I bought my 33 from them about 4 years ago. Was happy with them to deal with and would happily go back again if there was a next time.

Only issues that ever come up with the car were related to the modifications I have added.

Luke

at least get a manual, geez it takes like what.. a few hours to pick up manual? and a few more days to perfect it?

You'll be a much happier mann.........

The amount of times i've heard ppl say........

"is that car non turbo?" thennn 'is that car auto' *drives off*

Actually got two cars off them so far. r33 which i got in december 2008, took me half an hour to cut them $200 off the advertised price. got my current car from them half a year ago. paid exact price as they advertised, but got immoboliser put in for free. From my exp. you will be lucky to take a few hundred dollars off the price they ask for. As Kezr33 stated, they are a businnes after all.

Paid cash for both cars by the way, which didnt really make any difference on the price.

Also bought my 33 s2 off them... If buying from a dealer would recommend.. Let me test drive a few different cars.. Couldn't get them down much on price, but jeff i think his name was threw in as much as he could, got r34 rims, japanese snow chains, new front suspension, even sprayed my calipers for me when changing the rims lol... also had to wait 1-2 weeks to have it registered so the boss lent me his stagea untill the 33 was registered... all up was very happy with the service etc.

In hindsight though would have been better off buying private off someone who's already done the standard bolt ons.. don't think the condition would be much different.. Dealer Stock r33 @ $12-13 vs Private Lightly modified (zorst, pod, cooler, suspension, wheels) r33 for about 12-13... do the math.. and then can get straight to the fun stuff like bigger turbos injectors etc. Just my 2 cents anyway ..

Yeah thanks guys. Some guys say that they've managed to get $1k+ off the price and others struggle to even just get a few hundred off the advertised price.... seems really hard on how I would cope trying to bargain them with the Carsales R34 Link I posted in the topic ... damnn it! That car has been on sale for a couple months now so I would assume it is a bit overpriced at $15k really.... there are turbos for say $13k so!

They're simply just taking advantage of the demand for N/A lines.

Yeahh thats a valid point - but I don't get why GT-T's are even cheaper than what this N/A is priced at seriously... although it is a dealer but yeah. You reckon I have a chance for bidding 13-13.5k?

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
