PHUCK!! $28K??? they wanted $25K for mine (was on consignment) got it for $20K which isnt too bad at the time.

Actually (used to be a costing clerk for Skippers) there isnt much loading put on the cars .... what i think happens is the wholesalers buy the car at a too higher price in the first time cos Hughsie has this "at all costs get the business" then they put the normal loading on it ..... which is only about $2K after any work they've had to do on it. Where they make the big $$$ is the add-ons ... warranty, tint ....etc.

But when it comes to imports ..... my dad knows hughsies buyer and apparently he screwed over a couple of friends of my dads.... i dont think he has the best import buyer working for him .... its a husband and wife team .... and the wife goes to me once "Thats a nice Supra you have!" Its a ZX!!! an import buyer that doesnt even know the models!!

Yeah they were a bit more expensive but my old man has brought 5 cars of him now and now knows John personally. Really long story. Ask me in person if ya really wanna know. Compression test? I had no idea what that was back then. and only know a little more. But they sought a couple of things out for me like insurance and i got my pick of car mats and shit,

haha Milo ...um mats n shit dont mean shit if your car blows up .... trust me those cars dont get driven lightly by the Salesreps ..... my ex picked me up in a Skyline once (white one) after we had broken up .... he was doing donuts in the middle of Vic Park in it .... hehe then stopped and about 10metres down the road was cops. Just hope Toby hasnt driven it ..... he's blown up about 3 cars there. Compression test would be the first thing i do if i bought any imports off a caryard.

It seems quite good so far... touch wood. That mathew flegg seemed a bit pushy if i remember. Coz we were not dealing with him, only this other guy named john (not hughes).

John hughes son took me out for a test drive in a burgandy Skiyline manual and he was awesome. Even told me to put my foot done a bit.... to see if i like it. Nah he was a serious straight forward guy. probablt coz he doesnt need to make any extra money.

haha but its not John Hughes .... Johns a great guy .... its the people he employees like Mat ..... These people take the cars home ..... those stories were tame - theres ones where guys have got drunk and kicked in door panels on WRX (actually that was my ex and an older married should know better mate of his)Just next time - John maybe a great trustworthy guy .... but none of his employees are especially Mat .... will PM you a little story about him .... just next time - get the cars checked over with a fine tooth comb!!

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
