Hi there..

Im hoping some one in here can help

I just got a car imported with full compliance + revs check without any hiccups.

the log books state it has around 65,000 last time it was checked.. there is a import sticker saying it had 65,000 when it came over..

However there are 2 stickers on my engine.. one says 55,000 written in pen.. the other is a 100,000km sticker..

now is this 100k sticker a "100,000km service sticker.. or one saying it needs to be done @100,000km's?

its in japanese.. so theres a pic below if someone can help out..

thanks in advance

The left one is a friendly reminder from Nissan to remind you to change your timing belt at 100,000kms.

The one on the right says that it was changed on 19/4/03 at 55,000kms.

which means they are claiming your car has done 2500 kms a year for the last 4 years... lol.

But if his car really is a 1995 as in his thingy on the left, then it had only done ~6,800kms/year before 2003, so 10,000kms in the last 4 is believable. Maybe.

i dunno, I can believe 6800kms a year, but 2500 less that 50 a week. i could be wrong. if it has log books of course you can check. if it doesn't just believe the worst, and at the same time be thankfull that you will have an easier time selling it when it comes time to re-sell! and i always say judge by the condition, not the kms :action-smiley-069:

the engine sticker has 55,000 on it.

THeres a sticker on the inside of the drivers door saying 65,000kms on it

The log book has the last number as 68,000 or so ( with some invoice i cant read as its in japanese)

And when it came over it just got to 70,000.

The condition of the car is pretty good, paint job is 99% blemish free, the engine is still dead quiet and clean and had a pretty good read out on the dyno last week.

Inside was pretty well immaculate. (apart from the handbrake boot.. but all i saw had cracked leather on the handbrake boot gaiter... whats up with that?)

I dont think that it has had a 100,000km life as it is pretty straight.. the only thing wrong with it was i needed to change the battery and the spark plugs ( after a check on the dyno)

Maybe it was sitting around for a while cause when i got it, it was preeeeety dusty.

And that would explain the dead battery?

I have a number of students with kei cars I want to buy off them. Most of their cars are over 10 years old with less than 10k kms!!! alot of ppl dont drive in Japan.

When you see the parking fees, the train passes that are paid for by work and the traffic. It all starts to make sense.

That said though Odometres are wound back, but remember Japan isnt Australia where you have massively long roads with no traffic or signals and you dont have to pay any tolls to sit on 100kph all day long and when you get to where you are going you dont have to pay through the nose for parking :wub:

My silvia has done less than 500km in the last 6 months :happy:, that would only be 15,000kms over 15 years with that average!!

I think it's wound back, Japanese has mountain roads as well remember~~ there is no way for such low milage over so long time for all of their cars...my timing belt starts cracking when the millage is only 30 000, I changed them straight..don't want to risk

Japanese aren't dodgy dudes like us Aussies. I'm sure there are some, but not enough to warrant the reputation they seem to have unfortunately got.

lol, you don't have to sell it to me! :wave: it was just a passing comment. I've seen plenty of genuine low km cars having been watching auctions and buying japanese cars (in japan) for nearly 7 years. just in my experience it would be unusual to see such a low km 33 GTST exported to aus. but like I said it's no big deal either way, plus you have log books which would usually indicate a 100% straight up odometer.

yes streeter is correct there are plenty of reasons that make owning a car impractical in japan. I can understand the low km kie cars as they are not so expensive to buy and register so people don't mind so much having one sitting around doing nothing except for the odd time they need it, but generally people I've seen with full size cars (especially 'performance' cars) tend to use them a lot or just not own one at all as they are so much more expensive.

sky34 nearly made me wee myself. you do realisy sky that streeter lives in japan and as such would have "some" idea of what he is talking about?!?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
