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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
