I bought my first skyline from them before and they are very good to me. Even in after sale service. I personaly vote for them.

My mate was after some cheap rims and he didnt want to buy brand newy's so i suggested to try an importer or parts shop. I told him kamikaza might have some spare stuff and he went over and picked up some schlick looking 18x10s Rays rims for his car.. Said the guy was real good to deal with.. Thats my 2c worth...

I bought my R33 from them and Im very happy with the car........but i'd never go back again. They have no clue whats going on, and they are also very dishonest.

After my first service, there was a rattle.. so i took the car back the next day, that afternoon i call them up.. "yes yes its all fixed".. I had heard from the people at the tinting shop next door my car had been in the driveway the entire day. Funnily when I got it back it still had the same rattle. 3 visits back it was all fixed!!!

Not to mention they helped themselves to my stock intercooler in the boot.... helped them selves as in stole.......

and they also "replaced" my brilliant windscreen wipers with some pieces of crap which dont actualy seem to wipe anything (kinda odd..).

My $850 new clutch I purchased from them also turned out to be worth about $300. I know places add on markup obviously but thats ridiculous.

anyways so to summarise stay clear of them. Its time all these dodgy places smarten up.

Also normaly I wouldnt be so mean publicaly but im just answering somebodies question (theres more as well, but the above should cover it for now)

i have been there a few times and the guys are very helpful, but i wouldnt trust the km on the cars personally, i have seen to many with 60,000 km which look like they have done 200,000km...

as long as you know what you are looking for you shouldnt have a problem....

Vinh1981, I think he is referring to the nunnawading store as I remember the tint professor is right next door. I'd stay away from tint professor as well. LOL

[justin911]

ya im talking about the nunawading store.

Tint professor people were gr8 btw, they gave me great deal on tinting AND they kindly told me how my car hadnt been worked on all day (like kamakazee motors had told me) but instead sat in there driveway.

Oh btw, I got my car in december 2004.

A few weeks ago when I moved I told vicroads i changed my address, so i had to change my licence / car rego. Surprise surprise they hadnt bothered to tell vicroads it was now MY car.... 6 months on.

I think these days you could find a car waaaay cheaper if you bought it privately, seems most ppl get desperate to sell real quick.

The only advantage if you buy it through an importer is you get conned into buying the $$$$ warranty which doesnt actualy cover anything when your car brakes down

[justin911]

which car you want to buy from them anyways ?

[GTSR22]

guys i have been there a couple of times, just to look and they had some rough stuff in there with low k's

bye

[DazWah]

[vinh1981]

Tint professor might have good prices but there quality is not up to scratch.

Drove home with a few bubbles(spears). Managed to push a couple down but there was one obvious one that remained. Took it back and they had to do one whole window again. Drove home and the next day another spear appeared. I had to keep pushing it down every day until it totally dissappeared.
