Hey Guys

As the title says, i'm going to throw out a warning about <NAME REMOVED>. He is a Japanese importer located on Parramatta Road. All that i have to say that the salesman who delt with me was shonty. He pressured me into buying one of the cars like crazy and wouldnt even let me drive it back to the dealership without me first putting down a "lazy hundred". the dealer made me sign what i thought was a holding deposit slip but turned out to be a contract of saleship. the salesman's name was <REMOVED>. This in turn was pretty sad, but what is worse is that when i tried to collect my holding deposit, he refused to give it to me there and then. But claimed he would send me a check, now two weeks later, no check has arived.

I just want to warn other people about how this lot works. I brought my car from another dealership. during payment i asked him about the period of time before i am locked into a contract. The scary thing is that, after telling him my tale, without naming the dealership or salesman, he guessed the dealership and got the salesman's name in two guesses.

Just a warining to people that this dealership isnt the best to work with, especially if you're just looking around. however i am sure that there would be people out there that have had good experiences with them.

Cheers Guys

advise, contact fair trading and report the person and dealer ship.. false documentation and explaination of a document voids contract anyway.

record conversations in future if you cannot get a written recording.

I've had another dealer try an do this to me on parramatta rd. After a pre-purchase inspection showed the car was no good i asked for my $100 back but they refused. I jus sat there until they eventually gave in and swapped the inspection report for my 100.

It was something i didn't want to do as they could band aid fix all the problems on the report and sell it to the next sucker.

Do u have a copy of what u signed?

Id certainly be going to fair trading.

Although, if you thought you were being pressured into it all, why didnt you walk away?

If you havent got your cheque back, just keep going back every day!

The guys here are correct. I work in Marketing and under the Fair Trading / Trade Practices Act what he did is illegal. I find that if I tell people like that I know my rights and they had better shape up or I will report. Know the process. You have to give them a chance to correct the situation before you can appeal. But if they mislead you then you have the right to notify the appropriate trade office.

Hope it all worked out for you.

My sentiments exactly,

I'm in no way condoning or defending the salesman's actions, but if you felt that you were being dealt with inappropriately why didn't you just say no and walk away? It must have been a very decent example you were looking at purchasing for you to put up with the salesmans antics because if it happened exactly the way you said it did then that's very dodgey

Hope it works out for you

A salesman on parra road tried to sell me an r34 GT that had been turbocharged, passing it off as a GT-T, you only had to look past the cheap chromies to see the pussy little non turbo brake setup, was even asking the same amount of money as a genuine GT-T aswell! :banana:

Yea i understand where everyone is coming from and i agree. i should have told him to go f**k himself and other such words, but i had taken the car for a test drive and he wouldnt get back into the car without me handing over the money. Was a crock of shit. The funny thing is i would have brought the car had he not been so pushy, i did like it but he turned me off it. that and it really didnt go that well.

The other dealership where i brought my car, the salesman there lodged a complaint against him for me. claiming that i was mis lead and that tactict like that were hurting his buisness by giving them all a bad name. Agree 100% with him. Anyway i will just have to see how it all turns out. doubt i will get my money back though from what ive heard from other people who have had similar problems.

We need people power i think. Everyone who has had a problem with them should all get together and lodge a formal complaint. Then perhaps the right people will start to take notice and try and fix the problem.

forum rules don't allow you to name the car dealer. please use pm only

Why cant i use there name? Im trying to warn people about what seems to be a common problem. dont we have the right to know about such dealers, so that people dont keep getting screwed by them? i think in an instance like this the name is appropriate but i guess rules are rules. If anyone wants to know, pm me and i shall tell

As I said, just keep going back there day after day, just sitting in their yard - they'll get the shits soon enough and say "I'll leave when I get my $$$ back f*kkers" :banana:

Or if the cars are unlocked - just keep sitting in them, lock yourself in! :down: haha

nah j/k - dont want you to get into trouble!

you can name names, just not publicly, in case they see this and start suing the forum. Hence the reason they suggested PM.

Ah yeah, I know who he's talking about with 1 guess... very pushy and very full of shit.

I don't expect sales folks to know 'every' thing about their product inside out, but these jokers are like talking to a know it all dipshit teenager and just don't understand "no", they do however understand "f**k-off-ee"

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
