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

    • Swapped the injectors around and the misfire followed. I went ahead and ordered the Deatschwerks 550cc injectors and am currently waiting for them to be ship and arrive. In the meantime, I've had my Nistune soldered to the ECU. Tested it, and and tried it out with the software. Everything should be prepared for when the injectors arrive.  
    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷
