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.

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!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
