My car was imported late 2007, early 2008. Would there be anyway I could find auction details for this car?

It's probably a shot in the dark, but I thought I would ask, as I was curious what grade / km the car came in with etc.

Is there any hope?

Chances are pretty much zero. Check on here to find out who complied your car, then ask the workshop.

agreed, chances zero or so close as to be within rounding error of zero...

1. car may not even have been bought at auction.

2. most likely the buyer looked the car up on-line or at the auction house's terminal and never printed a hard copy of the sheet.

3. if the car was bought at auction a copy of the sheet will be given to the agent/buyer or left in the vehicle, most likely at this point they just chucked it out.

4. remember, the auction report is just a basic spec sheet and inspection guide of the car. it doesn't matter what condition the car was in 3 years ago. it matters what condition it's in now.

5. the sheet wont tell you anything you can't better see with your own eyes. all buyers use the sheet just as a guide to see if a car is worth going to see in the metal or not. after that they base buying decisions on what they can see in the metal.

like chef suggested you could try the compliance workshop but they may never have seen or had the sheet either. also ask the bloke you bought it off. but no official body will have it. and zero chance of trying to get it out of an auction house.

maybe try googling your chassis number and see if anything pops up?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
