would be interesting to see if the cops had another blitz on import yards, how many would remain in the lot without a yellow canary......not knowing the product that you're selling is just no excuse for apparent ignorance (cops would agree)......they could be selling you a ticking bomb

In our meeting with Neil, this topic was raised by Neil himself. He understands we buy cars and initially are not aware of mods done. Neil also understands that some car yards do blatantly lie to buyers/browsers. They are completely aware of this.

Anyone hear the owner of REVS this morning on Nova?

He was saying how when he won tix to the VIP area for the Clipsal 500, and got introduced to Mike Rann, he asked him about the drag strip in Adelaide, why the land is withheld by the government, etc.

Mike Rann's response: "I never new any of this? I'll get onto it."

Right, so he never new that we've all been complaining for 5 years to get a drag strip in Adelaide? No worries, Mr. Rann.

he shouldnt have been allowed to attend the function, since he is so against motosports???..lol,, wish someone would have pulled him up in front of the TV cameras to ask that question to him..lol

Motorsports brings in big money, when will they figure it out and cash in on it? instead of pushing it to the back burner all the time

(get rann out of his bubble in bullshite castle to see what adelaide wants)

the Tour down under and lance brought in heaps, and now I was reading there thinking of dropping the stage 5 races in Aldinga due to cost to run security etc? idiots , worldwide advertising for minimal cost ??? when the economy is tight you get free world advertising on TV,,hmmmmm fools

Yes but they'd 'clean up the car' to get them through the ID check, remove the non-standard parts, etc. It's also a part of compliance, but they usually install the modded parts back on after compliance.

And I know for a fact, Synergy respray their cars that they import and remove all the dents, dings, etc prior to putting the car into their car yard - hence the slightly higher price, even if the respray is a single layer affair.

I saw the cars off the container they come in rough as hell, and they only do as little as possible to sell them off.

Mine had a chip respray on the nose, lousy job too and the worse detail on the planet.

most dealers do a respray on the nose of cars, for chips. but very few do a dent removal. new windshield if pitted or chipped yes, because of its a safety issue.

Sinergy ,,dont get me started ..lol thats where my GTT is from, mistake!!

hello consumer affairs..lol

Penny , old saying, If the salemens lips are moving, there lying !!!!. never take the word of a dealer, get it in writing and get a copy

and dont tell them you have a trade in till you find out the best cash price, so they cant work the numbers in there favor? yes I sold cars for Mazda and Volvo for a short time when I got out of navy.. couldnt live with myself selling rubbish to people.

no offence Iron Chef, not everyone is dodgy , But the majority are, Penny find a trust worthy shop and stick with them, ask lots of people where they bought cars and for feedback, save you a lot of driving around to view rubbish or abusive sales people

Cheers,

Honestly wish it was easier to turbo mine :down:

Oh well, im in no rush.

I wouldnt buy a car from a car yard in the first place.

I bought my car of a geek. Said he didnt really like cars in the end. He was respectable. He couldnt afford the car. awesome.

Id have a look at some private cars. talk to the person. get some general idea of what the person is like.

he shouldnt have been allowed to attend the function, since he is so against motosports???..

Not 100% on this, but wasnt Rann the one who endorsed the clipsal 500 going ahead in the first place? I never thought he was the anti-motorsport type at all.

Hoons are a different story

:down: is it really that hard to think for ourselves these days not just aimed at you mitch the amount of questions i see on there boards because people dont read wont open the phone book or cant be bothered gets tiresome

Hey steve, my balls are itchy.... how do I make the itch go away?

-D

Penny i had a similar problem with a yard a few years back (Sensible's) Guy seemed too pushy for my liking, as in he brought the car to my place fot a test drive ;) Rear tyres were bald, aftermarket silicone hose in engine bay, heavy duty clutch, the list goes on. Things just didn't add up! Ex missus put a deposit down, but then changed her mind on it (just seemed dodgy)Was threatened with legal action for pulling out of the sale and all. Went down and fronted the owner of the yard, had another look over the car and asked to see compliance/rego papers. Seems they had been miss placed :ermm:

Managed to get out of the shit by pointing out he was trying to sell an uncomplianced and un roadworthy car (bald tyres and no compliance sticker), said if he wanted to persue it further he had alot more to lose than me. Never heard anymore about it :D

So in all just be careful, unles they can provide you with history of some sort or a damn good warranty i wouldn't be buying from them.

That's a thought, Penny why don't you give Kristian a try......might have to wait a bit longer for a car but it would be at a reasonable price and not hidden by a layer of cover-up paint and you won't get the spin doctor treatment either.

My mum always said 'son ask silly questions and you'll get a silly answer'

guess what she was right

Mum's are great....mines in her 70's and still wiser than me.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
