Personally I would much prefer a human to have been the previous owner.

I don't think any animal or even mythical creature has what it takes to properly care for a car.

Hi we saw a tarago advertised at this dealer earlier this week on car sales. It looked really nice in the pictures and decided to go to campsie to have a look.As far as dealers go , I don't trust them .

To cut the story short ...we were so impressed by the car, how clean it looked and the condition of it.

I did read some of the posts on this page , so I booked a car inspection through the mta.

They inspector too was so impressed by the car, cost in low Kms.i was advised it had original paint , genuine Kms,which was 59,000 Kms.

Igor the manager welcomed a car inspection, held the car till the inspection with no deposit and honestly couldn't do enough to help.

I got a great trade in , and when it was time to pick the car up he organized a car stereo to put in it, a extra key and got the car detailed again.to make the deal better he gave me a dealer 3 month warranty, 5year warranty as well,12 months road side assistance.

He honestly could do enough.

I am so happy I went to this dealer.to us they were honest, trusting and really wanted to help the customer. Our family are wrapped with this car and WE WILL BUY FROM THEM ANYTIME and recommend them!,,

I will definitely purchase from Jap Auto World - located somewhere along Canterbury Road (number 508) in Campsie NSW 2194, phone number 02 8970....

Haven't used them personally, but I've read on the internet that an employee, posing as a customer, posted some great feedback about the trusting and helpful nature of this dealer.

Anyway morale of the story, speak with Igor the dealer manager for an awesome no deposit, free stereo, spare car key deal and make sure that you mention the 3 month / 5 year warranty they are offering - in case he forgets.

Highly recommend - offered people on the internet great spam at the right price! Friends and family always ask where I buy my Jap Auto World imports from and I tell them, I bought them from Jap Auto World.

Well I just wanted to leave my feedback for the next person who was looking at a car at this dealer, just like I did.I am not an employee.

I looked at others feedback about this dealer and that's why I got an inspection.well the inspection was worth every cent and just proves I'm not driving a lemon.anyway happy.

Didn't mean to offend Elisabeth. It's just that your posts read like those of an employee.

However, I am happy for you - that you're not driving a lemon and wanted to leave feedback to help others.

I've just purchased a V35 Skyline and have left over 3 months of genuine feedback on my blog to help others learn from my own personal importing experience.

That's ok Sikahalv, I just wanted to leave feedback that's all. Just happy cause a lot of cars that price weren't that condition n price.it was because of the feedback the other day I wanted the japenese logbooks n really wanted evidence of the Kms. I really was happy that people put there feedback , even negative cause it opens your eyes .thanks

This thread is getting good.

Yes I agree it's getting good.

That's right other guy. Real good. More legit by the second.

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
