First Time Gtr Buyer Looking At Edward Lees


Recommended Posts

Edwards Lees have a Supra coming in that I have the auction sheets for. The weird thing is, they have listed the car as 0kms on their site, in carsales and on gumtree. I wonder why.. ?

Ill reveal the Information I have when they reveal the Kms on the car.

Perhaps they're waiting for ^^ your post to see if the coast is clear?

How would "you" feel if you were an emigrant

> shipped out from Japan

> your medical records were lost

> washed and dried instead of being examined

> arthritic rust covered up with cream

> given a face lift instead of a liver detox

> sold off as a virgin slave who's never done a marathon

Wasn't referring to you Chris :)

Lol, don't buy an RX7 from Edward Lees either....

http://www.edwardlees.com.au/stock/1999-mazda-rx7-type-rb-3041.htm

"Mint Mint Mint and totally original and stock standard RX-7 . Rare, unmolested, unmodified – Travelled just 56,000 kms this car is like new inside and out."

Rare, unmolested, unmodified.......apart from the aftermarket exhaust, gear knob, turbo timer, strut tower brace, pedals, stereo system.....what a dick head. Judging by the wear on the steering wheel and seats I would say that this car has well over 100,000km on it.

if you are not in a hurry. i can help you import one. dreamcarcity.com.au

Congrats on your newly updated website! Seems this new one allows you full control over the VIN/chassis number field. Fortunately I have some screenshots of the old one - not GTR's but some interesting V series on there:

Name change to nightmare car city perhaps?

I am so over the constant clipping of kms. It has a negative impact on everyone involved, from dealers to buyers. If I was buying again I think I would only go with a car that has had one trusted australian owner with history and NOT bought from dodgy dealer or import again myself.

This Supra is for sale somewhere. Do your research, find out where and then know not to buy your GTR's from there. Or any other car for that matter.

:)

That is shocking. Plus it looks like its got some serious accident damage history with the entire panels from one side and the boot replaced. That shouldnt have been complianced!

It needs to be compulsory for imports to be sold with their de-registration papers. If they cant supply dereg certificate, go somewhere else!

    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
