Hi guys,

Anyone who has bought cars from them before could you please share some experience? How has your car been running so far? Are you happy with their service especially after sale service? Any feedback is welcome

Thanks

1st post asking about a shop and if any one has been ripped off by them.

Reason being?

If your looking for feedback on good experiences with Importers there is a thread.

Most don't post openly bad experiences re shops due to libel / defamation laws.

You may get some Private Messages (PM's) tho.

Edit: a quick search on "sports auto group" will come up with results :thumbsup:

^^ as stated Qisong.

If you wish to broaden your spectrum of research, besides the thread "If You're Happy With Your Import, Who Brought It In?", consider this...

that Sports Auto Group has been affiliated with AllImports (now renamed) and Motor Point

I impulse bought my 32 from them when my brother went in to look at a rex.

Paid overs for it but no complaints about the car, didn't have any hidden issues they would have known about and their service at the time of sale was great.

Bit disappointed that they sold me a 3 year warranty with the car claiming that it would be covered only to find out it doesn't cover a vehicle with aftermarket modifications when am arm snapped and shattered the clutch and flywheel. Not sure if they just didn't know it wouldn't be covered or wanted to make some extra coin.

Also don't expect much help from them once you have paid for and taken the vehicle.

That said I have had worse experiences with private sales

Looks spammy, especially listing the address as thread title... this is not the first time I've seen a random newbie post like this...

I got my car from them. If I could go back in time I would re consider giving them my money. The car is in really good shape, suprisignly genuine kms. But there customer service isnt great, I had a few problems that didnt cost me too much but were just shitty to have happen to me two days after buying the car. Just do your reasearch on the car you are looking at. Get it checked out by a mechanic and do all the nesecary paperwork checks.

I said I was one of their customers I am happy with the car but extremely unhappy with their service. This is the experience I had with them I am just trying to see if they treat all the customers the same or is it just me.

Thing is I want to see the car before I purchase it. I have had issues before with importing cars through a broker. I have no doubt that Iron Chef is good, its just there are some things that are out of his control.

I purchased an elgrand through a broker and in the process of it arriving one of the remotes got stolen from the port. It only had one key. Issues like that is why i wouldnt do it again. Would prefer to find one here and know its got all that.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
