Max Power about your XR6t I unfortunately work at Adrian Brien Ford, I have seen this happen alot. We had a staff member whos bought a turbo for her husband, it had some clutch problems they wouldn't do it under warranty - this caused a lot of problems around the place as the are so F***ing lazy when it comes to warranty work.(sorry you can probibly tell that I absolutely hate my job and work but this is the truth about warranty work in dealerships they make more money out of the customer than they do Ford)

I hope my warranty works as i had to come home from the cruise early as my clutch is playing up!

I hate to say it whiplash but the clutch want come under warranty because it is classed as wear and tear I think. I had to replace mine myself $4500 later.

i went into redline a few weeks ago, looking around for my first skyline...however, i've been lurking round for a while checking out prices, and yeah they did seem a little expensive, 2-3k more than other places.

also, you'll be kinda hard pressed to find a GT-R there. the only one i saw was an R32. a lot of 32 and 33 GTS-T's, and most of these were pretty clean.

they're pretty good if you want a supra or 180sx as well, and one thing that i did notice that the brakes on a lot of the cars were very rusty, so that's something you probably should take into consideration when you look to buy...brakes aren't cheap.

new brake pads allways go rusty when i got new pads in my car i would get up and over night there was a rust like residue over my rotors

i dont think that is too much to worry about

A good option is interstate purchases, with RTA inspections and such .. They pick up pretty much everything and more in the way of faults. I saved myself quite a few thousand just by going interstate and driving it back (after taping up the front to prevent stone chips). I could've got it transported but how better to check a car for driving faults than driving it back from Sydney?

I went through http://www.japimports.com.au/ and found Brad Host to be a good, honest dealer. Couldnt be happier with my purchase, he even drove it to the airport for me to pick it up

They sell aftermarket warranties too for a reasonable price, not that I have had a need but I have called the firm querying. They cover almost everything, clutch, diffs, even exhaust

Maybe not relavent to the topic, but a possible other option

Interesting option, but do different states have different rules regarding compliance and what is and isn't legal?

For example, if I bought a car that was complied in VIC could it be possible that it is infact illegal in SA due to different laws? I am new to all these rules and regulations so please correct me if I am wrong..

Cheers for the link though!

^^^ yes that is spot on the money my opinion if u dont want to go over the pits @ regency is buy local

but it is a very good option too if u dont mind a visit to regency least it doesnt need full compliance i believe

Dun matter, own a Skyline and you'll be going over the pits sooner or later no matter where you buy it unfortunately. Bloody cops!
