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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
