Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspections

[DC33VN]

Hey guys,

im in the middle of buying a r33 gtst and i want to get it checked out by someone that is more specific with knowledge about skylines.

About 5 months ago i used MTA when my parents bought there toyota and they managed to find out even the smallest detail.

Im just wondering who has used what company and what they found on the car you had inspected and if there is someone that focus's on skylines or imports in general.

Thanks Costa

Man honestly, you can find everything out your self. Without special paint analyzing equipment there are still telltale signs to look for in resprays, panel repairs etc. An RTA check will tell you if the car has had any logged repairs and other details.

The rest is knowing what to look for and where to look for it. Call up E & M Motors and ask them for the guy they use for their inspections. Its an independent company. They know imports and exotics inside out.

Hey buddy

This is what a few of the workshops have quoted me on a R32

Micks Motorsports - $500

CRD - $400

Advan - $300

Full A-Z check of the car, including compression and road test.

I got an nrma test done when I bought my 34, it was completely useless, didn't find out any of the things I actually needed to know but didn't notice, such as the wrong tyres for the rims on all corners, the front two tyres being completely different, the spacers on the front were different sizes (wtf!!!) etc etc etc

Chat to the boys at Unigroup Engineering.

My old manager, my mate with a 270kw skyline and myself with a stock R32 all take our cars there, and we'll continually go there.

What I meant was that the nrma 200pt checks were meant to be the way to go, at least they were meant to be good. And mine was jack sh!t
