    Ye that's my old car

    Sorry for the delay but do you still own this car or did it end up at Carizma Imports?

    The car is stunning and perfect! It's in the top 3 JDM's I've seen and I've seen heaps!

    The scratch on the steering wheel is identical to yours in the photo.

    Thanks,

    Bob.

    Ye my old car. Definitely not the best example going around, had a few things that were bothering me about it, hence why it ended up being sold through there. Lets just say auction sheets and even some of the inspectors of vehicles in Japan are very far from a reliable..

    After something complete and in good condition.
    Prefer manual turbo but will be happy with anything really as long as it's clean.
    Will pay good money for the right car!! Cash ready to go
    If you have something that may be of interest send me a message.
    Prefer it to be in Melbourne.

    Hey guys,

    I am looking at a 180SX Type X 6U9000RPS1332468. The car has been here for a long time and while it does look really clean I am concerned about the authenticity of the kms. Apparently it was imported with 30,000 kms on the clock and now has only done 40,000 kms. Owner claims that it's a 4.5A but has no way of verifying it :rolleyes:.

    It has been registered so it's not a fresh import, just thinking as to how to go about authenticating the kms if the companies that offer the service don't go back far enough on some of the cars that have been here for a while.

    Any thoughts besides going based on condition alone?

    Thanks

    My friend had a car shipped over in a container (R34 GTR M-SPEC NUR) and I can safely say I prefer roll on/roll off. Car came with quite a few scuffs due to the straps they used to secure it and the edge of the drivers door had a nice curve from them opening the door onto the container wall due to limited space.

    Container is definately the safest option if you know care will be taken but almost usually its not. You have to remember how wide a car is and how wide a container is.
