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.

"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. "

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.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
