Re: Skyline GTST

Yea...i have!
i traded my 06 civic for it in mid December, The owner had told me it would be mid January when the engine would be in with the other stuff we ordered. It is now approaching mid March, 3 months since the deal went down and all i have is 1 ****ing image of it with no motor in it? all i get is excuses such as "He is in a meeting", "His Email crashed"...blah blah blah!

im tired of this entire deal completely. His time is up and ill be turning this case over to my lawyer REAL soon!
I called first thing this morning and ecen threatened his secratary that ill be going LEGAL if his **** doesn smarten up....Guess what? he still has not emailed nor called me yet!

Arggh!

Re: Skyline GTST

Hey, I'm not swaying one way or the other but WTF. I don't follow the story. This is how I understand it from scanning over this post.

1. The car is in Japan.
2. It got shipped to the North American Continent to "some dude" who owned it for some period of time.
3. FGcoupe trades his civic to "some dude" for the car with no effin' motor.
3. FGcoupe waits on "some dude" to bring the car to life.
4. FGcoupe gets no response from said person "some dude".
5. FGcoupe then agrees with everyone else on this thread.

Please let me know what the holes are in my story and fill them. BTW saying 'I'm going to get my lawyer' holds no ground to anyone if you have no written agreement or a verbal contract witnessed by you and said person "some dude".

Yeah, the vbplaza license expired. Ex didn't renew it. It had a small but loyal following, and it just wasn't viable anymore. Unfortunate, but it happens.

traded the civic, the Skyline had the RB20DET originally, in the deal it gets the RB25DET and other parts aswell
3. FGcoupe waits on "some dude" to bring the car to life.
Since mid December 07' when the deal was made
4. FGcoupe gets no response from said person "some dude".
No replies, no phone calls back....just excuses!
5. FGcoupe then agrees with everyone else on this thread.
WTF are you talking about?

and yes....Contract does exist!, and the Civic sold sometime ago by the owner that took possesion of it after the deal (contract) was made

Re: Skyline GTST

I'll tell you what he's talking about. First you're slamming all of us for calling B.S. on your deal, then you start to agree it's a sour deal. Kind of going back on yourself.

No offense, but your shoddy English has more than a little to do with your lack of credibility.

Re: Skyline GTST

ok...for those illiterates!

I found a 1989 Skyline GTS-T with the following done to it:

- GTR body package
- Shaved door handles
- Coilover suspension
- Bayside blue paint
- RB20DET engine
- Apexi power intake
- Blitz BOV
- Catback exhaust

I took the Skyline for a testdrive, and found it to be a real nice driving car with a nice power range but still wanted more so....

in a deal where i trade my 2006 Civic DX-G mildly modded for this Skyline,
the owner of the shop agreed to throw in $10,000 for parts for the Skyline,
The pricetag for the Skyline was $11500.00 CDN.

With this 10k in parts allowance i opted for:

- RB25DET w/ECU swap
- RS-1Type Race seats w/rails
- HICAS lockout bar
- Seibon vented, Carbon hood (TT-style)
- Used tires with 65% tread (tires on the car were roasted)
- New headliner
- Stereo to be installed (stock headunit)
- Rear parklights to be installed

*Included in the price was labour aswell.
Another note, just recently because ive had to wait so long, in a phone conversation a few weeks back the owner agreed to throw in my choice of wheels and the open mouth grille ,painted.

All ive had to pay for would be the following: (because i order it)
- VLSD oil change
- Steering boss (hub)

As for the RB25DET, the BOV and Power intake from the RB20DET would be transfered over in the swap.

As for the container from Japan:
In this shipment are included the Race seats, the engine and headliner (sunroof type).

The Skyline itself was located and traded by myself in Canada.


Hope this clears it up?

Re: Skyline GTST

oh yea....might aswell add why it was this went sour!

in an Email the owner did send to me back in mid Febuary, he stated the one ship had broke down and they transfered the containers to another ship, it was to leave N. China a few days later and this Skyline project was to be done mid march but....

heres the thing....
the ship doesnt come near the docks until the end of march, the owner of the shop knows where his **** is....its called a tracking number! all he has to do is punch it up on his lap top or PC to find out but all he tells me is BS or nothing at all. The way i see it now, i cannot see this project being complete til anywhere sooner then mod April. The shop would need approx 2 weeks to do the swap and tune it ,etc....

theres soooo much more **** ive heard from this clown but it goes into such detail i really dont care to discuss it with a forum right now.

Re: Skyline GTST

ok, finally got something to look at, although it does not make me happy this is a 4 month contract (and may still be a bit longer if **** goes sideways?)

The ship will not hit our docks until March 12, Then it will take a week (depending on CFIA & Customs) to get it out of the port. Then another 2-3 days to unload the container. Once its in the shops hands he wants it for the 2 weeks to do the swap and tune it properly working out any bugs that may show up.

I know this is still quite a way away but we finally have a time line that we can work with! This is what i have for now?
