I spoke with Danny a little while ago about this..

he saw his car pop up on carsales for about 12k, he thought the person had problems with it after a few of the parts were removed. and wanted a quick sale.. Danny was tempted to buy it back..

To expand on the dodgy KM comment from Craig.

He bought the car with a claimed 45k km's approx. When he changed the Air Con filter, the filter had the odometer reading written on it of 53000km and dated 2 years earlier. So somehow the car had traveled negative 12000km in 2 years..

The shocks on the car were KYB from memory. Also the if you have a look behind the plastic flares on the rear wheels you will see the guards have been knocked back with a hammer to stop them rubbing on the tyres.

Cheers

Andy

I'm not saying anything more....but those km's are unrealistic!blink.gif

Whaat? Are you saying that my car hasn't really done 80k km's!!

LOL...mine came with 69xxx km's when I bought it...came from Japlink Motors who are supposed to be pretty good...

Then again when I did a Stateroads test on the car they reckon the km's are dodgy...

moral of the story...don't buy imports based on km's!!

mine were a legit 67,000 i think..

i had privately imported through SSV and asked for the japanese government papers.. i think it was done about 6 months prior to being shipped and the papers said 61,000 or something..

but thats probably why I spent abit more for mine.. came to 20k on road...

Hey Aaron (Pot), for your reference

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
