pretty expensive (yard prices i mean). and one of the sales people there (indian bloke, dunno if his still there or not) is a total f*khead its liek his doign you a favour for him to talk to you. this was a far while back tho bout a year or so. but everyone else there other then that guy.. ive had good experiences with :(

got my 350gt through them

nice enough blokes to deal with

staffing issues at the time though. kept waiting to be called back from the dude dealing with my car (compliance and such) , finally cracked the shits and called them and was told errrr sorry, he no longer works here.

happened with two different staff members

but phils a nice enough guy. typical used car salesman

Guys, I find that generally, from reading the forums, you get more good feedback than bad feedback. I have been researching into the area of defamation recently, and it is quite evident why moderators often delete posts containing negative feedback.

The case of Ebay v Grace comes to mind for those who are interested.

2 years ago when i was looking at buying a R32 gtst they had one which i drove, nice clean car, but not worth the 17,990 price tag they were asking, black, 120kms, stock as a rock.....

Stupid me gave them my phone number and got harassing phone calls about the best deal ever, and dont miss it, and pushing me into buying it...

eventually they stopped calling after i told them to fark off. ended up buying a nicer 32 privately for 13....

18k for a 32, get farked

Bought my R33 from them 2 years ago. Never had a problem with the car.

I agree with what some people are saying about high prices, but you can bargain them down quite a bit depending on the car & if they really want (need) the sale.

Although... if you buy a car from them make sure everything works. When I picked the car up the cd player was stuffed. forgot to try the cd player during the test drive :P

other than that the car is in excellent condition. I always change the audio system from stock anyway.

dont really recommand that place, they seems always change staff?!

most of the cars there are bit pricy, compare with other dealer around it, i recommand sefs import, just cross the road, alot of positive comment..

I'm interested in learning more about the case you've cited. Is there any more info on the web or just google?

Thanks

My mate got his 180sx from Ginza. They have some nice cars but are WAY over priced!! I got my r33 from TOKYO IMPORTS, further up the road. Great guys, some pristine examples of nissans finest and a great price!! Speak to Alan, the manager. He knocked off $4g for me before i even started bargaining. And i got to choose from any wheels in the yard plus brand new mp3 player and cheap 3yr warranty. So yeah, top place to deal with.

Didnt like the service at all! took over a month to get my car which they said would be ready in a week.then they tell me "we complied the wrong car"....they also gave me a car in that time it took but no one knew i had it took 2 days to find that i had the car and they were only looking for it coz someone was buying it.

Thanks for the positive and negative feedback. Finding good people to look after customers is the key. One lousy salesperson can do alot of damage. The best solution? Employ less people - then you can then deal direct with the boss - Me! Phil Lee

got my car from them, they were willing to negotiate and i was able to get a really good price, better than i could get elsewhere. It depends on what your looking for, while some may seem overpriced, you can be pretty sure that the car is in better condition and better maintained than the cheaper ones. I got my R33 straight from Japan as a 2nd owner and had no problems, there were the same model cars over here, that had double the k's, worse condition and they were being sold for more....so you've jsut gotta look around like anything. Theres always a good deal to be found somewhere!

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
