That still doesn't excuse the fact that you + a mechanic (if you aren't one yourself) + a person familiar with panelbeating/repairs shouldn't go in as a team with finetooth combs.

Powerplay

You beat me to it mate.

+ ME

Powerplay have been bringing in these cars for years. Joanne knows her stuff. Don't just look at there website,,,ring her. She's a cool chicky.

Tell her Neil with the Radical told you to ring.

They have tons of contacts and while a stocker may be hard to find,,she might just have one of her ex-sale car customers interested in selling.

theres a good r34 importer???? There all the same, its a big lucky dip, sometimes good and sometimes bad, if they do get a bad car comming in, they arn't going to send it back. On the whole the guys mentioned bring in decent conditioned cars but keep an open mind.

Ive heard good and bad stories from all the companies mentioned above (some are from prsonal experience and others are from friends and other forum threads dedicated to good/bad experiences with these guys). Don't worry too much about the dealer, look more for how the car drives, how it sounds, how it feels.

At the end of the day they are used car dealers and will peddle anything that they are stuck with, so really you should go out and see these guys ,but cut out the crap that comes from their mouths and make your own decision. Warrantees are not worth the paper they are written on, and have plenty of extra cash lying around incase something stuffs up on your 10 or 11 year old r34, like a clutch is the main culprit, no one knows how long the clutch will last if they dont know the history, and they arnt cheap to replace.

If i were you i'd find cars forsale on SAU forum, then you have a history of what people have done to their cars, already published online, you can see if they maintain it, how they drive it, if its had any problems or any upcomming problems..... you can also talk to forum members who may know of the car and give feedback about it.

goodluck

End of the day keep an open mind, ignore what the dealers say, always haggle the price down, if you get a decent saving from excluding a warrantee then do that because they will fight tooth and nail to avoid a warantee job, besides they dont cover, tyres, belts, transmission, clutch ect..... and these are things that usually go wrong on the car. RB engines themselves are pretty reliable, everything else you can test the car to feel if it will have a problem later down the track (well atleast reduce the risk of buying a lemon).

very true.. each car really speaks for itself. the level of service is also important but i guess end of the day, they're there to make a sale still.

hey i'm not just a pretty face..... bought my car from a very small importer..... i din't care, aslong as the car was good. I could have bought it from satan himself, but if the car is in good condition, then theres nothing to worry about....

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
