Translating A Uss Auction Sheet

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to translate this USS auction sheet (if possible, I know this might be a long long shot). I did basic Japanese back in school - but that's a distant and ancient memory now.

I have done some reading around on the internet and know how to identify the basic stuff on the auction sheet. I know there is a issue with odometer readings (*), which is basically my main concern. I know the stock odo shell was replace with a Nismo one at some point, but when (not sure if that can be gathered from this auction sheet)?

I know there are some HKS mods in there as well (but not sure what they are exactly).

Thoughts and opinions welcome.

Fair question.

As per what I have been advised, the original cluster was replace by the Nismo one at 58,000 kms in 2009. But the Nismo cluster now reads 59,000 Kms, which is why apparently the * is listed there. But again, this is all what has been advised. Not sure if this means the car is 58,000 kms + 59,000 kms = 120,000 kms (can anyone drive 59,000 kms in two years) or whether it was changed to a similar valued Nismo cluster in 2009 (I have been advised that this is what has occurred). My mechanic has given the thumbs up, but obviously I want to know roughly how many Kms the car has done whether its 59,000, 75,000 or 120,000.

Hope that makes sense.

Hey man

Well to give a short answer - there's not really any way to tell the true km of the vehicle... At least not from the auction sheet!

But here's a few clues to help you... Auction sheets list the km reading, If the km are non genuine - they used to place a ? Next to the odo reading... This is now a * because to the Japanese auction houses - and asterisk is less offensive than a question mark...

Same as why they now have a solid star instead of "grade R" for when a vehicle has been crash repaired...

So basically - nobody knows without contacting the previous owner...

BUT youll see the writing in the blurb "H19.6" which is relevant to the Nissan service year count....

So basically from what I can read (and unless anybody can prove me wrong) then your nismo dash isn't too far off the mark... Give or take maybe a few thousand km...

But honestly if you're asking because you're wondering how much you need to service it or to what extent? Given the amount of stuff written on the auction sheet id say that your service history docs should still be in your dashboard or at least stamped somewhere on a placard?

But my advise is if you're paranoid about whether or not to change waterpump..... Just do it all :) better be safe and knock it all out in the one round of labour than be sorry!!

Thank you for your advice.

As per what I have been advised, unfortunately there was no service logs that came with the car. The auction sheet was the only document provided.

The reason for the sense of paranoia is exactly because of wanting to know when to go about changing various parts.

Got a bigger image?

I can see you have a 320km Nismo meter, oil cooler, 3 HKS gauges, HKS air filter, some aftermarket muffler, roll bar etc.

You also have some worn seats & handles, slight rust under the body and a few dints patched up. Do I also see that it comes with a new car warranty card and manual?

The two rows on the top right of the line above H19.6 says that the meter is listed as altered as there are no records indicating when the Nismo meter was installed. So my guess is that they adjusted the Nismo meter to "around" 59k as you mentioned above. That said, the June 2007 inspection papers seem to say that there were 54649km on it, and 58558km in June 2009. Can't read the stuff on the right of those figures though. Something about installation or records.

Some other points:

Minor dint on the driver's side mirror?

Something done to the glovebox? Something installed inside?

Other parts still a bit hard to read. You also have a HKS intercooler and Xenon headlights though. :cool:

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
