Thanks for the replies all.

I have been around to a few yards and just by talking to them you get to know what they are on about.

There are a few yards I would NEVER go back to, ever again.

At least Tuff Toys have been open, honest and upfront with costs, times and viewing the car. (I have not driven it, nor do I want to, yet)

Heck, some yards I went to did not even bother talking to me. (Yup, I'll go to the yard in T-Shirt, shorts and thongs)

Thats how I have bought 12 or so brand new cars (And our house) If they treat me right, I will buy a car from them, if not, they just lost a cash paying customer!

So far the folks at Tuff Toys have been decent to me and the wife.

The only thing the wife is a little worried about is warrenty on a $40,000 Skyline.

PS: For all those who have offered me in private their own cars, thankyou for your time. (The wife has decided she likes this car, and all those who are married will know that when your partner puts her foot down concerning cars, it's final.)

Besides, who would argue about a R34, black with only 10,000 kays on the clock? (And yes, looks like it too!)

Dragon - youre just whipped :rolleyes:

As an aside - It doesnt matter where you buy your car, it could break down on the way home, mechanical things fail, and the car yard may have had sufficient mechanical work done on the car, but if its working, you cant fix it. If it breaks on the way home, it wasnt broken when they had it, and you cant always blame the mechanic/car yard. Sometimes you can.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.

      Was the car running before he touched the car?
