Hi guys,

New here, love it.

A mate of mine is looking for a R33 GT-R and came across Edward Lees Japanese Auto Centre in Parramatta road. The guys there reckoned they can get anything in from Japan for a good price.

Any body bought from there? Any good? Recommendations please.

Cheers,

Your Bum

Don't want to bad mouth a business I've had no dealings with, but alot of the cars have been there for quite a while

And a few people seem to have bad things to day about Edward lees

If your going to get something imported maybe speak to

Kristian @ iron chef imports, he posts here quite a bit a seems to have a few very loyal customers

Highly recommend Top Secret Imports. Although I haven't bought anything from them before, I did however had a consultation whilst in search of a new R34 after my one was written off. I have seen their cars and their service center, also their customer service has been the best I've seen by far in Car Dealers and even other industries where customer service is far more paramount than cars, yet TSI exceeds it.

Go and see Xtreme Motorsports, directly across the road from Edward lees. Great people there and Joe the owner is the most genuine salesman I've met. My girlfriend was looking at buying an S15 from there and her finances didn't come through so he gave her back the deposit and holding fee no questions asked. I bought my EP3 there and never had a problem in the 3 months I owned it.

Shaun i do the same thing with deposits, that's why i always make them subject to finance approval. And i also do the follow up phone call, only i do it 2 months later. He would have a reminder automatically setup in his computer x amount of weeks/months after delivery. Same as me :)

Don't do it!!! The boss Phil is a total liar and very bad person. I got a car from them after they pressured me into it saying i wouldnt get my $1000 deposit back and so on, the car has literally fallen apart on me bit by bit since I received it. They are overpriced and full of sh*t!!!!!! Bad bad people

Hang on so you paid $X thousands for a crap car because you wouldn't get your $1k back? Doesn't make financial sense.

That aside if they had no right to keep your deposit i would camp my a$$ on the front driveway of the lot and have a chat to every customer that walked in until they returned it.

D!ckheads they may be, but sorry dude, your scenario is your own fault.

Long story....but basically I had to pay $1000 deposit on a 17,000 car and was told on the phone it was awesome when it turned up it was not as good as they made out but PHIL the idiot said if u don't buy this car ill keep your $1,000 and u own me a % toward the car so I would of ended up paying another $1,700 for nothing he used his car cakes bull talk and was a total dick!

So basically you got "screwed over" because you didn't do any research into what your entitled to and that you should have been refunded your deposit once the car wasn't what was described.

Definitly sounds like it's your fault for not knowing better.

LOL wut?

So instead of getting you're $1000 deposit back (which you were legally entitled to) you were contemplating paying another $1700 (which he can't legally make you do) but you decided to still buy the car (which you shouldn't have). Logic. SRS.

Why is this being advertised as a V-Spec? No Brembo brakes and FAST says that the VIN is for a non-V-Spec GT-R. I hope that it's a mistake and that they correct it.

Yeah, I sent them a message on eBay asking if they were sure that it is a V-Spec. I got a phone call from them - they assert that it's a genuine V-Spec. The caller wasn't minded to go and check because 'their guy knows what he's on about because he's been doing this since 1971'.

Now, I know my V-Specs pretty well. That is not one.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
