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.

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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
