Pre-purchase inspection in Vic

[CR34TION]

Guys,

Apart from Ice Performance or Race Pace, where is the best place to get a pre-purchase inspection on a GTR? I know a few places have been mentioned here, but are there any good mechanics or panel beaters you would recommend....

Anyone from here think they can do the job?

Cheers.

You can't buy a GTR.

You only just sold me a GT-T

[pushead]

thats why he sold you the GT-T so that he can get a GTR

[Bass Junky]

R-33 or R-34

We want details.

Why don't you take it to where I took mine?

Or the guys accross from my work could also have a look at it.

He's after R33 GTR I think

[pushead]

yer just saw it with him yesterday. its a R33 unfortunately

Bass Junky> i finally decided to get a r33 gtr... is the guy across from your work any good with GTR's?????

Pushead> R33 it may be, but it will still woop your ass:P

CR34tion.

The guys accross the road do a lot of work on GTR's, they have actually just rebuilt a RB26DETT from an R-32.

the other people who I would suggest is Hyper-Tech Autosports in Vermont. They just serviced my car and they prepare a lot of Targa cars, and race cars, and have a very professional workshop. They are at www.hyper-tech.com.au

Tell them I sent you.

Its pretty hard to get a proper inspection on a GTR though.. a friend had the same problem. Basically they either cbf, or don't want the hassle if they make a mistake in looking at it. They'll really only give you a basic "looks ok", even many of the performance shops even if they deal with GTR all day. I told him that, course he didn't believe me... he took it to a few shops and whatya know they said exactly the same "all we'd really recommend for sure is to give it a full workout and see what snaps". If it don't break "its good"

Bass Junky> Would i have to make an appointment with the dudes across from you and how much would they charge?

Hyper-Tech are very dodgy... i have heard many stories about them which i don't know if i should share..... I brought my previous car there for pre-purchase inspection.

I will never go there again.

[Bass Junky]

Just give them a call.

They could give it a look over.

Only go to Hypertech if you have lots of money you no longer need. they are a joke. I made the mistake of going there when I first got my car because I thought they were the best due to the Gibson relationship. What they are really good at is making things up so you fork out $$$ so they can afford their Targa cars.

I will also never go there again.

[CR34TION]

Bass Junky> let me know asap cos i want it done this week preferably.

Snowman> yes, one particular person there has a very creative and shifty mind.

[ylwgtr2]

id take a look at it.....but i dont know everything

[predator]

hypertech has got a rep for being wwaay wayy too expensive.. they're for business people with millions of bucks who hand over a few to compete in the Targa

[CR34TION]

The car has been previously inspected by Race Pace when another purchaser was planning to buy it. They said it was a great car... apart from the usual little things, hence they don't wanna inspect again and they don't do inspections now cos of certain events.

Should i just take their word for it cos i can't seem to find anybody else...

ylwgtr2> if you wanna come for a cruise to bayswater, then i wouldn't mind your advice:P

[ylwgtr2]

shit!and i spose you want me to do your washing too huh

[CR34TION]

ylwgtr2> nah.. .just polish my car will do:D

i might just take their word even but i feel uneasy about not having a proper report.

[CR34TION]

Bass Junky> what is their number or can you just walk over and ask for me...???hahah

[ABuSD]

I definatly recommend UPI, although they have never pre-inspected a vehicle for me, they do all my work on my car for me, which is there at the moment
