yer the ones on parra rd. They seemed to be well informed and pretty straight forward but after that incident regarding the supra im having doubts.

visiting their warehouse was the clincher for me,I was turned off for a couple of reasons I think we spent about 10mins there and left.

Not saying all their cars would be duds, but shop wisely and don't fall in love if you do see something that interests you there.

ohh i see whats goin on.. all imports and japlink are separate dealers.. all imports simply moved from their dodgy warehouse to either renting or possibly bought the space right next to japlink that used to be owned by japlink.. i remember when i looked at my car there at japlink i walked into all imports and the guy came up to me and was like can i help you, i said i already talked to your other guys (at japlink) and he said they were separate dealers... far as i know japlink does all their compliance work as well as some of edward lees..

i will add however that my dad bought his 4dr V from all imports and everyone is impressed with not only the car but the condition..

what was it that turned you off?

Someone else told me to just go look myself as they wouldn't offer an opinion.

So I went and looked at a car I was interested in, the car itself I was over it after one lap of it, and there was a lot more interesting stuff going on elsewhere in the place, a chat here or there and the confirmation in another threads thats where the Supra came from and reading on evolutionoz, I was out of the place didn't want to take the risk given their history. If you want specifics just pm me.

yer the skyline ive been eyeing at their dealership looks straight n clean but due to their history im having doubts.

I also asked for the auction sheet or any documentation from japan and their like the car was bought from a dealer in japan so theres nothing like that.

He seems confident about the condition of the car thoough saying if u want someone to inspect it i can get someone n it will be done at his warehouse, but to me its all dealer talk.

I like the car as its got the full leather seats n brembos but is it a risk worth taking is something i gotta ask myself.

be sure to check all the fine print on the extended warranty. Many warranties on the market only cover a set amount, ie only $1000 for the engine, $500 for electrics. And they require you to get the serviced by a shop every 3 months.And if you need to make a claim, they make you take it one of their authorised repairers and they charge you for a quote on the repair. Then if the agent confirms the item is faulty they send the paperwork to the warranty company. Then you gotta wait for them to approve it.

Why don't you import yourself from an auction?

then you will have auctions sheet, hopefully Log book and spare keys!!!

all you have to do is convert Fm

I bought a V35 off Allimports/Japlink last week, allowed me to have any tests I wanted done to the car, were more than helpful. The car is as you would expect for a 5 year old car from Japan, has some marks /small repairs but overall very good condition.

Cheers

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
