Bad news mate.

Totally his fault.

You wouldn't leave it running - esp at GTR!

Sunshine is full of junkies and dodgy people, so anyone in melb would know better than to leave a car running.

Either the guy is thick as 2 planks or his mates stole it.

Either way, I would get the law chasing him down.

Yeah i am not sure if the car is still around i hope it is he operates down in tasssie but i think stores cars next to this place a High Performance Nissan Mechanic down that road called 'Nismo' so mite be in your interest to inform them also, if any GTR parts come up for sale.

Yup. As has been said, go through your contract. If you don't have an eye for detail, for find the most anal friend you have and get them to help.

And go to the cops.

You got an address? We'll do some looking round :yes:

Don't post an address publicly. It may not help legal proceedings (if there ever are any), and probably open you up to litigation.

Of course, I'm not a lawyer.

still, go over the contract, be technical. If you didn't get the car, HE broke contract...

...not to mention, he is an idiot. Whether or not he did it, what an idiot.

see if you can get a hold of (or make sure the servo doesn't destroy) the tape of the incident, even if you can't see anything.

find every receipt, save every email. Its not every day that you get to say goodbye to.... what, on the order of 10K? to much to lose because of an idiot like that

Shop is not Nismo, it's actually Nisma(legal reasons) and i have never been impressed with the owner, heard a few things.

When you said Sunshine, private importer, i had a bad feeling it was him :unsure:.

Close enough to my house so i'll drive past and have a quick glance. Car looks very distinctive with those rims.

If you need any further help, drop me a PM.

i wouldnt bother looking for the rims on the car Al if u do go past be more on the look out for the marks on the body... the scuff marks on the paint and the rear bar with the flame plate on it

just reading all these posts and --- FARK! thats totally sh&t.

its a total bs story and gonna be hard to track down. I would be doing what everyone has suggested ASAP i.e. call the cops and tell them the full story. Write down all events for later reference. Also look at the contact...its pretty likely that without delivery fo the car there is no deal and I find it unlikey the guy can argue the situation was "out of his control" The fact the battery was flat etc seems all too convienent...and the cops will be right onto this.

Go see a proper solisitor/lawyer and get things going against the importer now...there is no way he is gonna give u back the cash without a fight. And u might find there is some out clauses in the contract also esp. for this situation - they might be the dodgy brothers.

totally bad luck mate. I'm sure evryone here will help u out if u need a hand or advice...

Yeah with the servo tape the police looked at it but i am not sure if they made any copys of it and it was on friday so they might of recorded over it i will have to get hold of bp in mcintyre road and ask the cops might have it not sure.. I just think it was really bad luck on his part but he knows he has to hold his own on this contract so he is dropping off this R32 gts-t to drive till he gets this other gtr ready for my by the 6th of august or give me the full amount of money back..

dont servo's have camera's absolutely everywhere? This is a $20K car not $30 bux worth of juice... Surely your situation is slightly more important...

Yeah mate i know plus all the interest i am paying on this loan is f**ked sorry about my language but it isn't a cheap exercise.

If it were me, I'd ask for all monies to be returned and change importers. Don't settle for some car this shonk choses, chose your own.

He was neglligent in his duty of care and therefore the sole responsibility lies with him. If you need to pursue this legally, you will be guaranteed of a win.

hehehehe completely off topic... but that just reminded me of fat tony from the simpsons :P

I'm afraid I must insist. You see, my wife, she has been most vocal on the subject of the pretzel monies. "Where's the money? "When are you going to get the money?" "Why aren't you getting the money now?" And so on.

Na i won't it has to be as good as my other one if not better but yeah i will not settle for something way less value i will get my money back rather then have a car and just start over again.

Been keeping an eye out the last few days. Nothing so far.

No parts have come up either.

In a legal sense, as long as you have a contract proving the agreement, you'll be ok, under the laws of Contract and the principles of Negligence would also apply here. Worst comes worse you should be able to get your money back (assuming this dodgey importer guy has money.)

Sorry to hear about this, the circumstances certainly do not add up.

But I notice you only joined up after it happened.

Too bad you did not get on here when you were only thinking about getting a Skyline and possibly get some good advice before buying.

We have to get the word out to more potential Skyline owners somehow via some free media exposure of a positive kind :wub:

Something like the Bikies doing the Kids Toy Run etc.

- That must be the reason they can ride around making 120db from the exhaust and you never see them pulled over.

sory to hear mate myne just got stolen to thers nothing worse hope it all works out ok 4 ya!!!!!

argh what no way you had insurance though didn't ya mate? it is absolute shit ey nothing worse then losing your bus.

    • All of those are near new/brand new/done under 10,000km! This means something! It also doesn't necessarily mean anything.... The idea is of course to fit wider tyres and rims, and to go with engine head updates, I'm sure it will be faster the subsequent time out. But TBH the difference will largely be in driver mod between one day and the next I'm sure. To say I am unseasoned after many years away from even driving remotely fast is an understatement. Giving it half throttle and "Whoa, that's a bit excessive.." and realizing I'm doing 80kmh in a 100 zone is evidence enough lol. I have noticed that there is heat haze/steam/air/something absolutely steaming out of the car after parking it. I didn't drive it in the 40C day for testing yesterday, but on Christmas day it was ~32 and you could literally see the air coming out from the bay after parking the car. Whether that's enough though..   
    • I'll take clutch for 50 Eddie.
    • Standard GTRs are boring and there plenty of them, do what ever you want to it and just remember nothing about them is cheap anymore and if you’re picky about how you want things done it gets even worse.    if it’s an n1 or something very limited then maybe care more about it’s heritage 
    • Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!
    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car
