(My first post!)

Recently, police have raided several dodgy Japanese Import dealers found tampering with odometers. Amongst those dealers, and possibly the worst of them all was Edward Lees, the self-proclaimed "Australia's Number 1 Import dealer" that has a reputation for being extra dodgy. Well, the snotfaced owner, Phil Lee, has decided to change the name of the business to Sun Rise Cars (sunrisecars.com.au) to avoid unwanted attention. They're already posting advertisements on Carsales, and are currently selling the "Best Fairlady Zed in the country". Beware.

Congrats on your first post! but being a party pooper there are already 2 or 3 other posts on SAU about Edwardo Lee's Mcsuckbag...

I drove past their yard today. It's still branded Ed Lee's across the building. Shop has not changed

I was there last week and the same knob with the same attitude. He reckons they could source us a R34 GTR V Spec II for $66k with a 42,000kms hahah what a clown. The business name is still Edward Lees on the site but the business cards and the paper work all says "Sun Rise Cars Pty Ltd" and he only had 25 cars in the yard and mostly the VW Kombi's.

Very legit business and legit km's guys....LOL

Did not think it would take Phil long to get back at winding back, he is a survivor.

The dumb crap about this is, he will get away with it and go on his merry way laughing :)

Our company laws seem stuffed or very slow to act and these blokes can just about do what they want?

I walked in one morning, only because I was next door looking a bali huts. It took the bloke no longer than 5 mins to start spinning off random bullshit about this particular 32 I was standing at.

"We also import genuine low kms GTR's" I just remember shrugging my shoulders and walking off.

Quite often, extracted duct tape will have a good fingerprint impression on it.

I wonder if anyone thought of checking that.

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫
