Yes the link is to boostcruising but worth the reaad: A guy was asking there experiences on the car yard when i few ppl stated there experiences, an employee jumped on and started calling ppl all sorts of names then the business owner jumped on and started abusing ppl.....please have a read of the first two pages if anything. Im more putting this up for any potential customers just to see who you are dealing with before you hand over your cash.

LOL, thread is now closed

comments from the owner weren't that bad. typical of a lot of business owners defending their business, dodgy or not. the employee though, well he's just a cockhead. what sort of idiot threatens someone while representing a business? fkn tool

I bought my first skyline from them, would not recomend it.

I actually paid for a R33 there that had a GTR kit, front mount, exhaust, it was yellow and some decent wheels. It had its flaws and i entered into a written agreement with them to get things fixed such as the sterio some scuffs on the body work, some cracks in the kit ect ect. On the day I go to pick it up i get told that no i couldnt pick it up as the car failed roadworthy and had to be destroyed or sent back to Japan, Obviously this was all BS and they just didnt want to spend the money to fix the stuff on my list.

So instead of giving me my money back they hassled me into finding another car on the lot that I liked, I didnt really like any of them as none had the same mods as the original one I PAID for. Eventually a deal was struck to get one of the cars on the yard up to the same spec as the one i had already bought >_< the catch was they wouldnt be able to carry out the work for 3 to 4 weeks and seeing as i had already given the cash i wasnt prepared to wait that long. So onece again I entered into a written agreement with these guys to come back and they will fit all the stuff that would have been on the first car. Low and behold they never honoured thier written agreement and I ended up buying all the stuff myself.

Luckily the car itself as ok but i ended up paying for about 5k worth of stuff that i never got so yeah i totally agree, in my case they were nothing but slimy typical used car salesmen

In my honest opinion, if I was a shareholder for a company that spoke/wrote to customers in that fashion, I would pull all my shares out and recommend the same to others.

It is not okay to call someone a "dickhead" if your trying to defend your business, no matter how dire the situation is. In all honesty, the owner could have handled that much better than he did and could have actually turned that weakness into an opportunity. "Come down see my cars, I really do have top customer service and I'm sorry for ignoring you the first time." However, as we all saw this was far from what was his mind.

Furthermore, the employee is stepping far outside his job description and responsibilities. If I was boss, I would have him sacked and tell the rest of the industry what an ignorant and arrogant person he is.

I've dealt with Dom (ajm_motorsport) before. I suppose in the instance that I associated with him he was good, at the time the cars looked pretty sweet (and im a picky prick). Though after reading his words and his employees, I am disappointed that a unique business such as this had to ruin the reputation they had. In reality it showed what was behind the cracks and only really proved suspicions a reader might have had with the business. Funny thing though, I have a feeling there was another dealer commenting on that thread to which he/she would be laughing all the way home as now AJM may now not be considered to some as a real contender.

Oh well, each to their own, I hope that thread was enough for AJM to start thinking about the general consensus of the business being run.

Most of you guys probably aren't nerdy enough to know or remember when a certain popular, but small and dodgy computer store named Gamedude wanted to refresh its outlook a little and asked for opinions on all major nerdy forums such as whirlpool and QGL. Well that turned into a shit fight to dwarf this example. The owner of the store basically called his entire customer base a bunch of pimply, nerdy little dweebs. Which they (we) mostly are probably! But coming from him it was pretty funny (Because he was a pimpy FAT nerd). But anyway. I learnt that day the importance of good and calm communication when representing your business.

That employee should be fired. The boss should never have posted anything he did. They both should learn how to write. And now they have probably lost a lot of business now and in the future. Think about any Boost member who comes on and searches the forums for AJM and that thread is the result.

I'm glad I went private if thats the quality of import yards around here. For some reason I don't trust a company with a car if they can't even form a sentence.

having had a few mates buy used cars from sales yards, i refuse to ever purchase my car from one. private sales, or brand new only

there is a reason that used car sales men are referred to as dodgy pricks the world over

I'm sure there is an Xzibit joke in there somewhere.

Everytime I've gone to look at the cars there it has been the same deal. f**kwit employees and shitty cars.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
