When they were re-listed, did the seller state the issue with the wheels that they were now aware of?

I had an R33 GTS-T turbocharger for sale a couple of weeks back...the guy who came to buy it pointed out that the comp housing wasn't correctly numbered and suspected it wasn't an R33 turbo. After research I discovered it was actually an R32 turbo...turns out I'd been ripped off myself when I bought it a couple of years ago. I didn't re-list it as an R33 turbo again though, hoping someone else won't notice the difference...it went back up with the new information I had and I copped it on the chin that it would net me less in a sale. That's the way it should be IMO.

yep exactly

If your unaware its a bit different, and you rectified the mistake in the next sale ad

but I would say that they had known about the damages when they first listed

Of course not.

- Thread was bumped etc. No mention of anything

- I then posted about the damage, giving seller a chance to come clean

- Instead seller has someone ring ex-buyer and abuse them (looks like we know who that was)

- Ex-buyer contacted me immediately

- Photo's of damaged rims then posted public

There was plenty of chance to come good, but sadly - not the case

Ahh it seems like all the usual suspects up to there forum bullying antics - havent you guys moved on in life -you were doing the same shit 5 years ago - get a life - people getting villified on here and banned, but seems people are quick to jump on the bandwagon.

Do you sell a house with a full structural report from a Structural engineer? No you dont.

Hey....My car just turned 5yrs old of ownership :(

I wonder if you could get more value for house if you did provide structural report? Alex whats your opinion? I recall my friend getting it done after deposit being placed but it cost him money.

I'd definitely be more swayed into a house if it had a structural report - lots more dodgy houses / apartment blocks going up these days than there were a couple decades ago.

Buyers have the option of buying subject to building/pest inspection if it's auction has to be done prior to.

I *think* Sydney the owner has to supply such reports, I think it's better the buyer does it and pays for it often otherwise buyers are sceptical and say "of course the owners report says it's fine" even though it is completed independently.

Not a big issue out here 80% of the transactions are properties under 7 years old and still covered by statutory warranties.

I recommend buyers to do them regardless, it's Upto them though.

These rims were bought by some muppet in Perth who decided that just because he didnt like them he would clean them up and find faults with them. Theyre almost 20 years old - what do you expect? a brand new set of Volk GTCs in the box? they were used on a vehicle for years with no problems - if they needed excessive balancing or didnt hold air that would be a different story - the guy in perth was accordingly refunded and he OFFERED to post them back - however when the wheels were re listed, it seems he still decided that he would be petty about it and report the matter on the skylines forums. The person selling them was accordingly banned because apparent "threats" were made when the guy was asked why he decided to report it after he was given a refund. The seller was/is being villified on the skyline forums as a dodgy seller and a scammer - yet refunded the money when they had every right to ignore the request - its not like buying from a shop - so I take it Ash that your a wheel engineer and an expert because you have seen some pictures of some old Japanese wheels?

The funny thing is these wheels wernt EXCLUSIVLY for sale to Interstate buyers - LOCAL buyers were welcomed to come and view them PRIOR to purchasing, so if theyre so bad - why would you buy it? Jess 14 isnt a wheel expert - was it expected an xray, full engineering report and the like be provided to sell some wheels? Do you sell a house with a full structural report from a Structural engineer? No you dont. This is a tiny matter who the bigwigs of the forum who have little in life going for them have to make into something big. - if people who didnt sit behind a keyboard for 90 percent of their life who have villified the Seller came and viewed them, there wouldnt be a problem. Sadly its no point arguing with retards who get a kick out of forum life.

So anyone who trusts you or your girlfriend to be honest about the condition of items they are selling is a muppet? I explicitly asked if there were any cracks, buckles or signs of repair on these wheels - I even had Jess remove the tyres so she could properly inspect them. She also sent me a copy of her drivers license, and I browsed through her posts on SAU - all of which led me to come to the incorrect conclusion I should be able to trust her.

Oh and just so you can't continue to claim ignorance, cracks are bad. You don't need to be an Engineer to know that this is not safe, especially when one has just told you as much - I even wrote down exactly what was wrong with each wheel on the boxes so you would know which required repair. But still you continue to advertise these wheels on various forums in an attempt to dupe people into paying good money for wheels which are worthless unless a lot is spent on repairing them.

Difficult to spot? Hardly.

    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • 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.
