Sinergy Motorsports?

[semislickR32]

I bought my R32 GTR from Sinergy and found them to be pretty good. Rob in particular was best car "salesman" I've met, and spent heaps of time talking about the cars rather than trying to sell me one. One of the other sales guys there was a bit more of a classic salesman though.

After-sales service was good too - car had a couple of issues that came out on the track and they sorted them. I would recommend (but haven't had any other import services to compare against).

And as for re-spraying every car I can definitely say that is rubbish. Mine had a minor touched-up scratch on the fender which was pointed out pre-sale.

Good luck with whatever you do - just realise you won't remember an extra few $$ for long once the boost kicks in, but you will remember whether you got good aftermarket support if anything goes wrong.

I'm not making up some wild bullshit here. Me and my mate went down there about 2 years ago, test drove a Supra, we went into his office to sort out paperwork, my mate said "Your cars here all look like they've just been painted?" and his words were "Yes, we respray them when they come in from Japan just to get rid of any minor scratches or dings that would normally occur on the shipping process". Shit, most imports you see come in do infact have minor scratches.

It's not a "I heard my cousins mates uncles sisters brother said this" story.

What is wrong with respraying a car in a caryard, anyway? Would you like a full transcript of the conversation I had with the guy?

I can't see how this would affect his business. He paints the cars that come in... that's a plus for the end buyer. I'm not saying he imports cars that have been sitting in a salt mine for 8 years and paints them up.

Every car dealer has it's good/bad stories.

"they resprayed all their cars when they came in" implies to most readers of this thread that all of Sinergy's cars are dodgy and require a full respray... kinda like saying they have been sitting in a salt mine.

that is considerably different from respraying "minor scratches or dings that would normally occur on the shipping process"

good to see that you clarified your point. cheers

Did you happen to buy that R32 GT-R with the twin bride racing seats in it?

Weezy, the dude off ns.com I think took your job at Synergy

Andrew, just explaining what I got told at Sinergy. But they're sales people at the end of the day, so they'll say anything to make a sale. just like any car yard.

Speaking of car yards, Redline Motorsport had a intense single turbo 450kw+ Supra for sale a while back. That was one hell of a beast.

You see, car salespeople are like a different breed. They almost aren't even human

I ceased employment there Aug 08' I think haha. WPN-X7 or whatever his user is, is full qual and hasn't been there that long, I was just a useless 1st year apprentice that just got in everyones way

He does repair some lightly damaged cars from time to time to sell them as well.

I only import myself from Japan now.

We detailed that a few years ago. Wasn't 450rwkW by any stretch.

We told him a similar set up made 450rwkW in a mates car so he would have used those figures.

And those guys are f*cking retards.

In my dealings with Redline previously i havent been impressed by them....lets just not get into slandering businesses now

[CRoNic...]

Lol Ben - it was the old guy there... I only saw the high mount single turbo and that's what he claimed haha!

[JMW]

Knowing both Rocco and Rob personally (family friends), and buying my previous 33 from them i can vouch for them. Not for any other reason than the quality of cars, yes they may be pricey but you get what you pay for. As BTM said, they do touch up small area but never completely respray, they are always happy to help with either sourcing parts or a whole car. Luciano can vouch for the quality of their cars as he bought my old R33 4 door.

But if you are happy to wait and have a specific grade/modifications in mind i would speak to Iron Chef, excellent guy and very friendly and easy to deal with. and he will find you what your exactly after.

[RBJETT]

i bought my stagea from synergy. it was a little more expensive than others on the market. but it was also a RSV. for the price i paid i was happy with as i knew the quality would be better. the car hasnt missed a beat and Rob was great to deal with. gave me my asking price on my trade in and even came from the medinde yard when i was at the one on main north road.

definately a plus 1 for sinergy. definatly go there for my next import

[tankslapper]

I bought my 32 from sinergy.. there service is great.. admittedly the car was a bit pricey and got defected for a list longer than my arm and the car was not even close to road legal when i bought it from them, but they helped me get it off defect and took it over regency for a fair decent price. i must say tho i have still been happy with them and they have great service there. and the guys there are all pretty chill and will help you out with what ever you need.

[BTM]

Yeah they wouldn't even know the first thing about it haha.

When I drove it it wouldn't have even had 300rwkW.

As for bagging the Redline business, I'm not intending to do that. Just back the tool that owns it that thinks he knows everything

[Nightcrawler]

Since I can't think of anything nice to say about Synergy, I won't say anything at all. If anyone wants details I am more than happy to share via PM.

[TALBO]

Had one dealing with both Sinergy and Redline and can't say either really left a good or bad impression, I'd be a much more careful about who I employed for the counter (in Synergy's case) and I'm sure this isn't a true indication of their customer service. Allan at Redline seems like a decent guy, the other bloke isn't really the same.

[andrew_r32GTR]

Sinergy are good. Both my cars have come from there, I have looked over the cars in there lot and most have been touched up but to be truthful these cars are getting old now. Over all nice cars i have to say.

^^^ Same

This is business and personal

There is a very big difference between repainting minor scratches and transit damage, and completely respraying to 'cover-up' a poor quality car. Show me a single import yard in the whole country that doesn't do transit damage/minor scratch repaint work prior to the car going on sale in the yard. All dealers do it!

Everyone has their own opinion and tale to tell in regard to the various import dealers across the State, some will leave with nothing but a tail of woe to tell, others will drive out with a car that suits their needs, a smile on their face and nothing but a positive experience. I've had dealings with Synergy and they have been nothing but positive. Numerous people have looked over the car I bought through Synergy, including yourself Andrew (Nightcrawler) and every single one of them has been impressed with the quality of the car. Did it recieve touch-up work? You bet it did, the car travelled halfway across the globe with all manner of transport people treating it like just another piece of cargo, and that means transit damage occurs and needs to be rectified. As for price, what's on display is just the starting point
