Cool Looks like a Scam on Ebay....

Says 1999 Skyline

That's an R33, which was 1995-1997 only. It's Left hand drive, which as we know Skylines only come in righ hand drive.. you can do conversions, but that dash looks suspicious.

And it's going for cheap.

I suspect it's a 240sx with some work done to it.

Re: Looks like a Scam on Ebay....

def a 240sx, skyline has a similar body but there are a few things here and there that give it a different stance and look.

Also is the r33 the awd model or is it the rwd model? i allways get 32 33 and 34 mixed up

I bet u anything some dumb A@@ 2f2f crew member is gunna pick that car up and tell everyone its a skyline until one day someone who actually knows something about cars tell him the bad news that he has a 240sx

Re: Looks like a Scam on Ebay....

can't tell what it is exactly.

if its a headlight swap, its the cleanest one i ever saw, becasue i saw a few R33 headlight swaps on 240's and 240's are wide enought to make it look right.

also lookin at the radiator support, it doens't look like a 240sx radiator support.

looking at the how much space he has between the engine and the radiator, a RB26DETT swapped 240 will not have that much space

the interior is from a 4th gen maxima.

so i suspect it is a REAL R33 GTR which is AWD and All wheel steering chexmixa, with a left hand drive conversion.

and redneck the R33's were in production from 95-98.

Re: Looks like a Scam on Ebay....

It's a scam. Here's why:

The seller says email me at this address instead of using contact seller. That means that it's a hijacked account

The scammer has no idea what kind of car it is. Like Redneck pointed out, in 99 the Skyline was R34. However, in the states they only had 240sx up until 98.

I sent the seller a question. I'll know for 100% if it's a scam or not. If I think it's a scam, I'll bid like $100,000 on the car, so nobody will get scammed.

Re: Looks like a Scam on Ebay....

Where the car is located, and what kind of payment they want for it.

If they say the car is overseas somewhere, it's a scam.

If they want a money order sent to Saudi Arabia or Nigeria, it's a scam.

Re: Looks like a Scam on Ebay....

Item has been removed already. I always wanted to bid $100,000 for an item that's a scam. That way the scammer gets charged a really large selling fee for selling an item which is scam. Maybe next time.
