Hi All,

This dealership sold me an unroadworthy S15 spec R, which turn out to be a complete rust bucket. If you're dead set on buying a vehicle from be sure to get an independant inspect prior to buying as i dont want anyone else to be dupped by these guys.

"Used passenger cars over 10 years old or with over 160,000km and commercial vehicles do not have a statutory or a manufacturer's warranty, they just have to be roadworthy" you could argue that with an independant assessment as long as you haven't left it too long

In hind sight I should of got the car inspected before purchasing it and now I am paying the price, RAA in SA has condemned the vehicle as chasis has severe rust issues. I have made a formal complaint to the NSW Far Trade, hopefully they can help.

That place needs a good old picket demonstration to make the business go belly up.

And that's just the start...

Was just about to mention that we all should stage one of those protests outside their dealership....

This sort of shit boils my blood.

To think that these crooks can not only rob a person of their hard earned (or borrwed) cash and think they can get away with it, but also endanger the life of someone who is paying them to do so.

Because thats what it comes down to at the end of the day.

Selling an unroadworthy car to an unsuspecting buyer, is like handing them a time bomb with no timer. You dont know when it will go all pear shaped.

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
