not wanting to take things on a personal level, (however i shall say Steve i am deeply sorry for what has happened to you, but i still stand by the condition of that car when i sold it to you, and the report that i was given.) this car is the second car i looked at. I knocked back the first one (gts-4 sedan) due to being told it was actually dodgy(blown head gasket history!) i have decided on another r32 because it gives me change/allowance in my pocket for a engine rebuild, should anything happen.

well i stand corrected! blast and i tot i had something unique!

oh as for that lil s cargo it really did look "pimpin" in the flesh too LOL

he he he, nice car man, i was actually lookin at that one for myself a while back, i decided not to as it was a slush box, and i had just come from a slush box, i ended up buying a silver 32 four door off one of the guys that worked in that yard!

Nice car though, very clean.

Congrats

if your so 'SURE' of the engines (to quote you) "perfect condition", why did you sell it to me to buy another 32 thats a different color. its identical.

and if your SO SORRY, how about you help me out financially with some of the money i gave you. sorry is a word, it means f**k all. financial help because you TRULY ARE sorry is another matter. hell i can handle being ripped off, but i cant handle you apologising profusely, yet not offering a helping hand.

hope everything with your car goes well, i wish nothing bad on you, im just a little dissapointed you stooped so low.

all the best, steve.

Steve i was going to keep the car... now i obviously didnt want to tell u that because 1) you will never believe me after all that has happened now, but ask my brother and ask his girlfriend and they will say the same thing, when u paid for that deposit i was already regretting i sold the car, i didnt want to be without a car anymore, which leads me to number 2) why i bought a literally identical car, it was here in perth ready to drive away, no waiting required. Now if i had told you that and said "sorry i dont wanna sell it anymore to you, chances are i would definately had chopped a fair bit from you as well." so either way i am caught out.

Steve i know the engine died only a few days after u bought it, but the questain begs, how? i drove that car since may 2005 untill may 2006 and it never skipped a beat on me. I would not have a problem at all if you wanted to speak to people who are close to me and have being in constant "contact" with my car, my mechanic who last worked on my car included. I told you all that was wrong with it, to what i was told by my mechanic, and that was all stated in the report that he handed to me. i am not trying to take the blame away from myself, i am simply trying to put my side of the story. I understand what u r going thru, because i also lost my first car and made a huge lost (from $5800 to $1800) however i really believe that i didnt do the shifty on you. i sincerely didnt know my bottom end was going to let go in a few days of you owning it.

these things happen when you deal with old performance cars, its the buyers responsiblity to ensure the car is up to there standard before purchase, if it was just an rb20 that poped, then its cheap as chips to replace so i dont see the big issue klown../?

Financially i am not responcible/obligated because this car left my hands in good condition, with no evidence at time of the sale tat it was going to let go.

PLease remember u bought a 17 year old car. with absolutely no service history, apart from may 2005 to may 2006 when i owned the car and recorded what maintenance i performed on it. With this in mind its obvious buying a performance car of this age needs quite a lot of pre purchase preparation. I never refused the car for any inspection steve. if u asked me for a car inspection on the car and i tried to talk u out of it, then we would be in a totally different scenario right now.

the reality is 15 year old imports sound and look great on paper, but there is alot of caution and pre-knowledge required in buying one.

I bought a sedan, identical engine yes, but i now need a car with four doors.... and no i aint gonna be a dad either!

And the offer of 1500 drive in drive out RB20det is still there.

no there wasnt a independent inspection on his side done. when i had my rocker cover gaskets replace i asked my mechanic to do a basic engine check for my own piece of mind ( compression, oil pressure test, fuel pressure test), and the report was included with the car.

the check was done, to my understanding, at my request. i still have the pms to prove it.

as for you pointing the finger at me being the reason it died, i rang you the second i got home to tell you

# 1 the car just stalled in my driveway

# 2 the door doesnt lock and you didnt tell me

# 3 the suspension is f**ked

then when i came to pick up liscence papers, you 'neglected' to tell me that the oil pressure gauge was 'broken'. and assured me it was. 10 seconds later i was at cypher with a gauge connected to it to test, adn was being told i needed a new bottom end and there was no way i did that damage.

i dont know what sort of relationship you have with your mechanic, but from the looks of it, i think he got his mechanics experience from playing with toy cars.

either way, i am now lumped with no car and have to take a loan to get the car back on the road, and also just lost my job.

im allowed to be pissed.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
