we all know that they have done dodgy kms.

but i didnt want to buy a car with 200,000kms on it......

took it to fair trading and getting a refund.

Timing belt was changed at 104,000 and was due again. (NEEDS REPLACING)

the person i bought the car off is now trying to unload it again without claiming its km amount.

power steering made funny noises, Coil packs are shot. spark plugs need changing, hicas light occasionally came on, engine light comes on. syncro in 4th gear is shot. black paint looks good wet, on futher inspection its not. dodgy battery (wasnt leaving my yellow top in)

horn doesnt want to work ever, (hard for rego) put the old starter motor back in (yuk) rust bubble on the roof. plus some other occasion troubles

car can be seen there..... for sale again, massive amounts of problems with the car and i would say that people beware if you are looking at it.

Also as a seller. She was not helpful in sorting out these troubles at all, did not want to have a bar of it actually. didnt show up for meetings, takes ages to reply to emails. I would warn anyone that is buying a car off these people (name removed by moderators) to take caution.

friends nissan pulsar q n16 girl spec.

<shoots self>

going to buy a mini :)

possibly a G13B Turbo swift powered one :)

yeah it was...

i had a whinge to fair trading and i have noticed that the kilometres on the listing have been taken down and they are not in the process of changing to around 150000. which i think is still low.

LMAO at the eBay listing, BUSINESS NAME REMOVED BY MODERATOR.

That explains a lot.

I went there to check out the M35's they had. I am so glad I did not buy from them. Operating out of some little rent a shed thing, with no sign-age...

They didnt have a dealers licence when i purchased off them, operating from home.

they must have got busted since.

I feel for you man.

After all the shit I went through trying to buy an M35, I don't know if I would do it again hey.

All the dealers lying to you, mislabelling shit, don't know what's legit and not (except a quality dealer like Northshore)

Well I was very unhappy with the whole scenario at the place in question...

If you aren't an expert with cars, and are naive, you can get trapped easy. I just had a bad gut feeling when I went there. I get sick thinking about if I bought from them...f**k

When I bought my Stag in 2006, I bought thru an import agent. Cost a grand for that. The car was perfect when I got it.

Of course you have to have the cash to buy this way. At that time I think most of us bought that way, and I think most of us were satisfied.

The trend seems to have changed, correct me if I am wrong. It seems a lot of people are buying through Dealers and getting ripped off a darn sight more than in the Import Days.

I guess its hard to want a Stag but have to wait three months to get it. The dealers realise this, thats why they have hopped on the band-wagon.

yeah, i found this

i went over it, it looked fine, then a few months later problem after problem.

i guess thats why they are so cheap .

I really feel sorry for you dude.

After all the dramas I went through visiting heaps of dealers, I was so close just going "f**k it, I'll buy it." Glad I didn't.

these guys called me back last night regarding a few m35's they were getting out of customs, that i was interested in.. i was a little sus coz of price factor sometimes it seems to good to be true.. glad i bought mine elsewhere!! however i am still in the early days...... fingers crossed so far so good with mine..

so are these cars getting dodged up over sea or hear in Australia or a bit of both,

After having mine for a couple of years I am finding things to suggest that the km aren't the original km eg cam belt and my instrument cluster is actually out of a auto not a manual one??? Luckily everything is in good working order.

And I got mine from a well known importer!!!

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
