that friend would be me.. had no dramas with em n hav been very helpful for the most part.. SIr can you let me know what experiences youve had with em.. curious to see if i should keep goin there to get work done.. also ogz can you pm me where to buy the LEDs again :D

yer the ones on parra rd. They seemed to be well informed and pretty straight forward but after that incident regarding the supra im having doubts.

visiting their warehouse was the clincher for me,I was turned off for a couple of reasons I think we spent about 10mins there and left.

Not saying all their cars would be duds, but shop wisely and don't fall in love if you do see something that interests you there.

ohh i see whats goin on.. all imports and japlink are separate dealers.. all imports simply moved from their dodgy warehouse to either renting or possibly bought the space right next to japlink that used to be owned by japlink.. i remember when i looked at my car there at japlink i walked into all imports and the guy came up to me and was like can i help you, i said i already talked to your other guys (at japlink) and he said they were separate dealers... far as i know japlink does all their compliance work as well as some of edward lees..

i will add however that my dad bought his 4dr V from all imports and everyone is impressed with not only the car but the condition..

what was it that turned you off?

Someone else told me to just go look myself as they wouldn't offer an opinion.

So I went and looked at a car I was interested in, the car itself I was over it after one lap of it, and there was a lot more interesting stuff going on elsewhere in the place, a chat here or there and the confirmation in another threads thats where the Supra came from and reading on evolutionoz, I was out of the place didn't want to take the risk given their history. If you want specifics just pm me.

yer the skyline ive been eyeing at their dealership looks straight n clean but due to their history im having doubts.

I also asked for the auction sheet or any documentation from japan and their like the car was bought from a dealer in japan so theres nothing like that.

He seems confident about the condition of the car thoough saying if u want someone to inspect it i can get someone n it will be done at his warehouse, but to me its all dealer talk.

I like the car as its got the full leather seats n brembos but is it a risk worth taking is something i gotta ask myself.

be sure to check all the fine print on the extended warranty. Many warranties on the market only cover a set amount, ie only $1000 for the engine, $500 for electrics. And they require you to get the serviced by a shop every 3 months.And if you need to make a claim, they make you take it one of their authorised repairers and they charge you for a quote on the repair. Then if the agent confirms the item is faulty they send the paperwork to the warranty company. Then you gotta wait for them to approve it.

Why don't you import yourself from an auction?

then you will have auctions sheet, hopefully Log book and spare keys!!!

all you have to do is convert Fm

I bought a V35 off Allimports/Japlink last week, allowed me to have any tests I wanted done to the car, were more than helpful. The car is as you would expect for a 5 year old car from Japan, has some marks /small repairs but overall very good condition.

Cheers

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
