(My first post!)

Recently, police have raided several dodgy Japanese Import dealers found tampering with odometers. Amongst those dealers, and possibly the worst of them all was Edward Lees, the self-proclaimed "Australia's Number 1 Import dealer" that has a reputation for being extra dodgy. Well, the snotfaced owner, Phil Lee, has decided to change the name of the business to Sun Rise Cars (sunrisecars.com.au) to avoid unwanted attention. They're already posting advertisements on Carsales, and are currently selling the "Best Fairlady Zed in the country". Beware.

I was there last week and the same knob with the same attitude. He reckons they could source us a R34 GTR V Spec II for $66k with a 42,000kms hahah what a clown. The business name is still Edward Lees on the site but the business cards and the paper work all says "Sun Rise Cars Pty Ltd" and he only had 25 cars in the yard and mostly the VW Kombi's.

Very legit business and legit km's guys....LOL

Did not think it would take Phil long to get back at winding back, he is a survivor.

The dumb crap about this is, he will get away with it and go on his merry way laughing :)

Our company laws seem stuffed or very slow to act and these blokes can just about do what they want?

I walked in one morning, only because I was next door looking a bali huts. It took the bloke no longer than 5 mins to start spinning off random bullshit about this particular 32 I was standing at.

"We also import genuine low kms GTR's" I just remember shrugging my shoulders and walking off.

Quite often, extracted duct tape will have a good fingerprint impression on it.

I wonder if anyone thought of checking that.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
