Yeah saw the sign on the way past the other day... they've been there for as long as I can remember.

It'll be weird not seeing a whole stack of imports on the corner... a bit like it was weird when they went from selling Yank tanks and almost nothing but V8s (mate) to being virtually 100% turbo imports lol

WOW

I went past the other day and I didnt see a sign...

Thats a shame... I guess if it was due to the tunnel then they would just move the car yard...

If their not moving then one can only assume that their funds $$$$ are drying up.

i hear nothing but bad stories about street machines these days

last time i went there with a friend who was skyline shopping, the salesmen were rude, obnoxious, and stupid

salesmen? what salesmen? lol

i've been there a couple of times lately now (looking for cars for my brother) and you can't raise a salesman in that place if you try!

we were genuinely interested in a car, wanting to talk to them about it, and they couldn't be bothered leaving their little airconditioned office to come out and talk to us......

having said that, my '32 was bought through them by the previous owner back in 2001 (found the receipt in the car after i bought it, lol)

maybe they weren't making enough profit off all their Delicas? :(

also, are they having a 'closing down sale' where i can get a car cheap? :P

I for one am glad. Not allowed to post opinion on the forums but my glee should show how I feel.

Now if only a couple other car yards would close down I'd be the happiest man around.

Heres to closing down, and not just relocating :P

we managed to root one out by checking out a 34gtr they had on display

"hey guys get out of the car and don't touch it"

f**k youuuuuuuuuuuu

i was there looking at buying the gunmetal GTR , the sales guy youngish bloke was rude and didnt really bother .. Theo on other had is a awsome bloke too bad he has crappy sales guys working

otherwise nice cars he has .. his brother Darren has nicer cars

John thats crap, it is going to be at the hospital as I have had dealings in this project. they are looking at running it down from buranda as well but if you notice they have bought a substanual amount of land in the area to facilitate this.

I know for a fact that the tunnel goes under the Boggo Road site as one of Mrbenno's friends is the engineer in charge of ensuring the Heritage listed buildings at Boggo Road are not effected.

dodgy imports?

u guys must have been doing it wrong

they sold us our car, and it hasnt missed a beat in over 3 years

i would go as far as to say, its the best thing ive ever bought

sooooo much joy, no negative stuff

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...
