was looking at buying a V35 and found this....

Both youtube clips are of the same car

NSW V35 with 46,000km

&

Some 1 in japan selling the car to NSW with 73,000km

Good to see that F^%$ heads are still clocking back mileage!!

would be surprised also if the trip computer worked properly as well. most of the clocked ones destroy that part of the cluster and the TC does not work.

as an aside - the cruise control I sell wont work either.

Sorry if I'm asking a silly question but apart from the two cars looking the same, is there any proof they are the exact same car?

I know heaps of imports are wound back and it's rife but just wondering.

It has the exact same "custom body mods" and i bet all the cars at "**********" have had there clocks wound back.

Yeah i remeber this posted before.

Although the armrest looks different (Japanese car seems to have some sort of stripes running across it), the aftermarket head unit looks the same. The video looks a bit grainy to be certain though.

********** notorious for this.

Even mine, found out it was adjusted around 20-30K - timing belt had been changed, but was not due to be changed until 50K

In saying that, if you're buying a Jap import, chances are its been wound back.

Sad, but true.

Not defending the stealership bUT If you look closer at the centre console and tops of the door cards the colour schemes are quite different. Not to say the dealer didn't change these but then why would he?

Does look to have had a knock on the left rear quarter, paint matching seems a bit off unless it's the poor quality video.

The only thing I can't confirm is that the custom door trim is not on that car in Australia..

I recognised the voice in the video, Go to this link and you get to see the man behind the camera in the Jap-video http://www.youtube.com/user/mightycarmods#p/u/7/63Y97oLjiuA

Fast-forward to 9:11, This should pretty much confirm our suspicions.

My conclusion is that he would try to find an international buyer over there first, and if he cant get enough money for it he sends it over here to be sold before winding it back. Good work on the find!

I've always had 2 suspicions when it comes to winding kms'....

1. Do the locals deactivate their clocks when it gets to a certain point, and then reactivate it whenever they try to sell it...

2. or Do they just as easily hook it up to PC and minus the kms..

This probably confirms the latter..

Best advice a friend ever gave me, no matter how much you like it, get it inspected by Stateroads.com.au best $200bucks you'll ever spend.

Cheers!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
