My silver skyline is around Harbord a lot. Mostly around the harbord pub and/or shops. Mark

Yes red900ss, I was nme on SDU. Gave the dealer a call after work today (saturday) and the car isn't ready yet. He says it will be ready on Monday. If he delays the car another week i'll be hitting the 5 month mark. I'm going away on holidays with my gf tommorow for a week (I was going to take the skyline) but now have to settle for my gf's accord. Anything interesting happen to your x-trail after the cops took prints off it? Mark

As I mentioned in an ealier post in this thread, I won my skyline on the 4th of March this year and I bet it wont be ready this week. I've just been down to the dealer to confront them about an issue with the front bar of my car. They promised to fix the front of my car but he only fixed the bonnet. Because i've kept a full log of every single meeting between the dealer and I with quotes on what was said, he reluctantly accepted that he will get the front bar painted. The car was due today which is 4 months and 6 days so far. The novelty has worn off so i'm now making sure everything that was promised to me will be done instead of not worrying about it. Mark

I will Christian, they couldn't possibly string it out another week when there is so little to do so you'll probably get a call from me this week. I'm now on my mid year break so I have plenty of time to hang around the dealer to get him organised with my car. As an aside, the girl (20yo blonde) who owns gts2nv is selling her car at the same place i'm buying my car at. Some of you may remember a thread on SDU a month or so ago devoted to her and other female skyline owners. Mark

Hi brendanf, I'm just north of you in Curl Curl. I won my silver gtst over 4 months ago and still don't have it. My car i'm trading in ran out of rego a month ago so I'm basicly without a car. I went through a local dealer and they asured me that they could better the deal the brokers were giving: could get the car on the road in less than 6-8 weeks. To get it cheaper I gave them the majority of the cost of the car. It may be read this week. I took it for a drive with trade plates on around the Harbord area near freshwater beach and it was a dream to drive compared to my laser. Now waiting for new wheels, blue slip, and rego. hmm, wonder how long they can strech these out for... Mark

So do I. I've asked Prank to come down with me when I pick up the car to make sure it isn't a lemon. I haven't driven a turbo car before and i'm use to my 1.6l laser. I'm unsure how they should perform so i've asked someone who is local for some help. Prank has been nice enough to give up his time to take my car for a fang around the streets of Manly... he seems like a very good bloke. Maybe this week is the week I get my skyline... I hope so anyway. BTW, what is tech support like? I graduate at the end of the year and am looking for a job as a programmer or similar. Mark

JiMbO, it's not as bad as it sounds. Its a young crew (owner is 24) and they don't seem to be very organised. The problem is, he is trying to sell more cars than he can handle so a lot of the customers are having to wait. My car and a couple of others he imported were kept for over a month by customs because they were "red flaged" or "red something-ed". They arn't bad, they can't handle the work they have (they also do the compliance work). They make promises that they have no control over eg. I've heard "It will be here next week" about 4-5 times. They have just had a bad trot with wiating for cars from the wharf (which is out of their direct control). Mark

Yeah Prank, it's who you think it is. No luck today picking up my skyline, salesman didn't know anything about my car and the boss went on holidays to the snow. The boss promised me he would pass all relevant information and paperwork to his salesman before he went away on the chance that today my car would be ready to register. Another entry gets written on my webpage about this saga. The salesman didn't even know where my car was. It would be interesting if my car has made the trip to the snow... I've told a lot of people i'm getting the car and people have seen it being driven around with trade plates by the boss of this company. I've taken a pic of the number of Ks the car had done when it arrived off Botany wharf at their workshop. Might have some words when I pick up the car if the Ks are significantly different. I'll give you a call when I get word it's ready Prank. Mark

I've got the exact same record as you cynider, but I live on the northern beaches and got quoted $2500. I thought I lived in a low-risk area, I guess I dont. Mark
