Yea they are and I must say that I think the overall positive response.....and now that i think of it I don't think i've read one bad comment about them, is huge in this forum. Maybe SkylineAustralia could affiliate with them some how and members could get a discount?....*hint hint* hahah just a thought

[saff_cossie]

Very interesting read and good to see members putting up this info. Am impressed with how thorough the report is and the price is a small one for what could have been a lemon in your hands.

[LEANBAC]

nice work!!! its good to see that someone takes the time to go over cars compaired to RACV ERRRR!

maybe you should have offered him 2k an used it as a drifter?

[quiksta]

I had Paul Bell inspect my GTR before i purchased it. I was very happy with his service that i used him again fro my gf's Jazz. State Roads FTW.

i was about to buy that car!!!! phewwww. lucky he didnt take my offer

[trel]

yea, state roads inspected mine. paul bell was the testers name he was REALLY thorough with it too. I had another car checked by him 2 weeks prior to me buying my skyline best money i ever spent. Takes you outside afterwards too in private away from the seller to talk to you about the car. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

That guy should be happy with ANY offer, just out of curiosity where did you he his car? When I looked for it again it looked like he took all the ads down

[L.B.]

i checked out that car myself as well

sounded dodgy walked away

thinkin of a r32 who can tell me if its worth it or not

I'm in the market for a 33 GTR at the moment. Decided to jump onto the forums to see if there are any good deals besides just relying on carsales.com . Had a DC2 type R before this, had stateroads to do a check and they were very thorough. Definitely recommend anyone who wants to buy a car to do a pre purchase inspection.

Cheers,

Daniel

Just a heads up for people wanting to buy a particular car that is on the For Sale section in these forums. I'm not going to name specifically which car here, but one of the R33 GTR for sale in Victoria was an accident car that got smashed pretty bad in the front.

As posted on previous posts in this thread, i don't think it is against forum rules to warn fellow members.

so why not post which car it is...its only fair to members to be warned

I think that is a good idea (waring members) basically i think their should be a thread....maybe this one? where ppl post what they have noticed/found about the car but I think as a fair rule you have to provide supporting evidence i.e. creditable damage report (State Roads/RACV Pre-purshase report) or Pictures of the notable damage with an identifiable feature (partial or full plates (license/VIN) Other rules I think should include No personal judgments, No identifiable information (name, specific address (I think just include the area), phone number) what do you think guys? If this is ok with the members I'll swing it buy the mods and get their opinion.

As long as there is a credible report from a recognised independent party (like state roads etc) then there is no issue with posting the report as anyone could attain it in their own checks, just saves some leg work.

to this thread !

couple of years ago i bought a r32 gtr from sydney of a member here. greek god or something

it was cheap. i payed 15 grand for it. i looked under the car, and saw a crushed bit of the chasis rails (possibly where it had been jacked up wrong)

i asked him he said he "has never jacked up the car"

anyway

i bought it back down to melb, ran in to some financial difficulties.

rego ran out

had to re register it get a roady

i got a roadworthy, a very expensive one lol

took it to vicroads, jsut to get the guy there to tell me he wont let it pass the inspection... had to get another roady from somewhere else..

so i put it up for sale, some of you might remember...

in my eyes the car was perfect. cept for 1 scratch.

anyway this guy called up from interstate, an older fella. wanted a nice car again. very nice dude. he asked if he could get the car checked.

i said yep no worries

to my amazement. "it was one of the worst examples of a GTR" the inspector had seen.

the guy who was interested in my car, obviously didnt buy it.

another member on the forum, bought that car off me, but before he did i told him exactly what he was getting himself in to, that there needed to be some extensive repairs.

engine was perfect

driveline was perfect

just the body itsself. nothing on the panel side, just the chasis/underneath

i will definatly use these guys for the next car i buy! DEFINATLY WORTH IT

was the owner a young asian guy or any asian guy

No, I'm pretty sure he had an Azerbaijani mum and his dad was from Burkina Faso. He was a kinda green colour and I think he had a purple arse.

Anyway, the dead giveaway was that he was dumb, racist and illiterate. Do NOT buy cars from anyone who matches this description.
