Drop Your Pants - Some Import Dealers Got Raided This Week...

[Iron Chef]

^^^I think I know the car, and I know the original kms too

I know a few people here with Z11s that need a touch up.

I was privy to one that had '38k' on it with timing chain issues and tensioner issues. the car would not run and I was dragged in thinking it was electrical. mate of mine looked at it deemed mechancal and tossed another known km engine in. that dealer is south.

there are others doing heavy hits as well and regsitering them as clean.. those guys are north.

Just to put it out there the bz11s had a major recall on the timing chains. A lot never went in for the recall and I have done 2 in the last week. A surprise but when you pull it down you realize how cheaply built they are.

Out of interest, I went and had a look at a BB R34 Vspec GTR at a dealer in Sydney last week. I found it on carsales.

The salesman assured me that it has 28,000 genuine KM on it. However the seats, carpet and body looked like they had done alot more.

Quite upsetting - especially for the trusting person that ends up buying it, not knowing it's probably done atleast 10x what is on the odometer.

This dealer seems to sell a lot of GTR's (including Nurs, Mspecs - etc). Majority with very low KM and painted chassis rails.

Long due for a review I reckon.

I quite often go to Sydney for family reasons but also throw in sometime to buy parts/pick up stuff etc.

I went to a car yard down there to pick something up and while I was waiting, just looking at the cars and kms things just weren't adding up.

Price did not reflect kms. Especially on the cubes!

Had a white R34 GTR there that was said to be the owners with blah blah blah, minimal K's factory paint etc.. didn't look like it.

End of the day, the parts I was there to pick up, they didn't want to sell after the deal was done :S.

Terrible business etiquette.

Lets just say the yard is on a busy road and may or may not be green.

I remember the time I caught an import dealer out, it was basically a car from yahoo auctions with this digusting widebody front guards on it and black bonnet. It was an autech S15 and had over 130,000kms on it in Japan, I then saw it at a dealership in Sydney with 40-50,000kms on it. I have spent a lot of time backtracing import dealers and where they get their cars, and lets just say a lot of the jazz that comes into the country is graded R in Japan. I find it heartbreaking that absolute shit can come into the country, which is why im hesitant to buy a local import due to how much I know about the shit that floats in. As for that S15, Eddie Macguire says Brett Lee's bowling is good.

As for that bayside blue r34 gtr LOL, dont even go near it.......its been tampered with quite extensively.
