Hi all,

as the heading suggests, I am looking for a place to have a car inspected prior to purchase. RAA inspections just don't cut it, so I went to Boostworx as I have read many good things about them. Boostworx will do a full safety inspection of the vehicle as well as compression test, but the problem is they can't inspect the vehicle for another 2 weeks!!

So does any have any other recommendations for having it inspected in the adelaide area? The car is located in the Eastern hills, so anywhere eastern suburbs or inner south would be good.

Have a look in the workshop listing sticky.

Graham West, Blackwood Auto & Dyno & Hitek dyno to name a few.

Yeah, sorry I had a quick look in there, but are they any good in relation to inspection? I know people have had work done there, just after some more opinions. cheers

Were you the guy looking for a 33 and you came into Boostworx one late arvo after work, about a week or so ago? think you were driving a pulsar???

I'd personally get Hi Tech or GW to do a check, either way they will be able to do the same check anyways! They will check it all out but obviously you will have the final say on the purchase as they cant give you a "yeh mate buy it....... it won't blow up!!"

GL with the search, and just remember to put some time into it and not buy the first one you like! besides there is alot of 33's out there for sale ATM!

Hey Delux,

Yeah that was me. I was in my wifes pulsar as she was driving my SP23 that day. I realise there are a lot of cars for sale out there, and I have been looking at the market for some time. After inspecting quite a few cars on the weekend, I have come accross a car which stood well above the others for condition of both body and interior, and that is why Im keen to move on it now. Thanks for the tips, will see how I go.

Cheers

Graham West have been relatively good to me in the past. I now use someone private but i have had a fair bit of work done there (and with the lemon i bought i mean a fair bit) they know what they're talking about only problem is that they do cost a bit p/h which builds up over a day.

if you're desperate, ask one or two of our SAU members to help you inspect

i'm sure they'd be delighted to help out a fellow member...maybe with a beer or two afterwards

imo

[Murry33]

nice skyline mate!!! omg your wheels look so much like mine!! looks clean as though

[Madaz]

very nice looking car

and a good start to a mod list too

just don't come here crying if you get defected because its a defectable car /tounge in cheek

[Absent]

Very nice and clean has an aggressive look to it but I have to recommend Car Toys to clean up the headlights, get rid of that 33 foggy headlight thing

Congrats on the purchase and Hi Tech dyno is a quality workshop John really knows skylines and how to treat them good luck with it

Thanks for the comments guys

Madaz: I'm very aware it's defectable, but fingers crossed as I try to stay out of trouble

TuffR32: Any idea for Car toys to do the headlight clean?

[Cubes]

The big killer is tint on the drivers/passenger windows and too low.

Anything lower than standard is illegally low. lol how motor reg suck.
