all those problems seem very minor. shouldn't cost ya 2 much to fix. im my experiance car yards are not the way to go.

thats not the point mate, he shouldnt have to pay for all that.

how he sold you a lemon in the 1s place is beyond me. did u check the car n ne way?

i also think this "cant name the business" rule is bs. although i know why its a rule its still bs

I agree, its ridiculous that this site tries to protect the (seemingly) corrupt.

If someone has a bad experience they should let others know, just like if they have a good experience.

Any legitimate car dealerships would prefer this as they would get the business they deserve for being legitimate.

yeah well i already cast my view on it... really i think its quite soft. It doesnt seem to be policed much when it comes to non performance shop type businesses either... which is pretty gay but what can you do.

So go to another forum.

It isnt your forum, its ours. We run it how we like, and in such a way that ensures the site stays without any threats of being shutdown.

If you dont like it, tough.

And Ni, what threads do you speak of? Im not aware of any.

if they supplied you with a roadworthy certificate, and if anything doesnt comply with roadworthy standards THEY HAVE TO FIX IT for you and if they dont all you need to do is report it and they will get a HUGE fine, and then random checks on some of there previous road worthied cars, then if they fail, they loose there roadworthy issuing thingy, and lots more fines for them and they have to pay to bring all the cars that failed to road worthy standard

theres always someone on here complaining about something... ie. the thread not long ago which named and pin pointed the location of a particular servo out near my joint that was selling dodgey fuel. There have been threads which i could probably dig up naming bad service and shit food in restaurants... not McDonalds or big chains, but smaller ones which under the definition of this rule could hamper their business.

maybe we could make an addition like "If you comment on your good encounters with a workshop then your not allowed to mention its name"

lol

but like i said... what can ya do. Its the rules and theyre already in place JUST IN CASE. Better to be safe then sorry... live with it.

EDIT::

BTW when you say

It isnt your forum, its ours.

Whos ours? the admins? ze germans? the star wars nerd affiliation?

hey i bought a f**ked r34gtt from #some-place# live in alice the control arm was the wrong 1 the brakes was glazed ther was an oxy burn to the left front rim they installed a front mount and dident bolt it down and the turbo blue within 2 weeks and all the paint is flaking of the front bumper

:: edit'ed by paulr33 ::

we can't allow workshops to be named unfortunately

Hate to say this but did you get a mechanical inspection done before you handed the money over? Did you agree in writing on the condition of the car? If not, you should have.

Most of those things should be covered under the warranty that you get when buying any car from a dealer, so give them a call. But really you should have already known about them before you bought the car:

Didnt you see the oxy burn?

Didn't you feel something wrong with the steering/suspension when you test drove it?

Did the FMIC kit you bought come with supports? Did you check that it had them when you picked the car up?

Its Christians forum as you are well aware :D

And we Admin people help him keep it in order.. just like zee Germans!

If you see a thread thats slamming someone, there is a button called "report"

Use it :huh:

I try to read most threads across most sections, but... sometimes i cant.

Interesting that you registered on here a day or so before you posted.

Did you not think it would be a good idea to register on here and ask questions relative to buying a Skyline prior to putting your money down?

I also think it would not be to much to expect some photographic evidence to substantiate your claims. Both before and after.

I would be willing to bet every member on here would have almost worn the paint off photographing their Skyline the day after they bought it. :D

Its too easy to defame a business with nothing more than someones unsubstantiated claims however valid they may or may not be.

If valid I certainly hope you get compensated! - Go to VCAT WITH photos.

So true.

Imagine if you owned a business selling Skyline parts/cars and you didnt give some knob the 50% discount they want so they crack a teary and come on here detailing how they were treated so "unfairly"

The same effect can be achieved by focusing on who the good, recommended workshops and car yards are.

and if that happened we'd all just laugh and slap him with a wet fish...

cause wet fisheses hurts more... SLAP!

oh the imagery

Car warranties from used dealers are generally not worth the paper they're printed on, esp when it comes to skylines because as soon as you mod the car, your warranty is generally void.

You really ought to read the fine print in detail before letting a warranty sway your opinion or 'seal the deal' etc.

Most of the time they will find a way to get out of fixing your car.

Its Christians forum as you are well aware :)

And we Admin people help him keep it in order.. just like zee Germans!

Agreed, and I don't see anyone offering to pay or chip in for the costs/settlement when Christian gets sued for slandering a business.

I would also like it to be a free world where everyone can tell their side of the story and thus avoid making the same mistake but it's ultimately Christians' financial security at risk.

As soon as you let one person have a free for all and hope nothing comes of it, everyone will want to do it... much easier to draw the line and stick to it.

I'll just stick to PM's, phone calls and chatting in person when I want to have a whinge.

Even then the amount thats covered is often very limited.

A car dealer tried to offer warranty when i was looking around for my 32GTR. But when you have a good read of it, the motor is only covered upto $1000 worth. Im no expert, but im willing to bet that a rebuild of my motor would cost alot more than $1000 should something go wrong....:)

    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
