just wondering if anyone's dealt with/bought cars thru autostyle in sydney? talked to dominic on the phone the other day and he seemed pretty reasonable but just wanted some opinions (if there are any) as to their service and the quality of their cars - thinking about buying thru them. any feedback would be cool, thanks guys

He's a premium dealer.

By that I mean you'll see a lot of cars which are cheaper than the ones he has in other peoples private adds and other car lots. But I mean you kinda take your life in your own hands picking out 2nd hand cars, least with Dom's you know its going too work, not f**k up or break down (well as much as you can expect from a performance car!), some dodgy chop job or stolen. Pretty handy for parts, services and support too.

Dunno how much my word is worth :whistling:

Makes any difference I've bought one car off him (I still own), friends have bought another 3 over the last 6years, end of this year I'll probably buy another of him because he's not a crook.

Up to you, if you can find an inspect a 2nd hand car which is the same condition for less money then by all means buy it.

They are crap.. went to look at a 32 ages ago.. he wanted too much for it.. bald tyres, cracked kit, cracked mirrors..

Wasnt impressed.. didnt like there service either.. so glad i didnt buy from them..

Dom always takes time to speak with you which i find good, but what price can you put on that?

When i was buying my R32 i was looking on the net, the papers, EVERYWHERE for weeks, i had a few i was keen on, then when i was ready to buy, 2 of the ones i wouldve bought were now at Autostyle, and marked up accordingly. I ended up buying privatly.

My mates dad bought a 310kw gtp falcon (orange, carbon bonnet, black rims farken beautiful!) from them with no problems, car was spotless condition, went like nothing i have ever experienced, (need a neck brace)...

was a good car at a bit of a premuim price but was worth it,

ended up selling the car back through them after a while of owning it, for a much cheaper price, yeah the falcons for holding their value!

didnt deal with them personally but thats just another story to add to the collection

Oh yeah,

Seen that there, very nice looking car.

They started getting alot more muscle cars in there now as well because the import scence has died down.

we took that car to bathurst last year for the big race, it got looks like you wouldnt imagine, i dont know why my mates dad sold that car, i loved it, he loved it, everyone loved it, maybe petrol consumption and worried about licences :)

88silhouette- the falcon was burnout tested by whoever from autostyle that took my mate and dad for a test drive :) it ripped some mad skidz ;)

id love to have a nice muscle car, dont see too many nice ones around nowadays

ah well sounds like they may be a bit overpriced but i just feel a bit more secure buying through someone with a reputation. i have a knack for buying lemons. thanks for all the feedback tho.

Well Dominic is a Family friend of ours and also Sam, they are really great people, some people say they are expensive but you get what you pay for I say..

If you ever seen his SKYLINE you'd know he is spot on with chosing cars carefully his car is an ANIMAL..

Dominic takes time with you he wants to Know exactly what you are after...

You wont be disappointed dealing with AUTOSTYLE mate....

Let us know the outcome ok.... :-)

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
