I was able to secure this for 400 aud. Pretty happy for myself. The previous owner was saying he using 17.5 g for 35-30 ml extraction using 18-19 setting on the esp. He wasn't able to dial in the bottomless portafilter and was saying that it would shot out to the sides. Any advice ?

Invest in a good wdt tool. The needles type
Have you tried grinding finer?
The previous owner might not have been doing decent puck prep – a bottomless portalfilter can expose poor technique in this area.
There’s loads of good videos on this but personally I’ve found grinding into a catch cup (rather than directly into the PF) and WDT give me pretty good results.
I’ve only had terrible looking shots when I’ve either used very old beans (which were a gift rather than my purchase) or when the grind size is much to coarse.
