My mate was after some cheap rims and he didnt want to buy brand newy's so i suggested to try an importer or parts shop. I told him kamikaza might have some spare stuff and he went over and picked up some schlick looking 18x10s Rays rims for his car.. Said the guy was real good to deal with.. Thats my 2c worth...

I bought my R33 from them and Im very happy with the car........but i'd never go back again. They have no clue whats going on, and they are also very dishonest.

After my first service, there was a rattle.. so i took the car back the next day, that afternoon i call them up.. "yes yes its all fixed".. I had heard from the people at the tinting shop next door my car had been in the driveway the entire day. Funnily when I got it back it still had the same rattle. 3 visits back it was all fixed!!!

Not to mention they helped themselves to my stock intercooler in the boot.... helped them selves as in stole.......

and they also "replaced" my brilliant windscreen wipers with some pieces of crap which dont actualy seem to wipe anything (kinda odd..).

My $850 new clutch I purchased from them also turned out to be worth about $300. I know places add on markup obviously but thats ridiculous.

anyways so to summarise :P stay clear of them. Its time all these dodgy places smarten up.

Also normaly I wouldnt be so mean publicaly :D but im just answering somebodies question (theres more as well, but the above should cover it for now) :)

i have been there a few times and the guys are very helpful, but i wouldnt trust the km on the cars personally, i have seen to many with 60,000 km which look like they have done 200,000km...

as long as you know what you are looking for you shouldnt have a problem....

ya im talking about the nunawading store.

Tint professor people were gr8 btw, they gave me great deal on tinting :D AND they kindly told me how my car hadnt been worked on all day (like kamakazee motors had told me) but instead sat in there driveway.

Oh btw, I got my car in december 2004.

A few weeks ago when I moved I told vicroads i changed my address, so i had to change my licence / car rego. Surprise surprise they hadnt bothered to tell vicroads it was now MY car.... 6 months on.

I think these days you could find a car waaaay cheaper if you bought it privately, seems most ppl get desperate to sell real quick.

The only advantage if you buy it through an importer is you get conned into buying the $$$$ warranty which doesnt actualy cover anything when your car brakes down :P

Tint professor might have good prices but there quality is not up to scratch.

Drove home with a few bubbles(spears). Managed to push a couple down but there was one obvious one that remained. Took it back and they had to do one whole window again. Drove home and the next day another spear appeared. I had to keep pushing it down every day until it totally dissappeared.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
