theres always a chance on a low k car that it has been tampered with..but the condition of the car will give u a better indication then whatever is on the clock...that does seem like really low k's but maybe thats exactly what it is :thumbsup:

if in doubt and you have access to the car get a mechanic to do an inspection on it and get a professional opinion

hopefully it all comes back sweet tho, good luck

bit over 3000k's a year on average does seem a tad low, doesnt it? :/

is this a car your looking at buying or just one you saw?

Works out to be under 70km a week lol.

I would believe it if it was a R33 N1 GTR or something along those lines. Not a GTS.

Hmm interesting man, my brother bought his r34 sedan with 27xxxkm on the clock, in that time the only that has faild are the coilpacks. He's racked up about 40,000kms in 5 years. Just make sure there are no accidents/chassis damage, rust etc. And the engine has good compression, also check things like the condition of the belts, especially the timing belt

could be the real deal ya never know but like others have said have it looked at. if ther persion selling it gets defencive then you know its a no go but if the car looks great then you just have to flip a coin.

:cheers:

the km's could be legit even if the condition of the car is pretty ordinary (not everyone treats their car great. i've seen near new cars with low kms but in terrible condition and vice versa). generally though it is a good indicator. the kms on an import are very rarely legit though.

the missus pulsar is a 2000 model and only has 70,000kms on it. would've been less but we went back to 1 car for a while. at one point when we had 2 cars though, her car would've been lucky to do 50kms a month as we always took my car. sometimes her car would go a week or 2 without even being started.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
