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.... :-)

    • So the original radiator is leaking now. Looking at getting a fully aluminium one next. Am I correct in saying that the Series 2 Auto Stageas have a separate trans cooler from factory (located in between the rad and intercooler in my previous post/message).   Currently looking at Fenix $460, Blitz $700, GReddy $800, and KoyoRad $740. What are everyones thought on Fenix ( ive read a few comments saying theyre cheap Chinese rebrands etc and how their build quality is... well.. chinese...)  compared to the others? Worth the extra couple hundies?
    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
