I bought a R33 GTR and got scammed | Japan Partner
17.7k… that’s daylight robbery… if the cost is higher than the original agreement, they should be contacting you to make sure you were ok with them doing the work that would increase the cost.
Lollll
I’m gonna be honest sue them in small claims court you will get money back for the damages especially since you have video proof of how it looked before that
looks like they swapped the headlights
Glad to see that you're still posting and doing well, please do update us and let us know.
Hey! Took a long to to find this again. I completely forgot about it. It's been a while. Happy to see you're still posting and doing well. 👊😎
Did u end up sueing
I know what shop that is, they only really cater to people that has deep pockets. I went there once and never went back. If you are in houston hit me up, I know the shops that will get it done.
Been waiting on an update Bro, Glad to see you back! Will definitely follow the journey!
That sucks. Your a paying customer they shouldn't have left your car outside like that. Its hard finding a good shop that can work on your car professionally. you brought the car in to get fixed and the things that were working all of a sudden don't work. I would have had them clean the seats and clean my headlights. Make a big fuss. Now did you purchase all your parts and have them install it or they did it for you? Seems like they specialize in 240's and Z's. The skyline is a totally different beast. Did you search any skyline forums to see what are any good shops in Texas?
Holy crap I have been looking for you for probably 6 months
Watched all your videos now, man just keep the head up and stay positive. When its finished you are gona love it. All the big work is alredy done // Sweden here
So my BCNR33 had a Zenon issue recently which caused a small fire in the trunk. Make sure to check that wiring well and do not let some one rig it up. It happen to me otw home from work.
Holy crap man 17k!?!? Could have bought another one at that price. Im betting most of your issues have something to do with the BCM or that portion of the harness. I'd be willing to help you out with going over the car with you if you'd like. I'm out by 99 and 290 area.
Ive figured a few things out so far on it. Connected up my haltech ic7 and can register speed so likely a bad connection in the speedo. Leaving a car out in the texas sun to bake for years will ruin some old solder points. Ill dig into the cluster and see what i can find on it. Also believe that my brake pedal switch might have gone out. Im getting power to the taillights and turning on the headlights lights them up. But braking does nothing. So more than likely the switch. The window motors are a mystery why they would just stop working could just be old asf and need replacing. There is far far more than i talked about in the video. But ill get into it later. Like removing my oil relocation kit because i put it in the wrong spot. And put a different brand in the same exact spot. no difference than where it was already at and chardging me for the parts and labor. I should just do the long one in multi parts cause its insane the shit i went through at this shop.
@@DBuilds well window motors are super easy to test at least. Just supply 12 volts to it and see if it moves. It's a shame that shop did you dirty like that though. People wonder why it's so hard to find a performance shop to work on their stuff too. It's things like this that makes me work on all my own stuff. Sadly it's not just performance shops, but regular shops too. Did they at least offer to clean up your seats? I'm sure they can be saved at least.
I just can’t believe you were treated that way there dude. The whole experience you’re having with this car is terrible. Everything they did for me was fairly quick and done correctly. Needless to say, I will be finding someone else that can tune using NISTUNE or just go Haltech and use a reputable tuner. I wish we didn’t live so far apart because I’d love to lend a hand to help you finally get to where it should have been all along!
Yeah its the reason i went back there. Everyone said they were good and maybe my first diagnostic was just a fluke but twice in a row there and its been bs twice. Oh well least I know now.
Yeah, we all need to know who the shop is. That is 1000% unacceptable. If you can take that shop to court. Or call your bank and dispute the charges. Tats straight trash man. Tired of these shops trying to rob people.
You can see the shop name when he’s holding the receipt up and is about to put it away.🤫 I’ve personally used the same shop and didn’t have any issues, but wow! Unacceptable!
I see it now SZR PRO is the shop… charging 17k and screwing up 10k in parts along the way.
If you want the long version of what happened over the past 2 years reply or like this comment. Otherwise ill just press on.
ILl start work on the long version ill split it into smaller easier to digest videos.
Bro the video DESERVES to be made! I know you said you wouldn't mention any names or the shop name, but sometimes ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and people deserve to be EXPOSED! Seems to me you could file some type of lawsuit and get your money back and maybe some compensation! Not only does it seem you DIDN'T get what you paid for, they damaged your car and gave you LESS than what you gave them! I would be livid! Sorry for all the trouble you have had bro, stay strong man!
That’s horrible! If you can, share the name so we know where not to go. Congrats on the other, more important, momentous life accomplishments.
If you look real close at his receipt, you can see it🤫
There he is! First off congratulation on expanding the family! I pray for a Happy Marriage and Beautiful healthy baby🙏✝️❤️ regarding the car, that’s rough, having two channels yours and Kevin Malli with less than ideal situations creates a sense of mourning for the community. I look forward to seeing the next video. And if you start getting to a point of cutting the losses, you got a guy right here 👀 keep the faith D!
appreciate it brother
Is sad how these shops treat common folks. Way too long to have someones car. 2 years of letting it sit. I would definitely blast the shop on social media. 17k thats a big NO!
Damn. Hope you get the car sorted out soon!
bottom line is the jdm import industry is booming right now and theres not much left in good condition in japan and ones that are in good condition that are already in USA people asking $100k for them lmao. shit is crazy honestly but it is what it is. japan partner always seemed kinda shady to me / too good to be true when i was looking at cars on there years ago so i never bought anything from them and glad i found this video cause now i have some money saved to buy one but i def wont buy one from them. hope all works out wit this whip!
is the build finish
what is amazing is how they are able to find you such a car where nothing works, everything is broken. its beyond me
Hey there all the way from australia sydney. Mate if the bore is at 87mm its pretty much toast. You will need another block Virgin engines start at 86mm. Your second chance in life you take it to 86.5mm. After that its rubbish. Sounds like this car has had multipule rebuilds and its sure as hell not done the kms it states. You can get that properly caculated via the ecu.
Dear Sir, why do you not mention that we send you free of charge an engine that is worth over 10,000 usd. You promised to remove the video after we send you the engine. You are not keeping your word showing your customers you cannot be trusted. I do not think you will find an exporter in Japan who will send you an engine free of charge. The car that you received has doubled in market value. It is at least not appropriate and not fare to post comments like you do.
Whatever happend to you and the R33? Did you just trash it? Wondering.
Did you buy an auction car or a stock car?
could be worse bro, at least the body looked straight for the most part. I would much rather deal with rebuilding a motor vs finding out its been wrecked and repaired like shit. I have seen Skylines with rotted rockers and quarter panels filled with bondo or replaced very very crappy.
That plastic is a stash for a piece!!!! You never know!!😎👍
It looks like a tsunami car from the accident years ago!!!🌊, blessings brother,if I'm you I take my time learn about the car,get together with groups that know and fix it, it might take 1 ,2 years but at the end you'll become an expert, start to learn what kind of tools are needed for this car, turn your garage into a laboratory with tables,power tools, lights, compressor,and read,read,take your time,and you will become victorious,please do not put stuff in top of paint,make a table first, discipline first,take carpet,seats, wheels,put it in towers,make space around it☀️🕊️🌫️🙏
Wow crazy! I wonder who you spoke with in Japan Partner. I'm looking into a car now.
Dude your house is beautiful congratulations to y’all much love Stay blessed man can’t wait till the GTR is on the road
There’s so much rust in that body I can’t believe you’re still putting money into it
man you are really calm guy . and i see the patience in your eyes are getting to its limits . if i was you i wouldve got a heart attack for sure . i feel your pain man . Hope the guys get the same what they did to you. Peace.
a $30 carfax from Japan.. (yes they have them).. could have saved $40k... 🙄
Oh wow. I just totally DM'd these guys about a car they have on their site.. "it's sold".. cool. two weeks later still on their webpage... "in stock". lame and lazy.. they probably bait and switch. be careful.
Pretty old 39?? don't fret. 50 is the new 40!. ;)
What do you guys expect. Don't get me wrong Japanese are the worst scammers. But what do you expect. Go over there and look at what your buying fools.
Are you uploading any new videos of the gtr?
Whats up with the car?
....
That’s how they trick you by advertising cars they don’t have by claiming the cars just sold when you inquire..Then they will tell you that they can source a car for you and that’s where all the scamming starts. It’s best to have someone you can trust in Japan to look over everything. Otherwise, you will get taken advantage of. This R33 seems like it originally came from Fukushima after getting hit by the tsunami and sat in a flood for some time.. A lot of exotic cars that were supposed to have been junked, were cleaned up and resold.
good to see this, a lesson to learn i too always wanted a r33gtr and am going to import one but to anyone who wants to make sure you do your research extensively about an overseas company and know a little more about cars than the average person as enthusiast you should before buying. Also very important if your going to purchase one overseas i suggest book at least 1 or 2 weeks to stay there to check the car out once twice or even three times if you can before you get all paperwork done.
Hey man just checking in to see how you’re doing. It’s Been a while. God bless 🙏✝️
u should go over there and confront him
kenwood amp has 1 wire in the stereo plug in the dash with speaker wire plug connect the new stereo 1 wire to that . i wound worry about all the other stuff apart from the engine .. you just need new replace ment interior parts ..
Hi mate...i feel for you i have a r34 Skyline & i had to spend money on her...not as much as you tho
Bro you have a R33. Stop crying
The GTR probably went underwater during the Tsunami.
Hey bro, do you have any reccomendations for other exporters? At this point I think it's worth me flying to japan myself and following the process up in person so there's no chance of something like this happening
