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 :)

      Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
