Skyline Importers in SA & other mysteries to me

[Guest g0d]

Hi peoples, some questions

I'm looking to buy a good 94/95 R33 skyline turbo automatic in SA. My question is though, who are the good importers and dealers, and who are the shonks? Does anyone have some bad or good experiences to share here when buying their first skyline?

Some other questions would be, where do I look for rust on a Skyline? What should I be aware of in regards to finding engine troubles with the skyline while still in the yard?

Who in SA would I approach about inspecting a skyline before I buy? RAA are mostly crap it seems, but surely there must be a good Nissan Import expert out there who can check over a car before I part with the Banks money.

Any help here appreciated folks, I'd like to be an educated buyer before i throw down cash.

Best Importer has to be XXXXX, I can talk from experience because I got my R33 thru them, they know there stuff and dont bullshit u.

Worst in my books is XXXXXXX, I originally went there looking for info and wanting to import and got treated like a dreamer, unless u go in there with the money hanging out your pocket they dont give a rats about u.

As for dealers the most shonky are either "XXXXXXX" and "XXXXXXX" ...stay well clear.

XXXXXXXX has shonky shit and over priced cars, and XXXXX charges double what the cars are actually worth, basically both ripe off the unknowing.

Also I would try to get the most stock as car u can find, the less mods the more chance u have of getting a car that hasnt been thrashed.... for example a car with aftermarket turbo, FMIC, ECU upgrade etc u can pretty much bet its been hammered.

At the end of the day if u want a good car go to an importer, if u want to get rheemed both with the purchase of the car and service after then go to a dealer.

Not to sure about who to inspect a vehicle , as mine was imported for me so Regency did that when they complianced it.
