My experience at SEI went like this: I put down a deposit on this car there, S2 R33 GTST, I did RACV inspection and it came back as amber (caution). There were oil leaks and some other problems with the car, some small, other seemed bigger. I asked John (SEI owner) to fix up the oil leak as well as any other problems the car has. He agreed and a week later I did the second RACV inspection that cost me another 150 or so bucks. The report came back pretty much unchanged, the car was still leaking oil like mad and I was frustrated. John kept haggling me to buy it and claiming the car is spot on and nothing wrong with it.

In the end I didnt get the car, I lost $250 on deposit (only got half of my 500 bucks and had to virtually fight for it on the phone for a day) and bought my car from SSV!

SSV was awesome! Family business with great Aussie blokes who know cars and help you buy cars, not force any on you.

Do not post negative information/expiriences.

ITs totally one sided, and not acceptable in anyway.

How many times do i have to tell you people?

The rules are as clear.

You people who have done so, you have 24hours to edit posts or you'll be warned.

Do it again, you'll be banned

SIMPLE

SSV and kamikaze are good places from what i've seen. i did some short term work at SEI.... i recomend going to SSV or kamikaze, im not saying SEI is bad, just those places are realllyyyy good

R31nismoid, why cant people share their experiences? if you wanted to go buy a car from a shop, that when you walk in the front door you get punched in the face, wouldnt you wanna know about it before going in there? its information i'd say was pretty damn important, and i would rather get punched in the face then buy a dog of a car.... knowing what kinda cars places sell are pretty important.

What part of the Board Rules/Guidelines dont you understand?

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...?act=boardrules

Thats basically the only issue here as the board rules are exceptionally clear, and you clearly are unable to understand them. So my hands are tied. You agree when you signed up, nothing more i can do if you dont understand.

Please PM me to discuss if you have any more issues as this thread is going off course.

This isnt your forum/public forum, and board members are bound by the rules.

Thats all you need for the address mate. You can't miss them. They have a petrol servo type roof and a white fence. Not too far past Chadstone going out of the city.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
