John is a nice guy BUT.......

he has heaps of timewasters taking up his days and doesnt want to deal with tyre kickers.

If you like a car on his website, ring him, organise a time to look a the car, take a $500 cash deposit.

Inspect the car very well and if you like it, give him the deposit. Dont bother trying to haggle, the prices are firm.

I bought a 32 from him about 6 weeks ago and everything was good, I replaced the front discs and upper control arm bushes then got through regency first time :angry::(:):)

Bought a turbo 5 speed r32 from him in february.

Car was a good deal, just needed some bushes replaced and hicas locked out.

Like BigMickey said, he gets lots of tyre kickers wasteing his time.

Its sometimes hard to get in touch with him and prices are firm.

Just make sure you have a good look at the car before taking it.

Hello Ive bought eight cars off him now for me and for mates and only been stung once hes a champ but be sure not to rush looking at the car I bought a black cefiro off him bout 4-5 months ago to find it had been half cut to shit and the sills were rusted and dented in under the side skirts all my fault though looked at the car in the dark got excited cause it was a sexy bitch and took it home :D so yeah be sure to look THOUROUGHLY rails and sill panels, anyways good luck man :D

my mate bought a nissan march off him, until he had the money in his hand he was a bit of a prick, most of the cars he sells need some attention but thats why they are so cheap. As everyone says just take your time!

Yeh haven't really heard too much about him, apart from a mate buying a Cefiro from him, and wasn't the best buy but hey that explains the price. Maybe if you need a track car this will be all good, I personally would go through Prestiege, or just buy one in the country that is already complied.

Yahoo Motorsport Thats a link to his webpage.

As it appears I as well as half of Adelaide bought an R32 off him, same deal carry out a decent inspection and you'll be alright.

Just another note if your buying a 32 it seems like I'm not the only one whos had to replace the upper control arm bushes to get through Regency. It cost me around the $450 mark to get adjustable ones put in. Keep these kind of costs in mind.

Yea bought a few cars off him. Trick is to be the 1st one in toc heck the new arrivals!

Its the first in ,best cars type. Just got my 4th r32 and it was in immaculate condition. Every issue that isa ssociated with r32 was fixed in japan! worked a treat through regency.

With complaince, my mate does it really cheap. Z imports, and many dealers go through him and he gets engineered certificate through Rory Thompson.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
