I've been a happy customer of Xtreme Motorsport because there was absolutely no proof that my...

had been wound back. :P

I was so happy, I went back and bought...

Srsly, this thread is all innuendo. Without proof on either side, it'll go nowhere.

We are still here guys.

That car is genuine and I personally guarantee that it didnt have 184,000kms.

Its good to see that we have 1 post wonders on here and keyboard warriors from other dealers still trying to shut down the legitimate dealers.

This car has full service history, log books and De Reg Certificate and funny enough we just took a deposit on it pending finance.

I suppose the service history and Japanese De-Reg certificate is not enough proof? Lol...:)

A BIG THANK YOU to those that support us.

This is going to be a long post - so strap in folks.

Do you homework friends !

DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK - AND DO IT PROPERLY, NOT A HALF-ASS JOB - FOOL.

KayneX - Why would anyone want to do re-badged odometer checks via your link - a website tainted with hypocrisy? Go direct to the source to use this genuinely fantastic service.

Ok - now down to business:

1) let's take a look at this Evo 7 - recently up on carsales.com.au (http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Mitsubishi-Lancer-2001/AGC-AD-14170113/?Cr=13&sdmvc=1)

The car has become 'not available' - hopefully not sold! Fortunately I have a screenshot of the ad as it was on Saturday 10th August (click to view full size):

Note the VIN number - it ends in 3809. You can find the same car here on the dealer website - note that the complete VIN is not posted on this website but the last 4 digits are. Website says 62,160kms

2 - let's see if we can confirm a mode of operation - last 4 digits of the VIN are always accurately represented on the dealer website. Check the blue Stagline - very unique, last 4 digits of VIN = 1286, website says 107,084kms

3 - One more before the clincher - white E51 Elgrand - VIN ends in 9204, website says 80,513kms:

So we have established a clear mode of operation - now for the original vehicle and subject of this thread - VIN ends with: 7066, website says 84,702kms

Someone seems pretty confident their de-reg certs will back them - how is this possible? At a guess I would refer to this post: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/430241-hyprocrisys-a-bitch-aint-it-the-truth-about-kilometers/?p=6973008

That car is genuine and I personally guarantee that it didnt have 184,000kms.

100% agree on the 184,000kms but we need to define "genuine".

PS. of course I have screenshots of the dealer website.

We are living in the digital age, so to all the importers reading this - it is way too easy for your actions to be backtraced now.

Either start advertising your cars for exactly what they are, or I am sure this will continue to happen!!!!

And immaculate or very clean aren't terms that should be used for an R grade sh*t bucket from Japan.

Facepalm,

Then please explain the information montage dodgyimports just dropped...?

At some point this needs to stop being nothing more than a bunch of forum threads, and move to the prosecution of those who routinely and systematically engage in this fraudulent activity. It's even more ridiculous when it stops being a odometer haircut on an otherwise reasonable car, and moves to accident grade examples with forged service histories and dereg certificates.

Anyway, this looks like another rubbish accident grade example tarted up and flogged off as "very clean". Hopefully Joe from Xtreme Motorsports can come and clear up what must be just a misunderstanding...

Gotta love the internet and SAU..good read indeed!

Thanks to the guys "dodgyimports" for going out of their way to name and shame the offenders and protect the community

You'd have to say that buying through one of the services such as Iron Chef, JLM, Prestige, J Spec etc would have to be safer AND cheaper than buying from a dealer in Aus. That way you'll see the genuine auction sheet pre purchase as well as receive the dereg etc.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
