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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
