Hey guys, i am heading to melbourne this weekend with a good mate to look at car. He is looking to buy an R33, but is keen to look at R32's, Silvia's and 180s.

don't think he is buying this weekend, but he wants to know where to look for a good car, he doesn't really car about mods so much, mainly low KM's, immaculate condition etc.

i am going over with him mainly to check the cars out as he knows nothing about imports.

he is interested in looking at Carizma and Kamakaze and knows they are expensive, but most of their cars are immaculate and come with a good warranty... another guy we know bought from there and can't say a bad thing about them.

Can anyone else suggest some good caryards or somewhere where we can look, possibly test drive?

Just be careful at Kamakaze as when I went there looking for an R34, most of the cars had copped a respray as the paint was perfect on all cars. Not one single car had a minute blemish.

They often spray cars wild colours too, so ask for photos of the cars before they received them if possible.

Yeh i know they are over priced, and i also heard carizmo is dodgy, but we going for a look and you can't exactly gallavant across melbourne with only public transport to get around on and look at every car in the trading post.

what about SVi?

Warrigul Rd in Moorabin has a huge car yard (multiple dealers) with heaps of imports.

Stageas, Skylines, Silvias etc.

i went down there a few months ago and there weren't many imports. Mondo used to stock imports but now lots of fords and holdens when the 15 year rule came in.

there is also JSA in coburg. ring them before hand and tell them what you want. they dont have many cars on the lot but have a large warehouse.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
