They seem to have a decent range there and was wondering if anyone here has bought a car off them?

Are there any dealers that you recommend, especially any on the East side of Melb?

Im looking for either a black or white 'line, sunroof would be good :D, standard or not. $15k to spend on the car... there is 1 or 2 at Power Road Car Sales that fit the bill...

Thanks

-Steve

PS I did a search and there wasnt anything recent.

man just go private sellers. the only thing i've heard from people who have bought from both is that they saved $$$ when they went private instead and the quality of the cars were the same.

i rang power rd a couple of months ago and i dunno they didn't sound "enthusiastic". i asked em if they had any 4 door R32s in stock and the guy was like "nah we don't".....thats it. and in the auto supermarket magazine their page was full of 4door R32s lol.

yeah i hada look at them when i was first looking for my car, didnt seem as stocked as what the ads were... so i was like meh. i.e there range wasnt all that it was made out to be.

i eventually got my car from allblitz off the forums :(

yep same here:

"hi saw the silver 32 advertised in blah.. is it manual or auto?"... "uhmmm.. I dunno.. I'll have to check"..

"ok well can you tell me anything about it?"... "uhmm its silver.. "

"ok well I'm looking for a blah in a manual with a blah blah blah, do you have anything I might be interested in?".. "uhm I dunno you'll have to come and have a look"..

Yes I'm going to trek all the way down to Dandenong to find they have nothing anywhere near what I want.

i got my car from power road, they dont seem intrested on the phone but in person go speak to them and the cars are really good, and they know everything about skylines.

On the phone they talk very un intrested , but they have heaps of good deals, go down there, get the car u like checked out, and take it for a spin, they were really good when i went down

wow, this is completely different to when i went down there, the guy was just an arogant pric to me n ma mates... but 4 young guys (only 1 that actually had a licence) asking for test drives is kinda suspicious lol, but yeh, he is genuinely looking for a skyline, we werent just doin a dog act on the owner

if your into series 2 autos... otherwise i think they had 1 or 2 manual ones for $21k...

seen some nice 33 series 2s for $16k... dunno what was up bacause the same ph no. is on 2, a black and white one...

Mine was 16,800 + ORC (3 year warranty was free) - but not power road carsales.

I heard some stories about them, but i suppose we hear something about everyone - thats why its important to check the car thoroughly.

i got a pretty good deal off them 10.5k including rego and stamp duty for my 33 gts25 so the car itself was only like 9.5k

went with my dad and he let us try out a lot of cars

that's the best thing about this guy just gives u the keys and u can go for a drive no fuss unlike some other dealers i went to.

well im only 21, and when i went alone he test drove it with me as a passenger, he didnt let me drive, but when my dad came with me t o test it, he let us go alone for the test drive.

but they let u call racv to check out the car as well, which is good and they included a few goodies in mine, so if u ask them they will :P

Yeah, be careful with them. They were fine during the sale stage, but when i found that the tmimng belt was incredibly loose and the tension arm worn about 2 weeks later, (my mechanic was asking how far i'd driven without it snapping) they tried to camouflague it as 'something we forgot to tighten'. Otherwise, the prices are fair - They even drove 20mins to pick me up from a train station!

SSV on princes HWY... not quite sure of the exact address, I pass it on the way to Caulfield monash... say inbetween Warrigal Rd and Burke Rd...

No experience except that I dropped in just to check out the cars (Big range of imports)

I went in my skyline, the guy knew I wasn't there to buy anything but he was happy to have a chat.

Probably Mark, a good guy - always happy to have a chat about the skylines. They have a lot of supras there too - looks like they are doing well :ermm:

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
