why is everyone comparing a good condition 32 to random cheap 33's? ;)

If someone is after a nice 32, why does it matter what price 33's go for? need to compare apples with apples :)

IMO i don't care how cheap 33's get, if i'm after a nice 32, i'm after a nice 32.....

anyway, it seems like racepace have given it the all clear, so as long as Patrick is happy then its sweet :)

Agreed..............

This is your major problem....make sure you have it checked out properly.

But having said that ,not many people will go out of there way to look at the thing to make sure all

is well. I agree with the rest $14K is steep. I know some people trying to get $19K for stock gtr32's although the

better examples are around $22K.

Really a bit of advice to you. Take the car for a full once over by either nispro,racepace or any other respectfull

garage, no matter if it takes them 3 hour and $300 later.

The money you could save on repairs could be 20 times that amount.

Get everything in writing ....no......i'll get that fixed no problems.

The old saying is so true..........buyer beware.

Hi guys, i just wanted to ask u fellas where the nispro and racepace garages are located in melbourne? ALso just wanted to grab an approx. price cos i wanted to get a 32 checked out aswell, just like our mate Rekin here, and wanted to go for a comprehensive check of everything. Thanks boys, let me know of your thoughts :P

Good looking 32... go the 32's ..if it checks out and i read that it has...go for it.. spend a little more for less headache. If the car is in that great a conditon then the owner or the salesperson is generally going to ask for a little bit more money.. U can go and buy a cheap 10k or less 32gtst but if there was an engine failure of some sort imagine the cost of having it either rebuilt or having another donk dropped in. I know it would cost around or more then 3k...

The people who attended the formal were:

Bass Junky, Adzmax, NismoR34 and Paulr33

I believe that is NismoR34's car

Trying to organise the payment of the car but have a couple of questions.

If i prepare a bank check for the seller, what happens after that? He takes the bank check to any branch and they give him the cash in hand?

Im hearing stories about that they will only pay out cash if the seller goes to the same branch you issued the check, and that the bank wont issue out large sums of cash ie. $12750~.

Could anyone clear this up as I do not really want to walk around with a large sum of money.

Car will be ready on Saturday, and there is no way i can withdrawl that amount of cash by then. So I will get a bank check tomorrow and pick up car >_<

When you get a bank cheque, the money is already gone from your account at that point...its not like it comes out only when he cashes it...its basically like you give the money to the bank, they give u a piece of paper, and he takes the piece of paper to tell the bank to give him ur money...

He'll deposit the bank cheque at any branch (definitely does not have to be the same one) and they'll deposit that amount of money into the account he nominates.

Then if he wants, he can withdraw it all from his account.

I've withdrawn massive amounts of money from the bank, its not like an ATM where the limit is $800 a day....

i had a bank cheque made up when i bought mine. As long as the dealers/compliancers business name is the way he wanted it on the bank cheque and the right amount is on it - you shouldnt have any problems. Prblem with bank chqs is that you incur a fee. But hey, its a very small price to pay for hours and hours of fun! >_<

I called the seller and told him I'll pay via bank cheque, he wanted cash but i explained to him its the same thing? He may have thought i said Personal Cheque? although I have no idea between the both of them. Commerce isnt my strong point >_<

He told me the name to put the bank cheque under anyways so yeah..

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
