I have a n/a r33 im buying a gtst engine to put in it and im Hunting down a Apexi pfc.

Ive found 1 brand new for $1300 delivered, here's the deal.

The guy/shop "From overseas" has told me when i buy it i get 12month manufacturer warrenty, so when i purchase it from him to keep the reciept

and if anything goes wrong to send it back to him with the receipt and he will forward it to apexi, who will look over it and make sure its not tampered with

and repair it for free of charge.

he also told me that the pfc only works with a manual rb25det r33 transmission's is this normal cause he said thats how they are?

but what im worried about is, should i buy it from this guy for $1300 and get this "apexi warrenty" or should i pay $2000 from aus?

IF something was faulty i know ide have to send it to him and so forth,

BUT

IF i bought it from AUS would i get a 12month straight up replacement warrenty or ide still have to ship it off to apexi?

btw he already told me the part # and i googled it and its the correct 1 for my model car.

Theres plenty of people selling 2nd hand ones here for that price or better why bother going from overseas, I wouldnt be to concerned with the warranty because I wouldnt expect to see it again for a long time if you sent it back to him and besides the ecus are high grade they are not known for breaking so my advice just pay 1100-1300 mark over here from someone

yeah fair enough, ive tried looking on this forum everynight for the past 2 weeks now and i can find 1 that hasnt already been sold...

i dont need the commander... only the pfc but if 1 comes along with both ide still take it.

would u buy it from overseas though cause it is new?

if i got it from someone on here i wouldnt get any warrenty at all,

so as u said they dont brake so wouldnt it be fine to buy it from him and not worry about the warrenty?

but if someone knows somebody who is selling one could u please pm me otherwise im going to have to buy from this overseas dude...

i just dont wanna get left with some peice of poop :rant:

Someone that is overseas is not bound to honour any warranty at all.

Given they are not under Australian law

yeah i didnt think so, but he said on any brand new apexi product u get your manufacturers warrenty so it is apexi who would be giving the warrenty or am i missing something here?

cause i was just about to buy it since i thought ill get a brand new 1 from overseas with or without warrenty ( cause its new ) for $1300 delivered

or

get a second hand 1 from joe blow in aus for $1300 with no warrenty aswell?

what do u think cause im tossing up which 1 to do... ive asked a few friends and its pretty much even but

you guys on here would have more experience then them so please give me your thoughts on what to do

If your just after the ecu without the controller youll find people here selling for 1000, its true it took me a few goes before I found one they get sold pretty quick , I would just avoid overseas with things like this becuase if it doesnt work in the start when you get it youll have a headache , if it was me I would want to buy from someone where I could go pick it up off them so if something does play up you know exactly who you dealt with, I bought mine off a guy off here and went to hes house picked it up he wrote me a recipt and it was fine.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
