Hi guys just got my R33 dream car, high grade, factory standard and runs like it has just left the dealership, low kms...or has it? To my disguist I had full inspection done by State Roads in Sydney (where the car is from)and all was well. Car arrives on truck to my house in Adel and when I take it for a cruise all of a sudden I notice trip computer and odometer are not ticking over :D evidence of roll back or is this a common problem when transporting etc?

I'd appreciate all opinions and thoughts guys cos I spent some major cash $21k in fact and if I've been taken for a ride, Consumer Affairs will be notified!

Is it a fresh import?

Not too sure, dealer didn't say it was fresh stock and it got complianced as soon as I bought it.

Oh ok , Does the condition of the car match the kms? Like worn handbrake lever steering wheel etc ( i guess thats the only way to go by), Its very hard to say it could of been turned back here or in Japan, I asshume it has a std speedo.

I think most people accept that if you buy an import the kms would have likely been wound back. When I was getting my car inspected I asked the mechanic whether he thought the kms were genuine. He replied by saying that "anyone who believes imports have genuine kms still believes in Santa Claus." Not that this helps you much i guess...

i got genuine log books since new :) cheering

Yea these are some fair points, well interior and engine show signs of a car around the 50,000km mark defintely. I think no matter how much of a pro detailer you are you couldn't get my car in the condition it is if in fact it had 150,000kms.

Only wear is on gear knob, everything else is spotless and I purposely bought the car in stock condition that way chances of being a drift car were reduced.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
