You would think someone with such a large company being on car magazines etc and being in the game for longer than others would try and hold some sort of rep with the skyline community which is or should i say was a large majority of your clientele. Guess not! trying to rip off some poor bloke for a few thousand bucks? :D

I know times are tuff! But common mate, you seemed like a fair bloke @ autosalon. But after reading this thread i wouldn't let you touch any of my mates cars with a 10 foot pool. You claim its a guinene s-tune, show us some proof? BTW were not all tossers! :banana:

Alright, so everyone is saying its not an S Tune, thats fine - its just that he is so adamant that the engine is a S Tune since it has the 'S' on the block number. The engine cover looks standard so I think he is full of BS too, or just misinformed.

Whatever the case this is all good info and will help me bargain down the price. I will get the front of the car checked out for previous accidents and he says that he will install the stock steering wheel with airbag. Also it will come with the stock airbox which means it should be defect free.

It has heaps of nismo parts but they seem to be just bolt-ons.

When I get a definitive result from someone who has FASTED the VIN and Engine No I will print this out and show him as proof.(He is just misinformed I assume). This should help give me some bargaining power during negotiations.

p.s at least we know its a genuine V-SPEC and that its colour is a genuine midnight purple.

ok we have all settled down a bit now ! this guy hasnt GTR PWR hasnt even seen this car and was asking for the price to suit his needs well below a R32 gtr car price ,he said he had crashed his current car and was looking to find another car but just couldnt come up with the rest , he asked for this car at 8 grand short of the price offered , please understand while i now was avoided this guy as his is a time waster , id rather spend it with my wife than talking to some idoit that cannot afford a v -spec R33 gtr and had a budget of a R32 gtr its a v- spec r 33 ovoiusly most people can assure a R33 and being a v- spec in the not so common colour purple is a rare colour as you dont see much around and is the colour to find for a serious buyer , this car came from Japan with all the equipment fitted and options ,as the advert states it has a different engine than the one fitted when sold new so thats why NISSAN FAST cannot pick up that it had a engine change , i do run a work shop in melb west called OH performance and have worked on over hundreds of gtr s and seen many good examples of these cars in my life

Jim you are a blatantly lying and you didnt want to meet up becuase you knew I had exposed your attempt to rip off honest people.

Everything you say is worthless, and your businesses reputation now lays in ruins.

Needless to say all of the above is false and irritates me so much because all I wanted was to buy quickly and hassle free. After all this, you still refuse to apologise for how you treated me, and continue to make false accusations.

Honestly Jim, you have a lot to learn about business and how to treat people. You falsely advertised this vehicle and I have actually contacted the ACCC and reported you. I have kept all of your abusive and misleading messages sent from you as well. These will be passed on and supplied as evidence of your shady tactics to the ACCC.

Also this story and post has been reported to A Current Affair, hopefully the whole of Australia will see your shady business tactics.

Thanks mate, yeah I am just so grateful for this online community.

It has saved me on numerous occasions, and easily saved me thousands of dollars.

had this bloke just advertised it as a normal 1995 V-spec gtr.... and maybe even thrown a std. airbag steering wheel back in it...

not to mention not trying to spin bullshit, he would have probably sold it by now and retained what ever reputation he once had!

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
