Hmm there ok

I kinda know the owner kevin lee, been there a few times for specialised things

i dont know about buying a car there tho

they had some descent priced series 2 r33s there when i last went

i probably wouldnt buy anything other than that tho

definately dont buy ne 180 or silvia there

my mate bought a very tidy 180 sx there but that was before it changed hands.There used to be a guy called chai that worked there and he was a cool dude but now not sure.I called them up to see if they had any 2nd hand r33 stoko rims for sale and i got told that they do and wont sell them in pairs but instead a whole set.I told her that a sale was a sale and she got the shits .So i dont know i dont think a particular yard has nothing but all shit i think you will recognise a good car if u see one but a general statement about all imports never judge a car by its km"s

from what i heard they changed the endless brakes to some stockos before he picked up his car.

And get a RACQ check before you get your car. Autoshop dont allow it for the obvisious reason of selling ****ed cars.

He knew they were going to do that they told him.

kev did mention about a few car yards (not mentioning which particular ones.) dont like getting their cars inspected by RACQ. He doesn't really mind it cos he knows he's selling legit cars, albeit a tad more expensive. Anyways thanks for the insight pplz. The time to buy grows closer :(. yayayayayayayayyayayaya :)

"Charge them like a wounded bull" is another.

A particular yard will not always have all "good" cars, or all "crap" cars. Every car is different, you can find absolute gems at dodgy crappy looking yards, and peices of poop at high end well presented yards. Mechanic inspection + a car feeling "right" on the test drive + warranty is the best you can do.

I bought the 34 and I also purchased a Toyota Surf off Kevin and he was always professional and the whole experience was good. I still get everything checked out before I buy though.

He still had some dogs there that I wouldn't even look at.

You'd have to be crazy to buy without checking the car out throughly first .

It pays to shop around.

CYA34 >> I just spoke to Kevin and I might be buying a car from him. From the way he sounded on the phone ... she sounded quite legitimate. Can you tell me what your experience with him was like with buying the R34? (pm me if you dont want to say publically)

cheers mate :mad:

*edit* sorry for bringing up an old thread :rofl:

Sold any EA falcoons for $8k at late? :mad:

I got my car (well actually my girlfriend originally did)

Its still one of the best I have seen mechanically and body and interior wise, it almost like new...but then again she did look around for 8 months nearly 2 years ago before imports really took off...

There are only a couple of places i would not go to, one is along the going past the Gabba and the other is in bowen hills, you know the places I am not here to name names...

actually no I dont *LOL* (I live in Sydney) :wassup:

pm me the names if you like. but I was more concerned about Autoforce, only because I might be buying a car from them soon, so I wanted to clarify their level of ... dodgy-ness :D

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
