I believe I know the dealer you are talking about as I had a fairly average time at one of the dealers on Parra Rd. They tried to push me way too hard to buy something after a test drive. He wouldnt even let me drive it unless I put $XX so he drove it himself, flogged the living crap out of it and smoked seconds down the back street!!

On the other hand, I bought my car from Tokyo Imports on Parra Rd. Good guys and were more than happy to help :)

I almost bought my car from there but found one slightly better somewhere else. Tokyo had alot of r32's to choose from but only 1 with sunroof. Salesman was decent too.

Yeah mate. They were top guys. They also had a good selection of 32's in there when I bought mine. Mine was the only blue one :)

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

Exactly

Did the sales rep grab your hand and force you to sign the paper? At the end of the day there are good sales reps and bad ones, ive met some shockers, but never met one that forced the customer to sign a page.

As the customer, you hold all the power during bargaining.

Interesting thread.

When i went R33 shopping i went to several Parra Rd dealers. Two in Granville, one had a decent and friendly sales rep, let me go for a test drive without fuss, and let me go when i had a thrash without any problems. Across from him another dealer wouldn't even start the car (which was a very sh!tty example of an R33) unless i paid a deposit.

He asked to do business, so we walked to his office and had discussed my finances, employment record, budget and what colour undies i was wearing.

I left without even driving the bomb. A week later i saw the exact same candy R33 (recognisable by the rims) with the owner standing beside it on the road and the hazards on. Sigh.

I remember seeing the exact same candy colour on an S15 at the yard...does the guy buy smashed imports and respray them himself? Anyway...

Went to another dealer in Burwood that i bought one off, he was full of crap too (every single dealer, bar the first one, lied and wanked on like i'm some idiot. One guy even said "the series 1 has more power than series 2 R33". I said, "Well, no, series 2 has more power mate". He went quiet.)

I saw past all his lying and gave the car a comb over, test drive, and went home and thought about it. I came back and signed for it, not regretting it since. But my lesson is not to be intimidated by some of these cons, to walk away (i did about 6 times) and hold your cards close.

Let the car speak for itself, not the lying bullsh!t artist who wants to get rid of his lemons.

Power to the ppl.

I remember the first dealer i went to look for my R34, it was on parra rd as well. He wouldn't let me test drive a car that i had looked at on the car website, unless i was willing to buy. In short he gave me his whole life story, story about the company blah blah blah.

The funny thing was, the car was stated as being a GT-T, but when i looked inside the interior, it did not have the centre guage cluster (i'm sure only turbo had the centre cluster and the non turbo had nothing).

The last thing i said to him was 'No test drive, i won't recommend and i won't come back'

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

Yep that's where I bought my R34 GT-T sedan (5 speed manual), which are quite rare in manual.

The car was absalutely immaculate (as most of their cars are), they put no pressure on me, and I got a very good price. I wouldn't say their expensive at all. I saw many other 2 doors on Parramatta Rd for much higher prices.

And what's more I went back about a month later and they gave me a straight swap of the factory wheels for a set of 17" enkei alloys. Can't ask for more than that!!!!

As far as this signing contracts thing goes... recalling from legal studies in yr11; if they so much as mark the page and tell you to "sign here" - it legally voids the contract, as you are simply complying with a request or something :dry:

it may be wrong... if so, sue the nsw gov. for giving false information in schools system >_<

lol check out his sig,

he's only typing it "hardstylez" Hardstylez babii!! :blush:

Hi mate, I know exactly which dealership u r talking about! same thing happened to me, and i know the guy also! seems to be daddys dealership. I did get my "lazy hundred" back after a few months of calling 1-2 times a week. apparently his receptionish was sick for that period. I could contact him tho which was not soo bad.

These guys are dodgy. They tried to get me to buy an r32 with scratches all over it saying 'but its original paint'.

"Well, considerin' the semi-classical nature of the vee-hickal with the slick wheels and the custom paint job....."

"Wait, the paint's faded!"

"Yeah, but its custom."

"Its custom faded?"

"Well its your first car, I wouldn't expect you to understand."

Somehow, I doubt that the R32 you were looking at would turn out to be a giant robot that turns itself into an R35 GT-R when the hot chick you've had a crush on says it looks like a piece of shit......

    • 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?
