Anyone Heard Of This Company?!?!

[Stealthynsa]

Im buying a rb25det motor and loom today and i only have $2000

justjap were doing it for me but the shipment doesnt come till next month

basically everywhere else doesnt wanna match that so i thought i would ring these blokes

and nothing against them but they sounded a bit bodgey over the phone and when i said to

a highly known import wrecker in NSW do u know anyone else who will do it,

he said U can ask our mates over at greenacre....! and i said are they bodgey

he said no comment... maybe he just wants my sale or maybe he thinks they are bodgey

so has anyone delt with these guys before.. the engine will be modified straight away

but stock internals will be left in it so i just dont wanna buy a piece of sh!t that will

do a piston or ring ect within a year or two.

PLEASE REPLY ASAP

when i go check it out he said he will start it for me!!!

ANY questions i should ask about it or anything i should look/listen for to know if its damaged

No import wrecker is going to give you any guarantee on an engine. And on top of that they know about as much about the internal condition of their engines as you do.

Get them to do a compression test in front of you (if the gearbox is still attached and there is oil in the sump.

You could also ask them for a startup warranty meaning it has to pass an oil pressure test the first time it starts. But they are likely to say GTFO

well i had no other choice so this is what happened.

i went there and checked it out. looked pretty good, the piping from the throttle body that bends to the front was missing.

but he said he would replace it but neway he started it up infront of me without the afm attached, i though ok well if it works then start it up

so he did and it sounds perfect but i went to the rear and was blowing some smoke when rev'd but i thought thats cause its just started up

and because it doesnt have a afm attacked so it cant match the air to the fuel, "Does that sound correct?"

i bought it from him for $2000 for rb25det engine + loom. i just hope that all the parts i need for the conversion is in there...

he said i dont get the cooler but i dont care i have a fmic here. he said he will deliver it to me tomorrow.

there was some oily gunk around the rocker covers but i thought thats just cause they were not on tight enough or it needs a new seal?
