I don't think they were his cars. All thieves should be castrated/shot/maimed. A similar thing happened a little while ago to another importer who had half a dozen cars stolen that weren't even complied yet. He did eventually get them back at a cost.

I can't believe that they stole them at 7:30-9pm considering that there are plenty of people around.

I hate thieves, but it sounds like perhaps Karma has come to visit our friend Herman?

umm. dont be throwing the word karma around my friend. :D

im sure loosing 80k worth of cars sux in anyones book.

is there something i dont know about him that you do? :D

thats ok il pretend your joking :D

Based on first hand experience and things I've read and heard over the years, Herman deserves quite a lot of bad luck for his doings. That's not to say you do personally, so in this case, all the best recovering the vehicles.

ok buddy. :( theres a diferance between hearing "rumors" from people who perhaps didnt get what they wanted out of him. and actually sitting down and getting told his life story.

or did you not realise he got defrauded of 500k during the early years of his operation. that person is in jail.

so lay the f**k off you ignorant tool. if your such a firm believer in karma you had better change your attitude. not that im wishing cancer on you(although if he read your coments youd have trouble sleeping)

just cut the guy a break. although he can be abit "thoughtless" at times.

until you hear the WHOLE STORY keep your comments to your self. as they are not welcome and arogant.

or perhaps you could share some of your "experiances" with us. as im pretty sure they are speculation.

tah..

They're not rumours. Read again. My dislike for Herman is based upon first hand experience. Thats based upon myself, and friends, NOT JUST things I've read on the internet. I'm a firm believer in seeing for myself, not just basing my opinions on people on things I've read. I had heard things about him, but went to him anyway, ditto with friends, and it's always turned bad. This is why I dislike him. I'm not giving him a break, he doesn't deserve it. He's more than just thoughtless.

There's no need for me to share my stories here. What's the point? What's it going to prove? Herman does a great job of making a fool of himself on his own. I'm not here to "bring him down", I don't care to, he's not worth my time.

Whether he has been defrauded or whatnot doesn't matter, it doesn't give him an excuse to defraud anybody else or have the half assed attitude he does.

There's no need for name calling. Did I call anybody names here? No. So how about you take some of your own friendly advice and lay off. All you're going to do is make me think you've got the same dislikable attitude as our good friend Herman.

Unless you want your thread closed I'd suggest you end the argument here, I have nothing further to add.

Enough of the shit.

Regardless of any issues you may have with the business,,,, the issue at hand is thieves and the cars that were taken, and the f**kers need to be stopped.

I think a moderator needs to clean this thread

Which is exactly what I said, is it not? Give or take it was not my exact analogy; but it is the general point of my post.

anyway, whatever. go and hack just jap about how they got ripped by some clowns and see how far you get.

f**koffkthanx

Guys,

The bitching in this thread is just stupid. Either help Dave out with useful information or it will be closed. This sort of thing is ok in Wasteland. But its embarrassing to have this thread in NSW.

I didn't buy a car from you mate. I had work done by Herman. I delt with Herman, Herman did the work, Herman caused the problems. That's it. Forgive me for disliking him and wishing misfortune upon him. Did you not see where I noted the cars were NOT Hermans, but yours, and retracted my comment and wished you the best of luck? Or did you just ignore that because you're looking for an argument?

Do you WANT me to dislike you, or what?

Far out...

If you're still getting misconceptions please by all regards PM me. If you're still not clear on the fact that my dislikings have nothing to do with you nor Envy Imports as a company, and need further clarification, take it to PM, but if you want to argue over nothing it's not worth my time so do not bother.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
