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.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
