I sort of got presured into a sale, in that instant tho I knew it would be best to put conditions on the sale as when they started it they had to jump start it.. already meant it had been sitting a long time.

Drove like crap too.. you learn I got my cash back after I faxed them a copy of the report, they basically listed the car as crap.

fair trading instructed me I was in the wrong as in the conditions all I said was "pending inspection of vehicle" and they said the conditions had not been clear enough and in future I had to say something like "pending inspection of vehicle where the customer was happy with outcome of inspection, if not contract will be terminated and money refunded" so next time ill take a lawyer :S

yea id probably get something similar to that if i went thru fair trading. such is life i guess

Figjam, in the past businesses that have been named in a negative light have threatened to sue the forum's owner. regardless of whether threads like these are correct, factual etc etc or not we now do not allow the business to be named to make sure christian doesn't spend his life hiring lawyers.

feel free to post positive or negative experiences, just don't openly name the business if it was negative.

Hey

i got my R33 from these guys and they are cool and there cars seem topshelf to me.

maybe abit pricey (they will bargin), but you only get what you pay for.

parra rd is dodgy at the best of times, for anything.

thats my 2 cents

These guys are dodgy. They tried to get me to buy an r32 with scratches all over it saying 'but its original paint'. Had few minor dents too. He said he would get a sunroof and everthing i wanted installed if i put a deposit down. He had me there for about 45mins trying to sell me a car. I gave him unrealistic demands he was trying to meet but couldnt. I have to say, if he got me a r32 gtr for $14,000 ,i would have taken it. The place where i actually got my car from (on parra rd too) wasnt much better, but they had the car i wanted so i had to deal with the devil to get it. When they said its the cleanest you will find, they were right in this instance, lol.

I second what Rio had to say. We get what we paid for sometimes.

I also purchased my car from NSP and paid a little more but I'm still happy about the car.

Damn I do need new headlights....if you know anyone with a pair!

=D that's where I went too, great fellas.

if you want to know the name of the place, PM the thread starter. if you want to try and subvert the rules by all means do it but you will end up with a temp ban again. d'oh.

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>.

Was he holding a gun to your head?

No one can pressure you into anything. It'll be ok, pumpkin. I'm here for you. Hugz?

I have to say, if he got me a r32 gtr for $14,000 ,i would have taken it.

Really?

I wouldn't.

It'll last a few weeks, maybe a month and u're in for a rebuild.

If you're going to buy a 32 gtr, spend the extra and get a rebuilt one to save yourself the pain/hassles. Otherwise you're just digging a hole and jumping head first into it. (im experienced at this).

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • 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?
