That still doesn't excuse the fact that you + a mechanic (if you aren't one yourself) + a person familiar with panelbeating/repairs shouldn't go in as a team with finetooth combs.

Powerplay

You beat me to it mate.

+ ME

Powerplay have been bringing in these cars for years. Joanne knows her stuff. Don't just look at there website,,,ring her. She's a cool chicky.

Tell her Neil with the Radical told you to ring.

They have tons of contacts and while a stocker may be hard to find,,she might just have one of her ex-sale car customers interested in selling.

theres a good r34 importer???? There all the same, its a big lucky dip, sometimes good and sometimes bad, if they do get a bad car comming in, they arn't going to send it back. On the whole the guys mentioned bring in decent conditioned cars but keep an open mind.

Ive heard good and bad stories from all the companies mentioned above (some are from prsonal experience and others are from friends and other forum threads dedicated to good/bad experiences with these guys). Don't worry too much about the dealer, look more for how the car drives, how it sounds, how it feels.

At the end of the day they are used car dealers and will peddle anything that they are stuck with, so really you should go out and see these guys ,but cut out the crap that comes from their mouths and make your own decision. Warrantees are not worth the paper they are written on, and have plenty of extra cash lying around incase something stuffs up on your 10 or 11 year old r34, like a clutch is the main culprit, no one knows how long the clutch will last if they dont know the history, and they arnt cheap to replace.

If i were you i'd find cars forsale on SAU forum, then you have a history of what people have done to their cars, already published online, you can see if they maintain it, how they drive it, if its had any problems or any upcomming problems..... you can also talk to forum members who may know of the car and give feedback about it.

goodluck

End of the day keep an open mind, ignore what the dealers say, always haggle the price down, if you get a decent saving from excluding a warrantee then do that because they will fight tooth and nail to avoid a warantee job, besides they dont cover, tyres, belts, transmission, clutch ect..... and these are things that usually go wrong on the car. RB engines themselves are pretty reliable, everything else you can test the car to feel if it will have a problem later down the track (well atleast reduce the risk of buying a lemon).

very true.. each car really speaks for itself. the level of service is also important but i guess end of the day, they're there to make a sale still.

hey i'm not just a pretty face..... bought my car from a very small importer..... i din't care, aslong as the car was good. I could have bought it from satan himself, but if the car is in good condition, then theres nothing to worry about....

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
