Has anyone bought a car of Platinum vehicle sales Brisbane or had a RAWS compliance done by there workshop ?

I can't find any info anywhere about them apart from their own advertising.

Not saying there's anything moody but I'm thinking of buying a car of them and I'm just a bit uneasy .

:woot:

Do the normal checks see if you can get a copy of the Japanese auction sheet to. I think some people on the forum that can help with that

They sent me all the paperwork and it checks out ---the price is quite something else though , eeeek , :starwars:

Did you end up buying from platinum vehicle sales? I just bought a v36 from them and had it shipped to Adelaide

Failed vechile inspection because they hadn't changed the catalytic converters at compliance. Now I have the big expense to change them and they refuse to help

Yep I bought an EVO 7 GTA of Platinum , had some problems with the suspension --like 2 out of the 4 struts were rooted and the usual service everything bullshit , timing belt etc that you just have to expect with every import , Platinum came to the party mostly on the suspension and the car was a good quality unit overall , I'm still driving it quite happily 15 months later without any dramas.

My partner is a paralegal and I don't piss about being nice I go legal straight away with warranty issues ,and I mean straight away.

Gotta know that a single front strut OE , just the strut is $765.00 if you need incentive,

Paid primo price but it was either that or buy out of state and all the bullshit that goes along with that little fandango., has all the auction papers Jap gov klm certs , Jap Mits OE log and service books from new , revs paperwork shit etc so I reckoned it was worth the coin.

Don't look for a tradeback anywhere with the Eagers group if you're looking to buy another car though, I did it as a half way serious exercise on a newby about 5 months ago , they wont even return your calls ,rude pricks.

Sorry to hear you're having issues , why wont they come to the party , I'd be guessing that it's because they didn't have to give you a roadworthy out of state or that the Queensland roadworthy isn't recognised in SA ?

How much did you pay for compliance? Most charge between 2k to 3k where as the cats themselves cost around 2.5k so i dont think there are any workshops out there that do change cats on these cars unless otherwise you pay for them.

My EVO GTA was complied by GT Compliance in Silverwater NSW not by Platinum or Eagers (group) who own Platinum and whilst the compliance certificate and paperwork were with the rest of the paperwork that came with the car the actual invoice for the compliance work wasn't .

Interestingly my cat is down as having been changed in the compliance paperwork .

I have had the new cats fitted and credit to Platinum Dealer Principal Michael Kennedy who paid for the new cats. Once I managed to get past the salesman and service manager and talked to Michael the issue of who was going to pay was resolved in less than five minutes. Guess I was lucky!

Well done , and good on Platinum , did you not get the compliance paperwork with the car , what has been changed and done to the car at compliance is all in that ? --as well as who did the job.

Maybe ask them for a copy of the compliance certificate and paperwork for your records if you haven't got it.--just a thought---- :smile:

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
