Remember that $4k profit on the car also covers the time necessary to find a nice, clean car, verify everything, service it, etc.

so they add around 4-5 grand on a car that they would have purchased ? or have i just totaly misread that haha

i would love to have a chat to them either way.. im not in the market of ripping people off...

but i just think hunting down THE car would be a bit of fun.. then maybe if i find one.. hand it over to them

beacuse from what ive heard they are bloody good at what they do ! :)

they shall be my first port of call and then ill make a move depending on how it goes

Nah I was just going off slippylotion's figures. I have no idea what they make on their cars.

Discuss your situation with Ben. Perhaps you can find the car and they'll bring it over and comply it for you?

The figures I'm using are totally fictional NOT actual hard figures. Just using them as an example for any company. I'm also not saying these are figures of Northshore nor another company.

Everything I'm talking about is just hypothetical.

I know :thumbsup:

Makes more sense when you have SOME figure. Although no idea what the markup is on these things.

I'm just trying to say, Northshore = worth it.

Not sure Dunc, have to call Northshore and ask if Ben will comply a private import.

What a joke. Two cars, same power, weight and drive, one legal one not. Surely they have some back door to cover themselves there, so they can claim to have banned all M35s?

Ben won't comply a private PM35 import.

I asked early this year and he flat out said "no", which is understandable considering the risk they went to getting the evidence.

The PM35 is probably not on the banned list because they are not aware of them!

i can totaly understand where they are coming from in regards to the PM35... i wouldnt be doing it if it were my business either lol

but i was hoping perhaps to get compliance in regards to an AXIS or ARX.. not the PM35 versions..

and yeh the banned list probably wouldnt know about them, but still

its just rediculous to ban the ARX and NOT the 250t's or the AXIS versions. stupidity !

what more could you ego driven politicians sitting behinds desks though

Id say the list was generated via an insurance company list of 'known cars'. Its not a comprehensive list, and if they were aware of the car it'd be banned.

Or perhaps they are going by Redbook which doesn't seem to recognise anything other than the ARX

I don't have access to Glass's Guide to see what is in there.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
