whats the reason behind this????

Sold me a car that could not be driven, and had LOTS of illegal parts on it

After they had my money they would not even talk to me

They did not change the tires on the car to aus. legal tires

Alam was not wired correctly, and drained the battery

Spacers on the wheels - wheels rubbed into the wheel guard

POD filter not secured and not covered

etc

etc

etc

We went there once and MOST of their cars are in really crap condition....You have to be careful with places like that....they'll rip ya off.... :( Especially around the Northern Suburbs area....Did you go down there to purchase the car??

Yep, JSA is well known for that sort of stuff.

It's kind of a big joke really

Sorry to hear about what happened.

Why can't it be driven?

Yeh flew down to Melb to buy the car. They took everything off the car, got it complied and then put it back on - i didnt know at the time half of it was not legal... by the time i found out it had been a fair while.

It can be driven now, but i had to spend a LOT to get it drivable and legal

Tires scrubbed out when driving over a little bump or cats eye due to spacers

I have been having an ongoing battle with them and they threatened to "countersue" if I proceeded with legal action.

ahh I see.. yer thats pretty dodgy.

The car was stock when i test drove it (they said for compliance they had to have it stock)

Then they said i would get all these nice extra bits (most of which were illegal)

They complied it, then wacked all the other stuff on, trucked it up to me and then wouldnt talk to me

R33 GTS-t

Problems were:

Alarm incorrectly wired

Spacers

No hub locators (dangerous)

Cat back exhaust (not turbo back as promised they would put on)

No coil over suspension as promised

Tires not Aus. legal

AND they void the warranty they supplied before i got the car (it is only valid if car is STOCK - what a scam)

tell them your gonna take am to consumer affairs and see how quickly they change there tune then :(

I've done that

They threatened to counter sue, and consumer affairs said i have to take it up to the next level because it has been 12 months now, im still finding things to fix, only JUST found the battery drain problem last month (it was the alarm which they installed)

Has anyone sued a car yard in a similar situation before?

I am 90% decided I will go down this road very shortly

lol. i fail to see what case they would have if they counter sue... judginy by what you said they've participated in illegal business practices

unless you signed some form of contract i dunno what they can counter sue you with

Well I dont think its legal to strip a car down, comply it, and they put the parts back on to sell it.

Im sure if they tried to comply it with the jap tires etc then it would not have passed, so how can they expect me to drive it like that if it would not comply.

The "counter sue" was just a bluff I expect, what can they sue ME for? being dumb enough to buy a car from them is all I can think of

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
