Todd at JapLink - Haberfield, has just put the word out that a Silver R34 GT-R Nur might make its appearance on a car lot soon.

He has essentially warned our club members and friends that one should stay away from this car.

Apparently it has been purchased by a dealer along P'matta Rd, but he hasn't been able to fathom which dealership.

PM me about its history if you or your friend come across it and are tempted.

More info may have arrived since my post huys; so I'd email Adam at JapLink Motors www.japlinkmotors.com.au to identify the bad seed

If I have some time, I might also go down there tomorrow to check too.

Thanks Terry.. Just wondering as the so called car I have been dreaming about all these years and worked my arse off to finally get, mind you paying a heafty price tag has turned out to be a nightmare.. Not mechanically (I wish it was!) and I don't know which path to go down now?? Legal or just cop it and fix it? Anyways, that's why I'm curious as to what dealer it was/is at? to see if they are selling more dodgy cars and to warn potential buyers.. :(

That car is sure to be a shitbox. That seller from Haymarket buys and sells heaps of cars and every single car he advertises has km's that are rolled backwards stupidly obvious.

I first came across him last year when looking for an exotic. He goes by the name of Jimmy, James,jack, van, qui...etc... I got a PPI done on a 360 of his, he said it was only 12000km old, no accidents etc, turned out to have had 65000km and had been in a serious front ender.

More recently he advertised a gallardo with 26000km on carsales, after 2 months it didn't sell. The car went off carsales for a month and then reappeared (same car, same photos, different description, different name, different mobile number, same suburb) at now only 9000km Milage on it. Import documents show the car came to Australia 2nd hand with 33000 miles (not km's) on it. That private seller is a crook and a half.

Beware of this dodgy private car seller. He uses many aliases but it is pretty easy to figure out if a seller is him just by the way the ads are written. He is Vietnamese.

So did anybody end up finding out who had this car on there lot or end up actually seeing it?? Please pm me with the details of the dealer so I know for future reference.. Cheers guys.,

OK.

This car is out or coming out at either of these two yards...

but I'll let you fill in the dots.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
