Hello everyone, I've recently bought a 1996 R33 from Origin Concepts in Lansvale NSW. I got the car I wanted, but also got a big hassle also. I'm posting this to warn anybody who might try and do business wit these people. I bought a 1996 R33 GTST with 85,000 km on the clock for $11,800. I paid at the upper end of market value as I figured buying from a dealership would eliminate some of the dishonesty. Boy was I wrong!! It turned out that the odometer was faulty and only clocked KMs intermittently; which means the actual KMs are more than what was indicated. I took thecae to Unique Autosports in Castle Hill (very nice people) and paid them to look the car over. They estimate that the car really has between 130k and 150k KMs by the wear and tear on the car. There's some other stuff too, but I won't bore you with it. Anyway, the dealership has refused to own up to selling a car with a faulty odometer and has been jerking me around for the past 30 days with it. I've decided to file a complaint with Fair Trading to see if the can/will help resolve the issue. We will see where that goes... Anyway, be warned and do NOT buy things from these people without having them checked out by someone else BEFORE you give them any money! In the meantime, I will be surfing this site to get ideas on things to do to the car and places to buy parts from. Thanks for reading and spread the bad news so nobody else get take advantage of!

Hey guys i just got my dream car last week. Its a 91 nissan skyline gtst type m. Ive beem saving for over 8 years to get this car and im so excited i finally have it.
