Hi guys,

Anyone who has bought cars from them before could you please share some experience? How has your car been running so far? Are you happy with their service especially after sale service? Any feedback is welcome

Thanks

1st post asking about a shop and if any one has been ripped off by them.

Reason being?

If your looking for feedback on good experiences with Importers there is a thread.

Most don't post openly bad experiences re shops due to libel / defamation laws.

You may get some Private Messages (PM's) tho.

Edit: a quick search on "sports auto group" will come up with results :thumbsup:

^^ as stated Qisong.

If you wish to broaden your spectrum of research, besides the thread "If You're Happy With Your Import, Who Brought It In?", consider this...

that Sports Auto Group has been affiliated with AllImports (now renamed) and Motor Point

I impulse bought my 32 from them when my brother went in to look at a rex.

Paid overs for it but no complaints about the car, didn't have any hidden issues they would have known about and their service at the time of sale was great.

Bit disappointed that they sold me a 3 year warranty with the car claiming that it would be covered only to find out it doesn't cover a vehicle with aftermarket modifications when am arm snapped and shattered the clutch and flywheel. Not sure if they just didn't know it wouldn't be covered or wanted to make some extra coin.

Also don't expect much help from them once you have paid for and taken the vehicle.

That said I have had worse experiences with private sales

Looks spammy, especially listing the address as thread title... this is not the first time I've seen a random newbie post like this...

I got my car from them. If I could go back in time I would re consider giving them my money. The car is in really good shape, suprisignly genuine kms. But there customer service isnt great, I had a few problems that didnt cost me too much but were just shitty to have happen to me two days after buying the car. Just do your reasearch on the car you are looking at. Get it checked out by a mechanic and do all the nesecary paperwork checks.

I said I was one of their customers I am happy with the car but extremely unhappy with their service. This is the experience I had with them I am just trying to see if they treat all the customers the same or is it just me.

Thing is I want to see the car before I purchase it. I have had issues before with importing cars through a broker. I have no doubt that Iron Chef is good, its just there are some things that are out of his control.

I purchased an elgrand through a broker and in the process of it arriving one of the remotes got stolen from the port. It only had one key. Issues like that is why i wouldnt do it again. Would prefer to find one here and know its got all that.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
