I got in trouble for saying all the truth I said about SM last time.

I just blatantly retold the story of what happened to us and how dodgy our car was... and I got introuble saying "They read this you know" Like some kind of threat that they were going to come and kill me or something ...

I bought my car from Auto J Mart (or AJM) about 15 months ago and I have no complaints. I have done 30000km since then and haven't had a problem. The only money I have spent is on fun stuff, and thats the way it should be.

But I will say, like all sales people you still have to watch them. They are there to make as much money as possible and at every opportunity they tried to get me to sign on the dotted line before they completed the things I asked for. Thats normal though. Just do alot of research. I only wish I knew then what I know now, it would have made purchasing, and more importantly bargaining much easier.

Agreed, don't go there. Import it or buy second hand - which luckily enough, mine is for sale

Any reason why? A mate of mine bought one through there and it seemed ok. Feel free to PM since you cannot really post on the forums.

Thanks.

My mate bought a 180SX through AJM and had a few problems with it, I wont go slagging off a company here as other people are saying they've had good results though them, needless to say $1300 later his 180SX is now going great. PM me if anyone has questions about that. I think the best thing you can do is a sh1tload of research, take your time because knowledge is power, and the more power and knowledge you have the better you will come out in the end, even if it does take a little bit longer.

Try Special vehicle imports SVI.com.au in Virginia

I recently imported a mint r33gtr v-spec with 40k on it and the whole experience was effortless.

Had no problems with car so far and am very pleased with it.

They are good people . Just specify our requirements and they will do the rest.

all da best

hey all i bought my 95 r33 gts25t from a dealer called gold star autos with 108000kms for $13000 had a cpl of tiny problems like about 2 weeks after i picked up the car the speedo started to play up a bit and one of the switches for the headlights stopped working, however was fixed within a cpl of days no problems at all. the car had been in aus for a cpl of weeks and just finished getting complied the day i looked at the car. he would have to have atleast 20-30 skylines in stock at anyone time. his website is http://www.goldstarautos.com.au/ all the contact details are there. also when you go to view a car he will put it up on a hoist for you to have a look underneath it.

I'm closing this given that the majority of the info is very old and therefore of little use, and the fact that it's been dug up more than once.

Thanks for posting your experiences guys but please try to find a more recent thread :D

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
