  1. I'll see about taking some pictures and posting them, I also need to send some off to apple just to get a comfirmation of it being a fraud as it will help with filing my police report. I did talk to an officer and he said it seems as though I have a solid case, but I need to talk to an officer from the county where the transaction took place.

  2. you might be screwed tho, that's the problem w/ craigslist. if you paid online, you might be able to get the charges reversed.

     

    What makes it suck is the fact that it wasn't done online, I met the person and looked at it and everything before giving him the money. It wasn't till a few minutes later that I started noticing the differences. Mine stays in a leather case at all times, so honestly I didn't notice any differences till I took it out of the case. The quality is crap compared to my real ipod, it has a plastic exterior where as mine is aluminum. They didn't even write a believable program for it....it uses root files and local files as folders for music....and I've never heard of an ipod having to take like 10 seconds to power up. It does have an apple logo, as well as Ipod written right on it, it also has all the symbols that the ipods come with, with a model number too.

  3. you think the police might be able to help me? I've had a couple instances where I've had to get some help from the police and they really didn't help, other then tell me that they were just gonna be present to make sure things didn't escalate. And they would not answer any of my questions reguarding the situation, asking if such things were even legal. The answer I recieved was, "I'm only here to keep the peace" yet wouldn't state if something was legal or not.

     

    Sorry for the rant, I have no problems with the police, and am not one of those guys that says "the cops are out there just to pull me over" I understand they have a hard job, and am glad they're there to keep it safe, my experiance when I was the victim was not a great one.

  4. Found an ipod nano on craigslist for a nice price, was new in box. I asked the guy why he was getting rid of it. Said his dad is a wholesaler and gives his son random stuff like this and if he has one or doesn't want it he just sells it. So I bought it, I looked at it and all seemed good, then I decided to check it out and realised there was a few small differences, and it seemed a bit odd, and once I turned it on there was no similarities. So I contacted the seller and said its not real, and I have my actual AUTHENTIC Ipod nano right next to it comparing it and its FAKE. Now its kind of hard getting in contact with the seller and he won't refund my money. Yet he still continues to sell these fakes.

     

    Anybody have any ideas on what I should do?

  5. After plenty of confusion getting on both my flights to argentina, I am finally here. They canceled my initial flight to miami, so I had to fly to dallas to goto argentina, my ticket was purchased at a diffrent time from my parents so when we had to reshedule flights for yesterday, I had to fly alone where the rest of my family flew together. Then in dallas they said that I had no ticket booked for argentina, but the rest of my family did. They gave me a standby pass and I eventually got on, and now I reside in Buenos Aires, Argentina!!!

     

    Does anybody have any info on importing real cuban cigars? I remember reading that it was ok as long as it wasn't from cuba, now it seems as though the president changed that policy so absolutly NO cuban cigars could come in. Anybody have any input? My boss likes cigars and thought I'd bring some back seeing as they can be quite hard to come by, and here they seem to be quite plentiful.

  6. Here's a thought.... Call Verizon Customer Service and explain what you'd like to be able to do. They'll tell you service availability and rates.

    Just called them, and they have NO service or extended network there

  7. I know a nice bit of the 7MGTE engine. We have already done a headgasket replacement in this using ARP studs, but stock replacement headgasket torqued to 87 ft/lbs. I've read that people have increased the head torque and cleared up the issue with running higher then stock boost and still being reliable.

     

    The motor made the supra decently quick for its time, and it being a pig didn't help. It has a nice smooth powerband and I like the thought of that in the Z.

  8. On December 17th I'm leaving for Buenos Aires, Argentina and will be gone for 2 weeks. And was wondering if my phone will work there. I have an Env2, and an outlet adapter for there power requirments to charge my phone. I plan to bring it with me anyway as I have my spanish translator on my phone, and am gonna need that. I'm not too worried about making calls as it would probably be crazy expensive, but does anybody who does alot of internationaly traveling know if texting would work?

     

    On Verizons site it says there is interenational texting, but thats me texting someone in another country and its like 25 cents a text, but idk if this same rule applies to me being in another country with my current US issue phone?

  9. I may be getting my hands on a fairly cherry 7MGTE as a buddy is starting his 2JZ swap into his mk3 supra. I was just wondering how a fairly stock 7M(intake, exhaust, FMIC) pulls the little Z around. I relize the Z weighs quite a bit less then that pig of a car. His car ran a best of 14.7 I believe with minor upgrades(catback and bov were really the only upgrades) I only know of the GVW of the supra is around 3600lbs, I'm not sure of its actual weight though, anybody know?

     

    What I'm asking is if anyone has done a basic swap into the Z and how did it feel as compared to the L-series that was in it before? Was it worth it?

  10. I do plan to upgrade to somthing newer and bigger once I get this one paid off and feel comfortable enough to move upto a bigger bike. After I wrecked a few months back I've been slowly regaining lean angle, so I still got a ways to go.

  11. I just really like the bike. Its nice and comfortable and I like how its fairly upright but I can lean on in when I need to. I looked at a 08 ZZR600 and it doesn't really ride the same, its not very upright. I just wanna update the front. Everything else has the appeal of a fairly new bike, just the front end kicks it back to the early 90's

  12. I know this isn't a motorcycle forum, but I know there is plenty of riders on here. I bought an 03 ZX600e11 ZZR600 and cannot find an exhaust anywhere. I've been looking but can't find anything. I have heard its interchangable with the 94-98 ZX6, but I haven't found anything to really back this up other then a parts guy at a Kawasaki dealership. Can anybody confirm this? Its hard to find parts for this bike, but the ZX6 is easy to find parts.

  13. ...for the Z to find a new owner. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___1978-Datsun-280z-Project-car_W0QQitemZ270270762338QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270270762338&_trkparms=72%3A727%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245

     

    Somebody is offering me an S130 that looks identical to my first Z and I really wanna trade, but something says he won't like my car as much in person, so I'm putting it on Ebay. I put that I would end the auction if it sells locally, so if the trade goes down then I'll take it down.

  14. When were we ever talking about the article specifically? My first post about the topic was directed at your blanet termonology that me, and others here, didn't agree with.

     

    Lack of back pressure is killing them I'm sure, my civic's muffler rotted off and there is a diffrence of night and day. No backpressure=sucks off the line.

     

    This is where I was talking about backpressure effecting the car in the article, and you went against that. I highly doubt the stock sentra is going to gain alot of power vs. loss of low end torque to even make it worth the while to chop off the exhaust. Maybe I'll try it on the B15 we got, its just a GXE, but maybe worth a shot, no?
