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!!!

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
