AAAA HA !---thanks for that------more dodgey shit , I'm starting to go of the idea of buying any import somewhat when I read articles like these there's a load of stuff on whirlpool as well on the 'clocking' hobby so beloved of import dealers .

I've had 3 imports over the last 7 or 8 years an R34GT-t from a dealers opposite Zupps on Ferry Rd ,GC, since changed hands was all good but an RX7 FC3C from MJR that was on Ferry Rd GC turned out a pile of steaming and the subsequent who-ha with the dealer was beyond an education , I got a 180SX-X from the a Ford dealer in Lismore that had a few issues that ended up in QCAT so two out of three have been a pita.

It's like playing Russian roulette with someone else's gun and only your $15k on the table.

Yep , they have a top rep and I've been talking to Troy , I'm procrastinating on which way I should go for the best, my budget is limited to $15K absolute max that's on road done and done including transfer fees stamp duty ,rego , bloody tyres and all the bullcrap inc.

I also don't want to be contending with a full service , ie gearbox/diff/s/engine/brakes/filters/plugs , etc etc on top straight away ether.

So I'm thinking I may be better buying already onshore with a bit longer K's but servicing under control.

It may be that a good 04 350GT just can't be done on a budget this small , I've also been looking at the Mits EVO VII GTA as I like the specs on this one a lot and it may be just a bit more do-able.

Here's another 'clocking' link just bye the bye http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2246786

Should be able to land a 06 350GT in for that price. (The new shape!)
