Ok no problem. Uploading from iPhone probably doesn't resize it properly. I think everyone's aware now the frustration I've been through. so I'll leave it up to the committee to decide and what to do now. (:

I'll just leave this here pretty ironic really, when I see this kind of adverts winds me up. Well I can tell you I'm definitely not a happy customer! -- EDIT -- Pic removed - I have a 29" screen and that filled the full thing bud. Its like shouting with pictures. :) Bit overkill.

I was also told that the cambelt was changed going by the sticker on the side when in fact it wasn't done! Had to ask power Z to make it right.

No mate absolutely not. If you got a problem take it up with the auction house but you'll be wasting your time, is basically what he said.

Yes mate the wheels I have will look amazing on there. No course not there's no way he would do that he's washed his hands of it! You know what they say what goes around comes around...

First off like to bid say a big thank you to Josh at gorilla imports for sorting me out with this awesome looking spec S twin turbo. He's even going the extra mile to drop the vehicle off at Jimmy's at power Z to give it the once over before the keys are handed over to me to ensure everything is good! Turbos reconditioned cambelt changed in 2017 all this will be checked at power Z for peace of mind. this is what a club import should be doing to ensure customer satisfaction and not just trying to cash in for a quick Buck like Gazwoz did to me! The Z Should be landed in August. I'm really excited now my only regret is I didn't ask Josh first time around. with everything that I've just been through would have saved me thousands of pounds and much headaches and stress.

Hi Josh good to hear from you. It's been a while since I last saw you, when i drove all the way up to collect that black vvti jzz30. Yes please, absolutely let's sort something out. A certain spec S springs to mind that's currently on its way?

That is absolutely shocking!! This is why it's good for people to come forward that have had BAD experiences like this to make other people aware!.

Originally silver as you can see when you open the doors...

I'll be starting another thread soon once I've saved up enough money, on transforming the car into something special in the near future.

I didn't know uneven paint meant that it was painted with a Brillo pad? When I read that information I was like not too bad because I have wheels I have seats steering wheel and other interior bits to rectify those faults. With the dentist they were supposed to be hardly even noticeable, but they are very noticeable in the door as I've seen it in person now. All the trim pieces all the rubber seals are ruined the paint is an absolute shambles and will cost me thousands of pounds to get that sorted out now as it will need to be taken completely down and resprayed! If I knew how bad the paint actually was and I could see in the pictures instead of low resolution pictures from a great distance, i would never have said to go ahead with the sale! In future if someone's going to import a car for somebody at least have the professionalism to have someone inspect the vehicle at the auction beforehand so there's no more confusion going on especially when it's supposed to be a grade 3.5 but turns out it's more like a grade 2! I suppose I was naive in thinking that all Japanese cars are highly maintained in taking care of, obviously this one isn't in that category. In future if I wish to import another car I'll take my business elsewhere ie Josh at gorilla imports. This is the experience I've had definitely a learning curve. Also I want to make people aware of what I've been through so they can avoid the same mistake I made.

Pretty much if you want to make a claim go for it but you'll be wasting your time.

The weather strips across the doors also the strips that run across either side of the roof and down alongside the window front... Looked easy enough on the video, but I've heard from Jimmy they are an absolute pain in the ass to do.

I was watching that Australian guy on YouTube intake. Where he takes off the strips get some 800 grit sandpaper give them a going over finishes off with satin black for an OEM finish looks really good. That's what I was thinking about doing it myself I've also bought spare clips from czp just in case I break any. Then it's a case of getting someone to price up a spray job but there's no point doing that until I get a 99 bumper sorted out and the little black strip at the back with the brake light. I've already got the 99 side lights with wires and complete 99 rear lights with centrepiece.

As SI stated and Jimmy and the guy at gorilla imports they said it looks more like a grade 2.0 then 3.5. I was expecting just to replace the steering wheel and seats as I already had those bits. Plus I already have Gear gaiter with red stitching handbrake boot Italian leather with red stitching with my personal steering wheel Recaro seats and harnesses carbon fibre handbrake handle gear shifter. And everything underneath the car with wheels. But the paint is wrecked it really needs to be taken down completely just ask Jimmy or Si. The same with all the trim pieces.

I'll send them to Jimmy. I need to try again later on with my PC but I'm going on duty soon.

Honestly thought I was in good hands club Importer, sold a dream that turned out to be a nightmare for me!

Hello mate Yes apparently Gary was saying that the seller wasn't happy with the bid and it didn't meet the reserve so I had to make 3 offers before the accepted 4k. Plus I paid an additional 2000+ for Shipping and duties and £600 admin fee included in that 2K Pls to Gary. Had to get it trailer the way from the cowboy garage to power Zed got Jimmy to do the major service which is over 1k so quite a a lot of money payed as you can see already and I haven't even sorted out the paint and trim pieces pretty sick...

Basically I just want to make people aware of what I've been through. I don't think I will will be going through a small claims court at the moment I've got a lot of stuff going on at the moment with my personal life, a few close friends in the club are aware of. I just don't want to see anybody else in the club or that is new to the club making the same mistake as I did!

Email correspondence.

These are just a few pictures, I need to take some more of the front bumper they've even sprayed all the pipes and parts of the suspension, paint runs everywhere. Trim pieces been painted over with black nail varnish or some tacky rubbish. Also he's a picture of the old filter which is only sold in Japan, was told by the garage that Gary took it to it had the engine oil and filter changed obviously not! I'll dig out an email as well stating about the vehicle condition. I really feel like I've had my trousers taken down in bent over! Shameful display...

I wish I spoke to a few people beforehand..... would have saved thousands and thousands of pounds! Hopefully Jimmer will pop on later and fill you in how bad it looks he couldn't believe how much I paid for it he also couldn't believe it was a 3.5 grade ect. That garage that Gary takes them too was messing me about a lot went on for weeks, everytime they rang me up I wondered what was next. They ended up pulling off the plenum without even telling me, allegedly doing oil and filter change when they didn't as jimmer took off the all filter it was filthy and it's a filter that you only can get from Japan pit work I got pictures of it. They also told me to leave the bits that I had to buy in the boot of the car and a couple of days later I rang them up for an update they forgot that the parts were in the Boot, also was getting good talking to why not delete the water pipes on the plenum because the engine could possibly ice up...WTF.

Hi guys I thought I would share my experience I have had recently with asking someone from the club to import a z32 for me.... I would have come on sooner but to tell you the truth I've not been really happy lately. building my hopes up with something that was promised to be great but turned out to be a complete utter hunk of shit to look at putting it bluntly. Also the experience I had with the garage that he uses for the jobs is unbelievable. I had to get them to stop all the work on it, and not to touch anything else and get someone straight over to collect the vehicle and trailer it away to someone that actually knows what they're doing. There's a few guys on the club that have seen the car and was shocked and know the situation please speak up so we can stop this from happening in the future to anyone else! Really regret not buying slick Pete's na Z when I had the chance!. I'm a bit busy at the moment there's a lot happening with my duty. but I've got loads of pictures and documented everything I will update this thread very soon!

And my last piece also bought from concept Z performance all duties paid ready to be posted straight out. Brand new plastic cellophane wrapping all piping hard pipes clamps and filter everything in the picture is what you get. Didn't plan on selling these bits but as stated previously just had a shocking experience with my freshly imported z32.

Here is a listing for a lightweight flywheel massive saving in weight over the OEM z32 flywheel bought from concept Z performance. £270 posted Brand new comes with original box.
