As you can tell from my subject I am not Happy!!! :P

Yes this is going to be one of those threads about a certain company who i shall remain nameless due to my respect for these forums.

Basically my line was for sale around a month ago. I had a few interested parties looking at making offers, but none more keen than a local import dealer. I recieved a phone call from the person in question, letting me know he had a client who was looking at purchasing a skyline to the exact same spec as mine. Since this dealer didn't have any stock to the same spec as mine, he was interested in buying my skyline from me, and selling it to his customer. Which to me sounded great, as he told me i would get exactly what i advertised the car for and wouldn't have to worry about trying to sell the car myself.

After discussing that he would need the car for 2 days to check it over and show the client, i agreed. The next morning i delivered the car to his yard where he informed me that the yard would buy the car on consignment, if the client agreed to purchase the car. The following day i called the yard and asked how everything went, he sadi the check was fine and the client was ahppy with the car and wished to purchase. The next step was the organisation of finance, which the car yard was to take care of, i was informed that payment would be made to me in around 5 working days, where the car had to reamin on his premises whilst it was pending sale. 5 days went by, i called the yard, and they told me there had been a hold up with the finance, because of the time of the year (was xmas at the time). Another week passes (where i had called him everyday of that week), still the same excuse. By this tim i had become suspicious, i went to the yard to make sure my baby was ok, which it was (phew!). Another week passes, by this time i was really pissed off, i had been without a car for 3.5 weeks, catching public transport, knowing my car was sitting in someone else's hands - not knowing what they were doing with it, plus they never had the decency to give me a courtesy car for the whole time i was left carless.

I then rang up the dealer and informed him i was coming to pick the car up immediately. After having the car back in my hands for 2 weeks, I have obviously realised he was leading me on the whole time (fair enough i feel like fool! ;) ) But I now have a burnt out clutch (of which i have done 1 burnout). What can i do? I dont have any evidential proof that he had the car (didnt sign any papers), plus i didnt take down the odometer reading b4 i gave him the car??

GRRRR.. i am not happy, I have stopped my self 3 times from marching into his office and breaking his n*&k!!!!!

Let this be a piece of advice to all of you - if you are selling your 'line and a dealer rings you up out of the paper, DO NOT GIVE HIM/HER YOUR CAR UNLESS THEY HAVE A SIGNED CHEQUE WAITING FOR YOU.

ps. if anyone wants to know who this dealer is, pm me. :)

Thanks for the sympathy guys, i have pm'd most of you the name of this business.

What's really shitting me though, is the fact my car is off the road, obviously due to someone else's abuse, and I have to pay for it!!!! of which i really cant afford at the moment!! :D

this is seeming very tempting right now!

I know i probably will not be able to get this b#$^$#d back for what he has done. But the least i can do is tell as many people as i can about this dealer so ;

a) no one else goes through this bullsh*t, and

B) he loses sales for his dodgyness!!!

justice will be served!!

yeah i can understand why your laughing he is the classic cliche dodgy car salesman, not only on looks, but the way he talks so sensless and fast paced. I am normally extremely weary of folk i sense dodgyness in, but i was too consumed in wanting to sell my line, and he had to really twist my arm for me to be convinced to leave my car with him. But i became suspicious when the idiot started using the same exuse every time i called him!

Ahhh, you don't need to pm his name to me. I know exactly who the ****sucker is from that description. Always thought he was a dodgey fcuk, after he jokingly threatened to let his dogs loose on us while we (aw11, zepsr20 and myself) were looking at cars around closing time.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
