top quality cars top quality price

i haven't heard anything else so if your gut it ok then go for it

don't bother with the 3 yr extended warranty 95% of what could go wrong with the car isn't covered it should take about $900 off the cost

about 7 years ago there werent very good stories but from what i have heard over the past few years has been really good reps as long as the car checks out with a mechanic then go for it but i agree with steve dont get the warranty there is no point and it will save you a few $$$$

People say that they have heard bad stories from Redline. But my R32 was sold by them back in 2002, and Vince from Import Compliance Systems has been over it and said its one of the the best GTSt's he has seen to date... Would I buy a car from Redline? Yes.

Ok, first of all the topic title "Dealer" is just stupid - you need to make the title state exactly what the topic is about, and what you want to ask.

Secondly this has been covered 1,000,000 times before .... ALWAYS use the search function.

Thirdly, the guys selling at Redline have always struck me as arrogant fools, and the cars are stupidly overpriced IMHO.

That is all.

What are peoples impression for Redline Motorsports?

I'm looking at buying a car from them tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

What car you after exactly? Id trowl through car sales and call a few that you like (interstate also), always ask the relevant questions ie service history, auction papers, export certificates etc

If you have a good feeling then organise an inspection through a mechanic, RAA or state roads depending on where the car is located. All goes well, seriously think about purchasing.

Paid top price for my 33 through them.

Had to go back twice for majour warranty repairs, both times the repairer tried to sell me on extras and both times the repairs were not carried out to satisfaction.

That being said they gave me a lot more for my trade-in than I was expecting, and the guys provided great pre-sales service and reasonable after-sales, car was presented very well and I suspect it had a cheapo respray after landing here which is now starting to flake in some spots, although I can't say for sure that was thanks to Redline.

    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
