Yeah, agreed. Notice how they never come with log books either. Pretty strange for such new cars from a country where everybody crosses their T's and dots their I's.

I got full Japanese service history etc with mine, i wouldnt expect it for 33's and earlier cos they are a little dated now but for V35 upwards or collector 34 GTR's etc

i probably wouldnt purchase one without.

they dont always come from auction. mine was purchased from a dealer in japan, therefore no auction sheets

ALL cars that come out of Japan have dereg papers etc which MUST show genuine kms and all sorts of other details about the car. This is the BARE MINIMUM you should ask any dealer for. If they don't/can't provide this then definitely walk away.

A LOT of yards based in Sydney doctor the kms (a guy in Sydney comes in with his laptop and changes the km in 5 minutes for a fee of $100)- it is easy as hell to spot how old these cars are - and they STILL advertise V35s with 25,000km on them - they have a yards full of them - yet when I was shopping around the Japan auctions for V35s I almost never came across cars with such low km. they also hold heaps of spares and can 'make' you a premium in a few hours with leather seats (half or full, your choice), pop-up TV, premium wheels and Brembos, depending on how much you are willing to pay.

I ended up buying a V35 from a dealer in Sydney that is a bit more reputable than most, and despite the disk rotors being WAY more worn (and badly lipped) than a 48,000km car should have, the rest of the mechanical checks I had done were good, so I bought it. But not before knocking him down $6k plus free delivery to Adelaide off his original price!

and thats why i bought a car with 88,000km on the clock, proved by photos directly from the dealer. car was a little rough, but wear and tear was as per the mileage

yeah dereg papers are required, but i said auction papers :)

Hi Andrew,

What are dereg papers? Do they come with the car when I bought it from the dealer?

I have what appears to be a service sticker from Japan under the hood of my car direct from nissan, it looks like it was serviced at 49,000 and it was then done again at 54,000 and from the dates there was 6 months between the service but there was no year markers just month and day (1st was*/9 then */3. i bought the car private with 76000 KM on it it im not sure what it was imported at but im prity sure it was low maybe in the 40s so go figure lol.

ill take a pic later and upload it, so if anyone can read Jap then can figure it out lol.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
