Havent had any experience with them bro,

but from what i hear its all good. As long as they can provide you with all relevant paperwork ie full auction reports, de-reg certificate, export certificate etc

while also getting an inspection then you should be good to go! They may even email you the auction sheet for forum members to help you with...

bought my 350gt of dimirty there (it was actually his car, not the dealerships). They're a pretty good mob there, honest and dont dick you around.

Always get an independant inspection however, no matter how honest the trader is, they can still miss things.

But all in all, good cars and nice people, just use common sense and check all the details.

Hey guys,

I did a search of the forums regarding buying from Nagoya motors in Caringbah. So far the comments have been mostly good.

Has anyone bought from them recently? Are they good to deal with?

Cheers

I bought my V35 from them in July last year. I found them very easy to deal with and they had good quality stock on offer. I did have one issue within the week - a door lock motor had failed and wasn't locking - and they ended up swapping one out from another car to get me on my way (I live in Canberra). That was a bit of a battle, as they wanted to get my failed one repaired but ended up not being able to so I hassled them to take one from another car. Still, they did it and the car's been fine otherwise.

And be careful with the paperwork and details provided. I was sold my car as a 2005 (I've still got a copy of the details published on their website), and it *was* a Series II, but when they signed me over the paperwork I found out it was a December 2004 build date. Nissan started making the Series II in November 2004. I went ahead with it because I'd already paid to have cruise installed and Toyo T1R's put on.

Dmitriy is the one who knows the Skylines, but you'll probably deal with Alex (I think he's the boss). If you've never been there before it's easy to drive past them as they have a thin street frontage. Just look out for a mass of Delica's parked out along the road - it's their extended yard.

do the usual checks for paint/dints/ repairs and you wil be right.

messiah flew me down for the day to help him with his purchase. nagoya was teh third and final place he looked and I had put a scan tool across all the cars he looked at. the S3 V35 that he bought from nagoya was flawless and they even programmed the BT phone for him as well. good service was what I saw from an outside point of view. (they somewhat knew who I was and why I was there as well.)

Got my v35 from them september 2010, have not had a problem with the car. Getting it serviced this Monday, ill let you guys know how it goes as im getting it serviced by a performance shop and they will be able to point out any faults or problems. But other than that generally their cars are pretty clean.

I thought u knew dmitry chris? he knows you.

I brought my car from him, also a personal car he brought in, not a car yard one.

He looked after me, the Bose radio didnt work and he swapped another one over for me. Still have to sort out something that i have been lazy to do so regarding an alarm not being put in but i will contact Dmitry and see how the after support is and let you guys know.

most of the sydney based dealers know me or know of me. I'm not exactly private with what I work on when you think about it. I often get calls from dealers around the country asking me questions.

dimitry met me when simon bought his car. and he met me with a launch scan tool in hand.

What does the launch tool tell u about our cars? (what function did you use when looking at the cars) ?

I look at fault code history with it. if I see a airbag error I go digging deeper and start inspecting things physically. did that on one car that simon looked at in northwest sydney.

I also look at fault history in the engine as well. same thing with that.

other than that its a debugging tool for me and a VERY expensive one. ($4k)

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
