You would think someone with such a large company being on car magazines etc and being in the game for longer than others would try and hold some sort of rep with the skyline community which is or should i say was a large majority of your clientele. Guess not! trying to rip off some poor bloke for a few thousand bucks? :D

I know times are tuff! But common mate, you seemed like a fair bloke @ autosalon. But after reading this thread i wouldn't let you touch any of my mates cars with a 10 foot pool. You claim its a guinene s-tune, show us some proof? BTW were not all tossers! :banana:

I swear, I have never been more entertained then I have tonight, firstly this thread has to be the best ever, and the other was Luckiee getting banned in another thread....

GTR-PWR good on you for questioning him and doing your research before buying a GTR. What a rat, I can't believe this dickhead is still in business.

Alright, so everyone is saying its not an S Tune, thats fine - its just that he is so adamant that the engine is a S Tune since it has the 'S' on the block number. The engine cover looks standard so I think he is full of BS too, or just misinformed.

Whatever the case this is all good info and will help me bargain down the price. I will get the front of the car checked out for previous accidents and he says that he will install the stock steering wheel with airbag. Also it will come with the stock airbox which means it should be defect free.

It has heaps of nismo parts but they seem to be just bolt-ons.

When I get a definitive result from someone who has FASTED the VIN and Engine No I will print this out and show him as proof.(He is just misinformed I assume). This should help give me some bargaining power during negotiations.

p.s at least we know its a genuine V-SPEC and that its colour is a genuine midnight purple.

ok we have all settled down a bit now ! this guy hasnt GTR PWR hasnt even seen this car and was asking for the price to suit his needs well below a R32 gtr car price ,he said he had crashed his current car and was looking to find another car but just couldnt come up with the rest , he asked for this car at 8 grand short of the price offered , please understand while i now was avoided this guy as his is a time waster , id rather spend it with my wife than talking to some idoit that cannot afford a v -spec R33 gtr and had a budget of a R32 gtr its a v- spec r 33 ovoiusly most people can assure a R33 and being a v- spec in the not so common colour purple is a rare colour as you dont see much around and is the colour to find for a serious buyer , this car came from Japan with all the equipment fitted and options ,as the advert states it has a different engine than the one fitted when sold new so thats why NISSAN FAST cannot pick up that it had a engine change , i do run a work shop in melb west called OH performance and have worked on over hundreds of gtr s and seen many good examples of these cars in my life

Jim you are a blatantly lying and you didnt want to meet up becuase you knew I had exposed your attempt to rip off honest people.

Everything you say is worthless, and your businesses reputation now lays in ruins.

Needless to say all of the above is false and irritates me so much because all I wanted was to buy quickly and hassle free. After all this, you still refuse to apologise for how you treated me, and continue to make false accusations.

Honestly Jim, you have a lot to learn about business and how to treat people. You falsely advertised this vehicle and I have actually contacted the ACCC and reported you. I have kept all of your abusive and misleading messages sent from you as well. These will be passed on and supplied as evidence of your shady tactics to the ACCC.

Also this story and post has been reported to A Current Affair, hopefully the whole of Australia will see your shady business tactics.

Thanks mate, yeah I am just so grateful for this online community.

It has saved me on numerous occasions, and easily saved me thousands of dollars.

and too think all this could have been avoided if some proof of the claims had have been produced ie paper work reciets of the so called engine ect ect . i would reckon a fair bit of his clientelle would be thru internet forums ...........not now tho poor show i reckon

had this bloke just advertised it as a normal 1995 V-spec gtr.... and maybe even thrown a std. airbag steering wheel back in it...

not to mention not trying to spin bullshit, he would have probably sold it by now and retained what ever reputation he once had!

i just LOL every time i read this thread... obviously jim hasn't got a clue about business and customer relations...

hopefully not many noobs will get ripped off by this shonky business... and there would be quiet a few noobs that would fall for the "its a nismo engine broo ulehh"

    • Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
