R32 V-spec Ii At Edward Lees

So I had seen this car advertised and was pretty keen to go have a look at the build plate and perhaps suggest they change the advertising... However, it even has the V-Spec II model code on the firewall... I am not suggesting it is Edward Lees doing the dodgy here, they may well ne innocent victims but if you were going to this much trouble to make a $18000 (est as a non v-spec II) car into a $22000 wouldnt you at least try to get a car that was built the right year, or claim it as a V-spec I?

Adding a set of R33 Brembos is not hard, even V-spec production did not start until 4/93 pretty sure... Why do people like this who should know better advertise a car that could have never existed? Some poor bloke is going to buy that car and be over the moon at getting 1 of 1303 V-spec IIs for a steal, then in years to come find out he has been shafted (probably should have investigated it earlier, but some people still trust car dealers :nyaanyaa:

isn't it also likely that they just got the build month wrong and the other info is right? unless I misunderstand and you have 'fasted' the vin they provided and found the model year? bear in mind though that fast is not always 100% correct. I have even seen people with different copies get different build dates for the same chassis number...

ps, all the VS1 and VS2 BBS wheels are 8.5inch. :nyaanyaa:

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
