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

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
