Hi Guys & Girls, ive been lurking around this forum for a rather long time. But I am finally in a position to get myself my most loved car, a R34 Gt-t. Being a huge n00b when it comes to the skyline, I am looking for as much help and guidance as your all willing to share with me. :)

So far I have been looking at getting my r34 from either Distinctive Imports or Autoworx, and i was wondering what peoples feeling where of these 2 dealers? Good and bad experiences would be good, however from what ive read the bad usually isnt recommended to be posted here. So if its really bad could you PM me and let me know about your experiences?!

both are respectable businesses but my vote would have to go to autoworx. alastair will look after you.

i've dealt with and bought parts from both and will never buy from reagan (distinctive) again, parts were fine but hes a bit of a knobhead sometimes

Well Autoworx is a SAUWA sponsor... Haven't dealt with either of them in terms of car purchases, but i purchased some parts from Autoworx and they were really good, really professional.

Im +1 for Autoworx, but i think you should check both of them out, decide which one you feel more comfortable with or which one has a car that you really like.

Good luck bud :)

Distinctive Imports!!

I bought my R34 GT-T there and couldn't be happier with it. The condition of the car itself was immaculate apart from very minor paint scratching on the passenger door which Regan willingly pointed out (I never even noticed it). After negotiation with Regan and Shaun, I got a full alarm system and built in turbo timer included with the purchase price of the vehicle. After I bought my 34, I decided to get a FMIC, 3" Stainless-steel turbo back exhaust system, front bar and TEIN shocks+springs put in. All of this work was done at Kensei garage (part of DC Imports). All modifications were done by Shaun and I have to say I was really happy with the service and effort they put in to my car. After the front bar had a trial fit with the intercooler, they had the bar painted and ready to fit up. When everything was mounted properly, they still had a few problems getting the front bar to sit nicely. Thus they endeavoured to make modifications to the front bar and intercooler mounting to make everything sit nice and flush and basically perfect! All parts were ordered in quickly and I was able to pick up the car earlier than I had arranged for. During the time my car was at Kensei/DC Imports, one of the interior lights wasn't working at all and Shaun kindly fixed that at no cost.

Regan also gave me good prices on the front bar and the tein shocks and springs he had lying around. DC Imports definitely have amazing after-purchase service and take care of their customers. Would highly recommend them!

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
