ok, my mate brought a s1 r33 from there, stock except it had a gtr kit on it - auto

he has now:

exhasut

fmic

fuel cut defender

boost controller

since he got the car mid last year he has not been able to run more than 5 psi through it due to it missing VERY badly - he has chnged spark plugs, coils, got it tuned done a shitload of stuff to it and no fix....even at about 8PSI is starts ****ing up - not sur whats wrong - but it was like that when he got it - he also got ripped off a bit - he raced off and brought the first one he seen and paid 24000 for it....

another mate just brought a yellow s1 33 from there - all stock except an exhaust - i aint had a look at it yet so i'll get back to you :) But the car has been there for about 7 months or some shit....a bit strange

These guys to me sell some nice car - but fairly expensive...

I'm pretty sure an acquantance of ours bought a soarer from there. It was one that we were looking at which is why I know this feedback. He had it for a few weeks and the turbos blew. The company replaced them AFAIK which was really good.

That's all I've heard about them. Andrew probably has a more accurate account of the event.

you've probably already done this but gapping the plugs is usually the most common cause for that sort of missing. My car did it briefly even with brand new plugs, gap them to .8 and all is fine. Like i said youve probably already done this but if you havent it would definately be worth a try. g/l

From the couple of times i've been there, i've noticed that alot of their cars are overpriced, but you get that with dealers.

I also know they were selling a dodgey Skyline (Sorry, i can't remember if it was a '32 or a 33... it was too long ago... think it was a 33 tho)...

By dodgey i mean it was a frontcut and a rearcut welded together... I know this because a panelbeater near my place was the one that welded them together... saw it in there a couple of times during the process, and after painting. I then saw the car sitting in AJM about a month later. You can't miss it... its fluroescent green with 2 big, fat, black racing stripes over it. (it was at last years brisbane Autosalon too)

And you can live with yourself knowing this fact and doing nothing about it?

quite a lot of imports are half cuts put together... im not suprised at all as i know someone that did a few a few years back.. He assured me though if the job was done 100% right and with care then it was all good...

Problem with that is.... there are a lot people out there rushing jobs to make the quick $$$

There's some dodgy workmanship out there on the roads!!

But back to the point about AJM... had a few friends that have bought cars from there... one car was great and the other car was a shitter!! But its pretty much like that on most yards... get the good with the bad and vice versa..

I think they are a tad bit expensive though.. thats my 2cents worth!!

Mate, there's not a great deal i could do about it. its not 'illegal' in the sense of the term. They would just argue that they were a professional panel shop and that it was carried out properly, blah blah blah.. and besides that, they closed down a few weeks later and moved to the northern territory or something.

I've been letting everyone know about it at every chance i get, so that if they do come across it, they know to leave it well enough alone. So its not like i've just been turning a blind eye to it or whatever, i've been trying to warn people away from it.

      Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By Spearzy999 · Posted

      Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.

      I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
