[Questions]

The 2004 Nissan skyline 350GT I was looking at buying and as I went to view it they said they imported it in 2013 and the owner is too old to drive now so he sold it back to the import company where he got it from. Also unfortunately there aren’t any service records. But they said it has always been serviced while they have owned it not sure about the old bloke tho. 

so I’m kinda stuck not sure if it’s worth the risk I could get a mobile mechanic to do a full check and if it turns out to be healthy if it’s worth $14,250

I owned a 350GT 2003 model for about 8 years (changed Jan 2022). In that time I remember the following maintenance/issues/repairs, and where I sourced the parts:

• Ignition coils. The first I got directly from the mechanic no probs. Nissan. The others I went on eBay and got NDK
• Brake Rotors and Pads. No issue. I changed the pad material because the rims were heavily coated in dust. The new ones had virtually no dust, but the squealed like a banshee when cold.
• Electric Window winders, both sides. Randomly played up (lightly smacked the side of the door to get them  temporarily working), stopped working all art once. I took them out, pulled them to pieces, cleaned them inside (especially around the carbon brushes & springs and the spindle spike), applied an electrical conductive grease (from JayCar), put them together, and remounted them. They worked perfectly after that. I think i got at least 5 more years till I disposed of the car. 
• Tires. Obviously not an issue...
• Rims. No issue, but I damaged my previous ones (aftermarket, from Japan when I bought the car)
• Oil & filters
• Air filters
• And really minor things such as window wiper blades.

Thats all I remember. Nothing major, until someone drove "through" the car in a multistory parking garage; and drove off. Apart from a "Good Samaritan" leaving a note on my windscreen with the offenders numberplate, an attendant following them in re-parking on a different level (with lic. Plate), my car was parked right next to the automated pay machine, so it had numerous cameras on it. He / She was fined by the police for their attempted get-away. The reason I tell this story, I had insurance do the repairs. They made 5-10 crappy attempts, and on one of the last failed attempts, I pointed out that at the correct angle, the bumper had waves/light reflection distortions on the surface (long straight florescent tube had a circular reflection). After some arguing, they agreed to correct it. Later, the assessor told me he found "the single last new bumper" in Australia. Which I thought was weird for a car never sold in Aus. ie there were  *possibly* new body panels in Aus,. And why would he continue looking if he found one? insurance pays, not the repairer They eventually gave up and paid me out. After screwing me around for almost a year.

Generally speaking, I never had issues with parts/repairs. Its a Nissan, and they try and re-use parts between what they sell, inc locally.

thank you so much this is so helpful

If you google 'Japan car history check', there is at least one main site, it isn't free though.  It will catch some of the slimy tricks like shady operators in japan buying damaged cars at auction, doing a quick repair job, winding back the speedo, then re-auctioning them, of course the dodgy importers here only show you the final auction sheet, not the first one.

 

I don't have an auto, but I don't believe they are a known problem.  But like any auto, if you neglect it, it will give you problems.

Not going to thrashing it but a couple pulls here and there just want to make sure there wearnt anything wrong with the auto trans for the certain model
