I bought mine from Northshore 9 months ago, great purchase experience, but check your paperwork thoroughly - there was an issue with the engine number on mine (only a typo) and I had to sit around for an hour while Ben got it sorted.

But I had to ring Ben a couple of months back to talk to him about a couple of things done at compliance, and the response was "too bad so sad" - VERY unimpressed with the service after I'd signed the paperwork.

They still have clean cars, just check them over well, even little things like the location of the child restraint mounts, making sure the band expander works, and making sure they've actually done everything they were supposed to at compliance.

the thing that gets me is, my c34 is clean as, it really looks like its only a low km car and heres the killer, the car had been wound back in japan, because i went and looked at it the day it came out of customs, i went straight to the detailers where it was delivered straight from a container and it was filthy. i check the km's on that day and they were 84,xxx so mmmm bit dodgy, but what can you do... not much. just means ill be taking it in for a timing belt sooner than expected.

thats how the low klms get done, purchased from car yards gets done from his employee over there prior to even being advertised (hey preseto... new klms) thats why you get no evidence from were he got it!...

The first one i got delivered was the same... clean as around the car panel wise! but underneath.... rust , issues etc.

Also as a he is a licensed dealer, he must display this on the car or ( pm me for information)

to be able to sell cars under 10 years old less 150k klms without a stat warranty... He doesn't do it! so you have a three month warranty from purchase

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
