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.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
