Hi everyone, my cousin wants to purchase an S15 at TGS Performance and i was wondering if anyone has had good to say about them? Are they a dodgy dealer?

Ive searched through other threads etc. and i cant find enough information. Your help is much appreciated :banana:

went there looking for supras - was taking my time with looking at the na and twin turbo....

the guy said "why are you looking for so long, there is nothing wrong with them!" then asked me what I wanted and i said i was in the market for NA, and he goes "then why are you looking at the twin turbo? you shouldnt be looking at hte twin turbo"

dont know what that was about - so i left in a hurry :banana:

just like buying any car, have it checked out by a panel beater or state roads before buying. read this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Do...ts-t234895.html to give you a better idea.

I gota family friend who worked at TGS Performance.

He does a very good job. So good service is what I can say.

Also I think they are dealing with USA Ford Mustangs along with JDM cars.

and boats 2

My and ex and I had a similar experience to eMsta when we were lookin for a JDM S15 for her. Talking to us like we were complete idiots and like we had no idea. Also seemed quite pushy too. So yeah we left, didnt bother coming back, despite being genuinely interested in one that they were selling...fully optioned too! Shame... :rolleyes:

YUP .. Boats are filthy cheap in Japan, alot tend to be sold to america , but on saying there cheap, they generally need a major clean on the hull.. re-fibreglassing and a paint (not cheap)

went there quite a few times when my mate was looking for an S15, guy was really nice, helpful etc. who was the one that was being a dick to you guys? the younger guy (30 something?) wog bloke, or the older guy (think its his dad?)

was an older looking guy actually VB. He didnt know that I had been researching supras for 2 years, but thought that if I was looking at an NA, i should be only looking at that, and not the twin turbos....but then again, most people think that i am a 20 year old these days (when infact I am 27) - maybe he thought i was 15, when infact I was 23 or something :ninja:

their cars do look clean though....

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
