Sent them an email about 2 weeks ago regarding a rear bar they have up on their site, no response so far... But then again, I should just call them... Havent bought a car through them, but if your looking for a r33 , take a look on the cars for sale on this forum, there are a few nice ones going for good prices...

Cheers

It's very hard to be bluntly honest in an open forum, but there are a lot of better Skyline dealers than Envy...

Try Prestige at Balgowlah, they usually have a nice range of cars & seem like straight up guys to deal with - I didn't buy a car from either of them because I found the right car privately.

Hey Guys - more northern beachies eh?

Yeah there are a lot of things to be said about envy, unfortunately you can't go into the negatives on this forum due to liability issues. (ie, you bag them, i get sued :P).

Christian

Thanks guys,

I wasn't out to bag Envy, I am just tring to norrow down who to look at in Sydney before I get there next Monday, As I won't have alot of time to waste with no hopers. And I saw a couple of cars I thought looked half decent on there web site.

I would love to just pay cash for a members car because I know I won't get ripped off ( i would hope so anyway :jk: ). But i have an Olf 95 ef falcon with heeps and heeps of KLM's on board which i want to get rid of in the proccess, and i have found it hard to see it privately.

So I will definately check out Prestige. Any other dealers? Come on guys, You are all driving around in your great skylines. You must have seen some decent cars in deals yard that you can say might be worth a second look. I won't be leaving for Sydney till early Monday morning (3.5 hr drive) so I will check back to see what you guys have said

Cheers

madcabbie: From what I understand, envy is on the borderline of going down the plug hole.

As Prank said, there are several stories about their dealings, most of which are negative and therefore wont be mentioned.

I have some friends who have bought cars from them and dealt with them for servicing etc and werent overly happy.

On the other hand, Northshore prestige gets glowing reports for their honesty and quality cars. Good prices too, so it would be worth your while to go and have a chat to them

I couldn't help but notice you were looking at 33's on the Northen Beaches..

I know you wernt keen on buying privatly but I just thaught I would let you know that I've got an R33 for sale which you may be interested in, drop me a PM if you want to know more..

Apart form that I found Envy to be ok .. mind you the few times i went in there was about 3 years ago.

so things apparently have changed.

Oh, and Just Jap at Kirrawee has a couple of nice 1996 model white GTS-T's in good condition for around $22k.

Thanks Blitz,

I was budgeting for around $19k mark with my trade. Got finance aproval for $15k

I guess I could always see if the dealers are willing to do a better deal on finance and maybe go a little higher.

theres an idea..lol

I posted this in another thread about Sydney dealers, but I suggest you stay away from most of the dealers along Paramatta Rd (there is a bunch of them.. I think the suburb is Concord). I spent some time at a number of dealers looking at cars and almost without exception they were unhelpful, rude, and in one case wouldn't even let you test drive a car until you agreed to buy it (most would just flatly refuse). :confused:

LW.

the last time i was in Sydney, just over 6 months ago, looking at imports, one dealer said sure you can test drive, Once i put down a deposite. Like I went back there again. :throwup:

I have had the displeasure of dealing with these asshats..... And I shall never deal with them again.

They charged me a stupid amount for tasks which were either poorly completed or not completed at all;

Take for example the $83 "New Battery Install" which wasn't even a new battery, nor installed, heck it wasn't even secured. It appeared they grabbed another battery out of another car and just chucked it in there. And I litterally mean chucked. It wasnt tied down, screwed in, nothing. Just sitting there.

And then there's the "New Wheel Studs" Oh, I mean the "Hey this bolt fits, lets chuck it on" That was also awesome.

Awful and would not reccomend them.

I'm gonna start a business selling imports - Called NO BULLSHIT IMPORTS.

 

Do you reckon it will work ???

I know your taking the piss, but being serious for a moment, I think there is definately room in the Sydney market for another straight foward, no BS importer.

LW.

Thanks for all the advice. Looks like i will be staying clear of Envy.

Thanks duncan, those at Powerplay look real nice but just outta price range.

I am thinking that since i have finance approved for $15k, I might ask Unique if they wanna finance me $20k and get me a GTR....yummmmyyyyy. Think i would rather a GTR for 25k than a gts-t for same price. :mad:

With that performance who needs mods. plus i can insure it for $850 full comprehensive......hmmmmm....even better huh

thanks again guys for all your advice.

heres hoping i be a skyline own real soon

Hey I'm selling my GTST so of course I've got a bias.

But, for god sake don't buy an 89 GTR if you are on a budget. seriously. I bought a cheap 91 gtr myself and they will need a heap of money spent on them...don't forget they are 15 year old performance cars and they lead a hard life...and, they cost twice as much to fix.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
