Got Dooped By A Gtr Owner In Endevour Hills Anyone Know Where He Lives?


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I recently threw $500 deposit on a guys 33 gtr vspec in midnight purple located in endeavour hills

registration ZKV649

Guys name is TAREK KANDAKJI

phone number is 0432 282 125

Sale was all good, was organising a trucking quote to get it shipped to me, then he called to say he took it to wash it and engine started making a knocking noise on the drive home, i.e. he was raping it and it spun a bearing, I was gutted and he said he would drop the price by $2000 or I could have my deposit back.

I consulted my mechanic knowing they are expensive to work on, he said flag it and get money back.

old mate said, no worries money will be back in your account by the end of week.

no news for a while, give him a call no answer, and now no answer at all.

disappearing act.

this was all before Christmas, did a vin check etc. car was all good.

have pics on my phone

anyway, police wont do anything, but I have mates in Melbourne who are more than happy to go say hi and reclaim my funds

If anyone could pass on his address, would be much appreciated.

cheers Xavier

As much as the guy sounds like a douche bag, and I'm sorry to hear about your experience, I doubt that even if anyone did know the guy they'd pass on his address!

Having said that, a quick look on whitepages shows there's not too many people with that surname in Melbourne (that are listed), and Google maps shows they're not far from Endeavour Hills. Maybe get your mate to drive past the addresses and see if there's an R33 GTR parked out the front.

FYI I enquired about this car a while back, rebuilt by Rajab with "bigger bore clearances" which according to Tarek caused a rattle at cold start because "forged pistons do that".
On top of that my mate knew the history of the car and knew Tarek bought it for cheap as it had been crashed.

Cheers guys, yeah if anyone could help it would be much appreciated, seemed like a good dude, helpfull as and then once he rooted the engine and I decided against it he went quiet and haven't heard anything since, an address is all I need, can sort the rest from there,

cheers again.

tarek the tosser..

Hey mate, Tarek isn't part of Skylines Australia but he is part of the Owners Club on respective facebook pages - I'm sure he'll sort things out with you. Sounds odd for him cos he's a pretty straight guy and real nice too.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
