Where did you found them ? where are they based in Australia ?

FOUND THEM DOING A RANDOM SERACH ON GOOGLE

I EMAILED THEM AND I FIND TO FIND OUT MORE

YOU HAVE TO PAY 20% DEPOSIT FOR A CAR YOU WANT TO BUY, THEY ADVERTISE THE CARS ON THEIR WEBSITE

BUT THE WEIRD THING IS THAT THE CARS THEY ADVERTISE ON THEIR SITE THEY DONT HAVE, ITS ALL THROUGH AUCTION??

AND IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND AND DONT THEM TO LOOK YOU DONT GET YOUR DEPOSIT BACK

HMMMMMM

They look legit to me. Looks like a private import who has just started a site up but not having an ABN and only a mobile phone number wont given anyone much confidence in them. Its a bit strange that they dont have an ABN, they definitely need one by law.

They do have an ABN:

ABN: 46 372 838 328

Entity name:

BUTROS, MENA

Trading name:

Osaka Performance Imports

All that is a personal ABN you get if you want a second job, until they comply with the fair trading laws and Motor Dealers Regulation 2004 in NSW they are not able to Broker cars as per stated else were or below.

And as you can see below Brokering a car from Japan isn't excluded in NSW.

I vouch for the owner of the company and although the company is new it stands by their customers im sure Mena would be more than happy to answer any questions in regards to any of his stock as his helped me in the past with items ive purchased in the past. Please leave speculations aside until you have dealt with the shop there is no point putting opinions forward unless you have had experience for better or worse

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?

      See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
