Anyone?

If an R33 4D will do go have a look at Autoworx site, you'll find my old 4door for sale at a good price, it's an auto though. It's in excellent cond., the big service was done early this year and goes exceptionally well. I had it for 5 years and only did 32k kms in that time. Bought a 4 door at the time because I needed more convenience for my daughter's little bub. The car is a gem and you wouldn't be disappointed.

No one has ADR 29 for the crash test on the doors and no one is going to do them so what is in the country is about all the R32 4 Doors you will ever see.

I know of 2 in Perth alone that are going to be scraped as they were told they can come in but someone was wrong.......

Another vote for Autoworx, Pauls a top bloke!

neg for down under autos thats just around the corner they talk a heap of shit about my cars condition when i bought from someone else

Autoworx is also cheaper though there yard doesnt look as flashy!

Hi, Guys, Welcome to the cold, hard world of car dealers and servicing. You need to be very careful about condemning any business on the basis of one poor experience. By all means do your own thing and never go there again. Tell your mates as well, if you like. But don't bad-mouth them on a forum like this. At least you have tried to describe your experience, Catch...32. I would suggest you let others draw their own opinion.

As for you, Monga, your judgment is about as accurate as your spelling.

I bought my first Skyline from Downunder Autos and they serviced it for me for over two years until they moved to Wangara. They gave me a good deal on the car and I found their service and servicing to be excellent.

I bought my current car from Imports 101 (an R34 GTR V Spec II). Danny and his team have been great and provided me with a fantastic car, which they are looking after as if it was their own.

My experience with both of these garages/workshops and many others before with various cars has always been the same. Things can go wrong with any car. If you talk to the guy at the workshop and let him explain what is going on, you will not only understand the issue, but you will be able to be part of working out a reasonable solution. If you blame the workshop for things going wrong on your car, then you are in dreamland. I have no doubt that there are some dodgy characters out there, but they are few and far between. You may find, though, that your attitude and approach to an issue will affect how a busy workshop owner deals with you. The best ones will always spend time on customer relations. Most are more likely to show the human failing of lack of patience with a problemmatic customer. So if you want good service, talk to the people. There are two ends to every conversation!

Cheers. :ninja:

Danny always demands the best from any work he gets us to do and with the cars he gets thru there will be the odd job that can go wrong as with anything in life but he will always sort it for you.

MLCrisis,It was very hard to not run away with your car when it went on the Dyno,So close to perfect.

ml crisis i can see your point of view how bad it looks slagging off a business on a forum like this, but i got stooged big time and im not happy about it.

this was my sad attempt to warn others.

two things important in any service:

1 being upfront about the cost

2 problem fixed when drive out driveway

neither of these were satisfied when i'd left [edited by Sneeza - business name removed]. the mechanic was friendly and knowledgable, yet the owners had nothing but dollars on their mind.

just sharing an experience that left a real bad taste in my mouth so to speak.

in the end how much weight you put towards opinions expressed here is your choice , just sharing the love or lack thereof

MLCrisis,It was very hard to not run away with your car when it went on the Dyno,So close to perfect.

Thanks, N I B. I am still in the constantly smiling phase after getting the car. I keep finding excuses to walk through the office car park just to look at it! It is a belter. Danny did me proud.

Catch...32, thanks for your more reasoned comments. It would be interesting to know their side of it.

Cheers.

+1 for Autoworx. Been in the game for quite some time, every car i have seen there appear to be very great condition.

+1 for Import101. I was very close to buying a car from him but stumbled on one locally from a dealer that was exactly what i wanted! (However, i will never grace said dealer's business doors again as he didnt seem to interested in "after sales service" (warranty issues) or anything unless i was going to spend $5000 or more!)

  • 1 month later...

Well... after reading all this I just signed up on imports101. They only have 1 car I'd think of getting - but I sent an email to start the process.

Should I contact anyone in particular?

btw looking for an R34 GTT yr 2000+ :P

EDIT: Also just sent an email off to Distinctive Car Imports.

Danny is the main man so most will go through him, Katrina is also very helpful but she's taking time off to have a baby very soon so hopefully everything can keep running smoothly :P Tessa would probably be your first contact, but really anything to do with purchasing/auction etc would be Danny, he's very busy so you might not be able to get through to him straight away but he'll be able to find you what you want :D

agree's with Nathan.:)

Danny will find you exactly what your looking for and the whole team at imports 101 will make sure you get a good car.

i got my gtr through them 2 years ago and am still extremely happy with it

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
