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.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?

      See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R

      So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
