The Place That Sold You Your Nissan?


Recommended Posts

Out Of Interest:

SJV35 put up a +ve thread about his new purchase.

So this prompts me to ask...

Did the guy/place who sold you your grey import treat you ...

i) like a bum on a seat?

ii) like a valued customer?

iii) with indifference?

Without naming names & no risk of slander,

I bought my R33 GTR from a guy at Caringbah who was desperate to sell after owning it for 3 weeks (due to apparently, $$$ trouble).

Result? Great car but I had to replace a tailshaft a month later

I bought my R34 GTR from a small import firm in Castle Hill

Result? No problems really: biggest issue was the oil pump 1 year later

Both guys treated me fairly respectfully.

So after seeing (warning) posts about 'don't go here' or 'don't go there', what has been your experience in your big purchase of a grey import ??

bought my first 32 gtst fom a car yard on paramatta rd just off the m4 (sum people will know the 1 im on about) They didnt tell me much bout the car and after i purchased it there was no after sales support 1 month after i had it i found the abs module leaking rang them up and they couldnt of cared. i had 2 go find my own.

Then when i bought the 34gtt i bought it from Autostyle prestige and performance. the sales man was vito and he was very helpfull during the sale and after sale when i got home and put the car on the hoist at work i noticed all 4 tyres were on the indicators im rang them up and they organised sum tyres 4 me and helped with the payment of the tyres.

How my car passed the "roadworthy inspection" when the dealership sold it to me, I don't know, with bald inner front tires and undersize rotors to name a few things, what a laugh. Maybe it had something to do with the dealership shop doing the roadworthy.... Not impressed :)

    • Looks like a healthy scene. You've had an R34 before?  What are your plans?
    • So here is local scene in my city, not much but we are always welcome for any foreign Nissan sport cars buddies!
    • Hey man Thank you! Excited to be here Mostly 4 doors ER, HRs not much of 2 doors, I personally know 3 guys that have coupes And yeah, they are some BNRs, BCNRs, not that much left, some of them went to EU.   Thanks, actually the conversion was done by previous owner, I wanted to get it even when it was 20DE AT cause the chassis was taken care well but getting it with MT turbo wasdefinitely an additional pleasure 😃   
    • Hey guys   I'm pretty sure this question was asked before, I had an HR34 before, got another one again and I never gave much attention to this but wanted to ask you guys about dropping or pushing bonnet problem. ER, HR got pretty heavy steel bonnets, I'm sure S chassis and other R chassis gens also got heavy bonnets. I used to push it after I gently put it down on the latch but I saw some videos guys dropping it from 30-40 cm and some say it's more reliable way to make sure it's safely closed. I let it drop a couple times from like 30-40 cm and it's locked no problem but it gives me that bad OCD feeling after that that something is damaged lol, the bonnet rubbers is there, guess they handle that little fall energy well and the latch itself is what stops the bonnet right?  Talked to other Skyline owners, some say both methods are fine, some against dropping it by any means, some drop all the time no problem. So I'm like confused if I was doing it wrong or not and if I already messed up something. ...and jealous of my friend's Z, dropping aluminum bonnet feels so much right and better haha
