Hey Guys,

As the subject says I've put down a deposit on a VERY underpriced Skyline, (which is perfect) and other than calling REVS and making sure its not stolen through them, What else can I do to make sure the car dealer doesnt run with the money in 1 month and I lose my money AND the car?

I mean if the car is stolen and its not on REVS database yet I can still get screwed if the dealer is shonky correct?

How can I protect myself?

Thanks for your help,

I take it the car is still in Japan then... i would love to see your face if its a GTST and it arrives with a GTR badge :rant:

I suppose all you can really do is get a receipt and deal with a reputable dealer that has a good trading history...if you have already handed over a deposit based on pictures/info they have provided you... you just have to trust that business is interested in staying in business, so will do the right thing

Who said it was a GTR in the 1st place?

I dont know, its just that Pentae seems to share manys passion for loathing GTSTs with GTR badges, :) I could see him badging his own car in disgust :rant:

Hope all goes well with the purchase Pentae, happy motoring in your new ride :rant:

Nice observation Roy!

Dammit I cant contain my excitement.. After a bit of number plate modification in photoshop i'm starting to get giddy. :wassup:

(Took this shot before leaving the dealership today)

Lets hope the sale goes through subject to settlement of one of my investment properties.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
