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.

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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
