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:

I swear, I have never been more entertained then I have tonight, firstly this thread has to be the best ever, and the other was Luckiee getting banned in another thread....

GTR-PWR good on you for questioning him and doing your research before buying a GTR. What a rat, I can't believe this dickhead is still in business.

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.

and too think all this could have been avoided if some proof of the claims had have been produced ie paper work reciets of the so called engine ect ect . i would reckon a fair bit of his clientelle would be thru internet forums ...........not now tho poor show i reckon

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!

i just LOL every time i read this thread... obviously jim hasn't got a clue about business and customer relations...

hopefully not many noobs will get ripped off by this shonky business... and there would be quiet a few noobs that would fall for the "its a nismo engine broo ulehh"

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
