I was driving past a car yard in Wollongong on saturday and noticed a r33 gtst in the yard that had the Kakimoto wide body kit(cant remember correct name). We got into a little discussion about the car which was a bright monza red type colour, i commented that i didnt think it was a standard colour to which he assured me it is but since i wasnt 100% sure i didnt try to prove him wrong. Then the next one, i commented that it would be hard to sell at the $60,000k sticker price in my opinion bcause these days yopu can get a very nice GTR for that price. The rest of the convo went like this:

Salesman: No you cant

Me: Umm, yes you can.

Salesman: no, you cant get an R33 GTR, the GTR skipped a generation, there are only R32 and R34 GTRs.

Me: What are you talking about, of course there is.

Salesman: Look i have been in the business for 25 years and have been selling nissans since before you were born and there has never been an r33 GTR.

I gave up at that point as he was getting a bit fired up. Earlier on he had told me he also has the blue R34 Gtr that ran second in this years targa tasmania for sale but not in the yard because its to heavily modified. Correct me if im wrong but wasnt steve glenney's White R33 the car that came second?

I have lost count with the amount of times i have had rediculous conversations like this with car salesmen. Surely if you want to be good a good saleman you should know what you are selling and not be a dickhead.

I don't know what to say!!!

I don't know what you guys expect from a used car salesman,,,,You are all wrong,,,Just ask him. Figjam comes to mind.

Everyone of them I've ever worked over the last 20 years has been a complete and absolute clown,,,,. Enough said

Most car salesman are like this. And the sad thing is, he will probably get close to his advertised price when the right sucker comes along. The stereotype of the idiot used car salesman is self-perpetuating. They talk a LOT of shit and make up stuff on the spot to everyone, and eventually a fool with a lot of money comes by and gets snared. So the tactic works. I guess the buyers of cars in these situations deserve it.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
