Hi All,

This dealership sold me an unroadworthy S15 spec R, which turn out to be a complete rust bucket. If you're dead set on buying a vehicle from be sure to get an independant inspect prior to buying as i dont want anyone else to be dupped by these guys.

"Used passenger cars over 10 years old or with over 160,000km and commercial vehicles do not have a statutory or a manufacturer's warranty, they just have to be roadworthy" you could argue that with an independant assessment as long as you haven't left it too long

In hind sight I should of got the car inspected before purchasing it and now I am paying the price, RAA in SA has condemned the vehicle as chasis has severe rust issues. I have made a formal complaint to the NSW Far Trade, hopefully they can help.

I feel for you Bob, but as you have said you should've had the car checked..

or

A search on here or even google would've saved you the heartache..

I wish you luck with your new battle

Noy

That place needs a good old picket demonstration to make the business go belly up.

And that's just the start...

Was just about to mention that we all should stage one of those protests outside their dealership....

This sort of shit boils my blood.

To think that these crooks can not only rob a person of their hard earned (or borrwed) cash and think they can get away with it, but also endanger the life of someone who is paying them to do so.

Because thats what it comes down to at the end of the day.

Selling an unroadworthy car to an unsuspecting buyer, is like handing them a time bomb with no timer. You dont know when it will go all pear shaped.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
