We've agreed to price and subsequest to inspection I'm keen to buy. Does this car have any history with Skylines Australia?

Doesnt sound familiar, but looks like a nice example

Looks like a bargain.

Looks like a bargain.

Well it does have some minor damage and is driven on hard roads so I'd say the suspension is likely stuffed. But for the price I'm thinking fair.

Any hints on items to look for that "state roads p/l" might miss. How can I confirm it is genuine and not stolen etc apart from REVS?

Probably the best bet is to ask for the VIN (if you haven't already got it for the REVS check) and post it in the thread so someone with Nissan FAST can check if it's the real deal.

Also, get a mechanic from an import tuner's to go over it. They'll usually be a bit more thorough than an NRMA check because they'll better know what little things go wrong with these particular cars.

Sound advice.

I choose "state roads" over NRMA as NRMA only offered a local ford dealership as an inspector and they didn't know a thing about skylines. I considermyself a bit nieve but this chick had no idea, total sales person. But at least she spoke english unlike the mechanic. Paying an extra $200 for the fellow to travel there and back so unlikely I'd get anyone from a import tuner to attend not being their job.

I wonder how come and it has so many k's? Usually GTR's only have 30k k's this one must have done 100k k's here . Looks clean in the pics and priced to sell . I wonder what he means by private import, does he mean personal import ? Maybe he just says that because it came to Australia second hand ?

Probably because it's genuine km. Used as a regular car. Original dash (shame, nismo would have been nice). Only ever seen one GTR with less than 30K and that was due to a dash replacement.

I bet when it came to Australia only had 30-40k k's ......somehow they all loose k's from the time they leave Japan until they are registered ..... i have seen it plenty of times, example a car is sold at auction in Japan with 120k k's by the time it gets here it only has 40k k's ..

6T91MPAAATYDBJ003 is not a VIN number. It's a model code.

A VIN number for an R33 GTR will be BCNR33 xxxxxx

I wonder how come most people don't know where the vin is. You will always find it on the firewall and you want the Nissan number not the one they stick on here at compliance .

Here is an example :
