Got Dooped By A Gtr Owner In Endevour Hills Anyone Know Where He Lives?


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I recently threw $500 deposit on a guys 33 gtr vspec in midnight purple located in endeavour hills

registration ZKV649

Guys name is TAREK KANDAKJI

phone number is 0432 282 125

Sale was all good, was organising a trucking quote to get it shipped to me, then he called to say he took it to wash it and engine started making a knocking noise on the drive home, i.e. he was raping it and it spun a bearing, I was gutted and he said he would drop the price by $2000 or I could have my deposit back.

I consulted my mechanic knowing they are expensive to work on, he said flag it and get money back.

old mate said, no worries money will be back in your account by the end of week.

no news for a while, give him a call no answer, and now no answer at all.

disappearing act.

this was all before Christmas, did a vin check etc. car was all good.

have pics on my phone

anyway, police wont do anything, but I have mates in Melbourne who are more than happy to go say hi and reclaim my funds

If anyone could pass on his address, would be much appreciated.

cheers Xavier

As much as the guy sounds like a douche bag, and I'm sorry to hear about your experience, I doubt that even if anyone did know the guy they'd pass on his address!

Having said that, a quick look on whitepages shows there's not too many people with that surname in Melbourne (that are listed), and Google maps shows they're not far from Endeavour Hills. Maybe get your mate to drive past the addresses and see if there's an R33 GTR parked out the front.

FYI I enquired about this car a while back, rebuilt by Rajab with "bigger bore clearances" which according to Tarek caused a rattle at cold start because "forged pistons do that".
On top of that my mate knew the history of the car and knew Tarek bought it for cheap as it had been crashed.

Cheers guys, yeah if anyone could help it would be much appreciated, seemed like a good dude, helpfull as and then once he rooted the engine and I decided against it he went quiet and haven't heard anything since, an address is all I need, can sort the rest from there,

cheers again.

tarek the tosser..

Hey mate, Tarek isn't part of Skylines Australia but he is part of the Owners Club on respective facebook pages - I'm sure he'll sort things out with you. Sounds odd for him cos he's a pretty straight guy and real nice too.

    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
