Up for sale is a grade 4 b 1998 r33 gtst 40th. I tried to import this from japan to canada temporarily but canada will not let me have her, now she is sitting in a warehouse in canada customs labled for export. I have never seen the car in person but the exporter had video and inspection done for me and I have all the proper docs needed, not sure how Australia works but perhaps a broker could help. I am selling cheap as I have a few weeks to export the car from canada or else they take it and I lose all, selling for 3000 cad. I have alot of detailed pics and video available upon request.

Yeah, sneaky1 I'll double you on that,

- no info on profile

- no details on car

- one post/topic (this one)

- international

Plus these type of scams are all over carsales.com.au

Yeah good luck with the fake sale mate!:spam:

I am no scammer!!!!!!! If anyone knows any exporters such as braveauto or sastrad kk, ask them, I have nothing to hide! I have the vids and auction sheet, bol, manifest, etc. to share with a serious buyer. Canada has a 15 year rule, this car is 13, but in canada Im on a work permit, and I have imported a newer than 15 year old car before. Customs canada said no this time for no reason. Tried to fight with them but no go. I have references as well over at jdmvip.com. A very good and unbiased forum for all around the world.

I AM WILLING TO TRADE FOR A 1994-95 GTST OR GTR

Who guys id say its legit, but wouldnt you of checked the 15 yr rule before importing it?

Believe me I checked and have imported a newer than 15 year old vehicle into canada. My status as a temporary in canada allows me to import any car, provided it is exported when I leave, or is 15 or older by the time my permit in canada expires. This time around they gave me a hard time and I believe its because skylines have a bad name in north america. Even brokers told me I should be fine and to just go talk to them but I dont have time as the vehicle must be exported this month and I dont have time to appeal the decision. Thats why I just popped up on here desperately trying to sell it and Im sorry to come off as a scammer but I am not, and if anyone has a broker or agent and is interested, I can talk to them and provide them with any and all documentation and then they can prove this car is where I say it is and is what I say it is. I wanted to join this site anyways because Australia has a vast amount of knowledge on skylines and you guys speak english as well so it makes it easier! I also know that there are alot of parts for skylines in Australia.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
