paul bell saves the day again! state roads are great.

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

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.

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!

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

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

i saw it on carsale i think he was asking for 9 or 10k. i offer 7k he didnt take it lucky for me he goes nah im looking for around 9.5k i thinks

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,

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.

was the owner a young asian guy or any asian guy if so i went to look at a series 1 33 wit a f*ked up rear bumper he loooked sus and then 2 weeks later he had this white r33 series 2 up for sale with the same add his reason for selling was he needed a 4 doors car if so stay away from this dude his a dud

  • 1 year later...

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 :D

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.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
