Put an offer for 50000 for it, most I was willing to pay. That was about a week ago, haven't heard anything back. The hunt continues. Been looking at a few R35 GTRs too now, in no real rush right now. Willing to wait for a good car to come along

Yeah, auction grade was 3.5C as marek said. There was an asterisk next to the km's. I take it that means the auction house dosent agree with it/ Knows something is sus? Said it came with logbooks. And Josh did say the motor was in good pretty good shape regardless.

Yeah, so took it to Josh at Galvsport. Josh is pretty sure its done well over 60,000 ks, still no reg notice from the japanese history check dudes. But I think I can get a dereg notice from the dealership that should have the actual ks the car was registered with in 2012/2014, so hopefully can get an idea of how many k's its done. Apart from that, the car still needs to have stuff changed for compliance, 99% sure its been partially resprayed at one point, seems to have a had a love tap on the bonnet as the gap on the bonnet is slightly larger on the drivers side. Also needs new control arms, but that is being taken car of by the dudes at fabcar. Mechanically however, seems to be ok apart from a resonably worn clutch and possibly a choked up cat in the exhaust? (Josh's thoughts) Probably going to see how low I can get them, but not willing to pay more than 50,000 for it.

Yeah its got a nismo dash fitted, so it's pretty much assured that it's been wound back. I've got plans to modify the car fairly comprehensively, so I'm not too worried about it.

It was US$75 for both the auction sheet and registration certificate from japan. Will have odo readings on both

They arent sending it till its translated

Just in the process of getting it translated now. Went for test drive today, seems alright. Seems like a bit of noise coming from the brakes? Like the pads are scraping? Can hear it at low speed. Apart from that, I couldnt see anything that seemed wrong with it. Wait for the dudes at galvsport to have a look over it and get it on a dyno before I do anything, however.

Thanks for the reply's. Yeah, I very much doubt the odo reading, think I'm going to get it to get it checked out by Galvsport and get a history check off that website provided by 2far before I do anything else. The other one i was looking at was the blue one that has only 26000 kms (apparently), but they want 85,000 for it... Way too much Im thinking...

Hey guys and girls, new member to the forum. Been thinking for ages about what car to upgrade to from my trusty beater, and have finally settled on my childhood dreamcar, the R34 GTR. If only it was so easy to go to a Nissan dealer and pick one up without any worries... In line with this, I am wondering if you guys had any extra advice for me? I've read the tutorial in the DIY section about things to look for when buying a used skyline, so when I went today to have a look I had quite a few question to ask. Still some things I am wondering about though; - Anybody had any dealings with fabcar out at cannington? - They have a dyno and a workshop out the back, but I am still keen to get a second opinion at another mechanic, preferably one who specialises in Japanese performance cars. Any recommendations? - What are some questions you guys would ask that I, a skyline newb but fairly over general car mechanics, should also ask? - Is it possible to somehow find out how many k's the car has actually done? this one apparently has 60,000, not many for a car 16 years old. Also a photo of the engine bay, see if any of you can spot anything amiss? Thanks in advance.
