, then the bank owns the house still and she is technically trespassing / squatting. Although its a crappy time of year for them to do this to her, they unfortunately are well with in their rights to ask her to vacate the premises and have given her ample time to look for a new abode. What she could do is get a letter of confirmation from them, go down the local council and ask to be homed as she will be homeless other wise, as she is a mother with young children she will be moved to the top of the housing list, the process should not take too long, but she will have to move. I know council houses are not what every one wants, but to be honest its a more secure home than privately renting, council have set strict rules to adhere to, where as private rented landlords do not. (well they do, but from what ive seen, they never usually follow them), also if she is lucky and gets a decent area, once she has lived there for a while she can buy the house at a significantly reduced amount. Did she confirm who they where though? as to if they where genuine or not?
  19. When did red and blue ever go together well? Way over the top on the interior, some strange customization going on, (what do the rear quarter windows feed air to?) Some bits i like, others im like "what the f?" Bits i like the Engine the wheels the quality of the work (might not be to my taste but does look like its done well) Bits that are a bit, err...? Lambo doors, Rear tail lights rear tub the white stripes? WAY TO MUCH RED looks like he left the rest of the engine bay in primer.
  20. ??? you are not trying hard enough, i can get 2 20 year old ladys in mine, both 5ft 4 lol, and i can get in the back of my zed and im 5ft 11, though i doubt id survive a bumpy road with out ending up with concussion.
  21. Sorted out your video encoding as it wasnt showing the first video. That's showing condensation off the exhaust mate, all 7 zeds have done the same in the colder months, once warmed up it will calm down a bit, but thats actually normal for a 300zx in winter lol head gasket would be thicker smoke than that with possible lumpy idle and definitely not a smooth engine tone, oil burn would have a blue hue to it, and black soot would be over fueling.
  22. yes, the starter is the same, its the drive plate, fly wheel bell housing on the gearboxes that is different.
