Looking at buying a V.35 through these guys and was wondering if anybody has used them.

I used them. The owner is a decent guy.

Bought a Stagea of him and flew from Adelaide into Sydney to collect, after we spoke on the phone and the emailed me all the details of the stag coming over from Jap. Turned out to have a dud starter motor, but he threw in a new one while I waited. Even gave me and the missus another (loan) car for the 2 hours to go shopping and pass the time.

It was a headache to break down in the heart of Sydney. But he organised a tow back and did everything he could to make it up to me. Including callling in his mechanic on his day off. All his cars are properly complianced and serviced before leaving the yard. He does all the paperwork and rego stuff, so I didn't have to do a thing.

I'd deal with him again :P

Bought mine from Alex. Great guy to deal with. Sent me detailed photos and descriptions including auction reports. I was so confident with the dealings that I purchased my V35 without physically seeing the car...car was delivered to Brisbane as described and have never been happier.

Hi Turbo,

I nearly bought one off them too

how much did you end up paying for your v35? and what specs?

I visited them also, they seemed pretty legit. I've asked a few people about them, and eveyone seems to think they are good to deal with, any problems people have had, have been solved.

cheers,

Danny

paid 35k its got the lot 6spd dvd cd mini disk climate duel zone air just love the car

yeah n15m0 that was me the put up the post when i was lookin to buy one but as you

Hi Guys,

Yeah got my sedan from Alex, very helpful and friendly.

Had a transmission prblem which took it off my hands for a week but they paid the $3k to fix it.

I would definately by another car from them.

Cheers

What was wrong with your transmission ?

This is a bit of a grey area as the car is supposedly a 5sp Auto but when I picked the car up from the mechanic directly, he showed me the part and said it was the magnetic cluth in the CVT. YES he said it was CVT so I am confused.

Anyway its all good now, a spring had gone in the magnetic clutch and it just made an annoying tapping sound from about 1500 - 2000 revvs.

Cars perfect now and smooth as to drive.

Cheers

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
