whats the reason behind this????

Sold me a car that could not be driven, and had LOTS of illegal parts on it

After they had my money they would not even talk to me

They did not change the tires on the car to aus. legal tires

Alam was not wired correctly, and drained the battery

Spacers on the wheels - wheels rubbed into the wheel guard

POD filter not secured and not covered

etc

etc

etc

We went there once and MOST of their cars are in really crap condition....You have to be careful with places like that....they'll rip ya off.... :( Especially around the Northern Suburbs area....Did you go down there to purchase the car??

Yep, JSA is well known for that sort of stuff.

It's kind of a big joke really

Sorry to hear about what happened.

Why can't it be driven?

Yeh flew down to Melb to buy the car. They took everything off the car, got it complied and then put it back on - i didnt know at the time half of it was not legal... by the time i found out it had been a fair while.

It can be driven now, but i had to spend a LOT to get it drivable and legal

Tires scrubbed out when driving over a little bump or cats eye due to spacers

I have been having an ongoing battle with them and they threatened to "countersue" if I proceeded with legal action.

ahh I see.. yer thats pretty dodgy.

The car was stock when i test drove it (they said for compliance they had to have it stock)

Then they said i would get all these nice extra bits (most of which were illegal)

They complied it, then wacked all the other stuff on, trucked it up to me and then wouldnt talk to me

R33 GTS-t

Problems were:

Alarm incorrectly wired

Spacers

No hub locators (dangerous)

Cat back exhaust (not turbo back as promised they would put on)

No coil over suspension as promised

Tires not Aus. legal

AND they void the warranty they supplied before i got the car (it is only valid if car is STOCK - what a scam)

tell them your gonna take am to consumer affairs and see how quickly they change there tune then :(

I've done that

They threatened to counter sue, and consumer affairs said i have to take it up to the next level because it has been 12 months now, im still finding things to fix, only JUST found the battery drain problem last month (it was the alarm which they installed)

Has anyone sued a car yard in a similar situation before?

I am 90% decided I will go down this road very shortly

lol. i fail to see what case they would have if they counter sue... judginy by what you said they've participated in illegal business practices

unless you signed some form of contract i dunno what they can counter sue you with

Well I dont think its legal to strip a car down, comply it, and they put the parts back on to sell it.

Im sure if they tried to comply it with the jap tires etc then it would not have passed, so how can they expect me to drive it like that if it would not comply.

The "counter sue" was just a bluff I expect, what can they sue ME for? being dumb enough to buy a car from them is all I can think of

      Starting again

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
