i cring everytime i go past and see ppl in these dodgy caryards being taken for a ride

few ppl mentioned they did a odometer check, did anyone get back to the yard and ask for an explanation after sighting the de-reg papers

i know they will lie and come up with some excuse, but more importantly, expose them on the spot for being dodgy

Just a warning to the SAU Community from a private source. There is an R34 GT-R that's appeared online For Sale, with highly altered km's. Car has 145,000kms on it when looking at a Japanese listing:

I was in Sydney on the weekend and hadn't yet read this thread, long story short had a look at couple of private seller cars which I passed on. While in town had some time to kill so got on trusty ol

However,

The majority of the market on Parramatta Rd. trumps all over us in terms of marketing. They are in a central location and have been selling vehicles for years ! They utilise terms such as " Best Japanese Importer in Australia" to reassure the customer.

If I had a budget or some semi-decent marketing skills and support and more likes/shares on my Facebook Page ; I am sure this can be prevented. It just seems that the people that know about it feign ignorance to spreading it around unless asked.

Link is in post above yours. @ 1:23

His videos are hilarious...kind of a macabre fascination like watching a train wreck happening.

PS: Why do people who speak in middle eastern accents (Lebanese etc) sound like they are ripping you off when trying to sell you something...even though when sometimes they aren't. I have a few Lebanese friends , awesome people , but when they speak it sounds like they are about to rort you for everything you have

I agree. I always have a hearty chuckle when watching his videos. He has effectively tapped into a market thats for sure. There are many unsuspecting customers out there.

I'd really enjoy meeting up with Phil one day and talking p*nel g*ps...for the lelz.

"thing" is singular.

"things" is plural

Methinks it should be plural.

Even putting Jap snow tyres back on after a car is complied is plural x4 !!!!

:(

a mate had this happen to him on his s15.

i lol'd.

What appears to be a very nice GTR on here.

A User on this forum was about to purchase this with half the Km's from a Dealership in Sydney

He won't be named but he will speak if he decides to.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
