top quality cars top quality price

i haven't heard anything else so if your gut it ok then go for it

don't bother with the 3 yr extended warranty 95% of what could go wrong with the car isn't covered it should take about $900 off the cost

about 7 years ago there werent very good stories but from what i have heard over the past few years has been really good reps as long as the car checks out with a mechanic then go for it but i agree with steve dont get the warranty there is no point and it will save you a few $$$$

People say that they have heard bad stories from Redline. But my R32 was sold by them back in 2002, and Vince from Import Compliance Systems has been over it and said its one of the the best GTSt's he has seen to date... Would I buy a car from Redline? Yes.

Ok, first of all the topic title "Dealer" is just stupid - you need to make the title state exactly what the topic is about, and what you want to ask.

Secondly this has been covered 1,000,000 times before .... ALWAYS use the search function.

Thirdly, the guys selling at Redline have always struck me as arrogant fools, and the cars are stupidly overpriced IMHO.

That is all.

What are peoples impression for Redline Motorsports?

I'm looking at buying a car from them tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

What car you after exactly? Id trowl through car sales and call a few that you like (interstate also), always ask the relevant questions ie service history, auction papers, export certificates etc

If you have a good feeling then organise an inspection through a mechanic, RAA or state roads depending on where the car is located. All goes well, seriously think about purchasing.

Paid top price for my 33 through them.

Had to go back twice for majour warranty repairs, both times the repairer tried to sell me on extras and both times the repairs were not carried out to satisfaction.

That being said they gave me a lot more for my trade-in than I was expecting, and the guys provided great pre-sales service and reasonable after-sales, car was presented very well and I suspect it had a cheapo respray after landing here which is now starting to flake in some spots, although I can't say for sure that was thanks to Redline.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
