dennis is a top bloke & tells you like it is. i know he doesnt buy from the auctions he has a guy in japan who checks out the cars locally and when the cars arrive he gets the front bars etc sprayed and detailed looking neat.

He is abit pricey but seems to have the goods, i nearly bought a gtr off him but it sold on the way there and it had to be the cleanest gtr i have ever seen.

I am yet to find another one (its been 2months now) in midnight purple ..such a hard color to find a r33 in !

all the best with the r34

bought both my 33 and 34 from dennis, top bloke, never had issues with either. both motors were modded and handled it prefectly. never had an issue. also hes always a great help if i was searching for replacement parts and odds and ends.

i bought my r33 gtst off Japcars. they seemed like good honest blokes, the car was stock but very very clean, it spoke for itself.

+1 on a bit pricey, but they did throw in my 100k service for free, and it's worth paying extra (compared to some of the other examples i had seen)

ps. what mustang do you have?

these guys are very good. my r32 gtst came from there. was one of the cleanest 32s i've ever come across. most of their cars that i have seen there are totally clean! good luck on the purchase

i bought my r34 from him and he was very good, it came with a couple mods on it which were great plus he changed the coilpacks with ones called supersparks because the originals were beggining to missfire. but unfortunatly these failed last month for some reason so i have splitfires now.

great guy id deal with him again in the future.

*raise hand* oh oh oh. I TOTALLY have the most recent experience.

My R33 Series 3 GT-R was bought from Dennis and the boys at JapCars. Had a minor incident with the AFM, and i stress, very minor, but they took care of it for me without a hassle the moment i brought it back in.

Personally i love it there, cars are all clean and quality, service is always friendly - both from Dennis and from the mechanics that work there.

Would definitely buy from them again.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
