Hi all,

Been snooping around as a guest for awhile and now I have decided to become a member n join the happy family =)

Reason why I am posting is that I am looking to buy a used car within the next month after more searching around.

Anyone recommend any shops?

I looked at power road seems ok.

Plus I am still on my probation at work and will finish in 1 month time. Anyone know of any finance places that let you go on finance during probation?

cheers all! look forward to replies from the experienced ones.

Yeah the power rd dealer is decent quality some other import dealers just from the top of my head would be SSV on princess hwy and another one on hume hwy I forgot the name but from what ive seen they have decent cars but if you go private make sure you get it checked out or check it out yourself if you know what your looking for.

I've just bought mine about a month ago :D. I checked out quite a few places when looking for mine. Dealers prices were way above private sale. Ended up buying mine off a member from here. Not sure what state your from but in Vic It was hard to find a good one that was near stock. I looked at around 12 I think in total for private sale. Found problems with almost every one. Then found this one and so far its perfect :). Just take your time, dont rush into buying one straight away.

If your looking at a skyline, chances are it's been modded even if it looks stock. Save yourself the money (because you will probably end doing the same mods) and buy a lightly modified one off a member on the forum, someone that actually cares for their car!

Hi Baruna,

Nice to meet you and welcome to the forum.

I brought mine from a private dealer but mine is 100% stock (It's a GTv so no one bothers with them cos they're non turbo)

There is another import yard on Edwardes Road Reservoir, just down from BMSRUS (BMW Wreckers) never dealt with them but I've noticed them a few times when getting parts for my Beamer.

I'd agree with everyone else, check out the For Sales section on the forum. Depending on what you're looking at spending, one of the girls is selling her pearl white R34 for 15,000 from Vic

Hi Hi everyone,

thanks for all the feedback! its great that the people in this forum are so caring.

Cause I am still on work probation, my banker suggests me I get a loan (as I require some $$$$) after my probation is up.

So...probably won't get one for about a month from now...

Didn't know there was a seller section in this forum as well, thanks for the heads up.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
