My mate bought a 34gtr from them. :S. I don't like the condition in which it is. It has different colored panels. So something suss there.

Lol, what a joke.

A paint thickness gauge will certainly reveal aberrations etc

I've seen this car sit out the front of a house on my street for over a year

Having got some advice about running/owning a Nissan Skyline V36 350GT sedan, I'm now at the stage where I need some advice on which importer to go for. All Imports have a couple of good ones and I recently test drove one which seemed nice - 2007, 17k on the clock.

However, I went in blind with no real knowledge about what to look out for. At this stage should I get an independent mechanic to check it out - any recommendations in Sydney? Have people purchased cars from them before?

Ensure that the history of the car (from Japan) is available for scrutiny.

Take your mechanic friend to see if the 17,000Kms on the odometer is befitting of its condition.

Take the car to a place familiar with Skylines eg Tune House Marrickville and get it up on a hoist for inspection > worth the money.

BTW, I thought that the V36 was a 370GT. The coupe will suffer less depreciation than a sedan, so keep that in mind.

yes it probably had 17,000k around 2009.

The only way to get real K's at the moment is to buy through a broker - They only make their "finders fee" and have no more money to be gained in the sale.

Yes I am a dealer but I only buy to order now - I can't compete with clocked cars.

There are a lot of brokers around but you need one who manages the process - Like Iron Chef.

I do some compliancing for his customers and he break my balls to get it done ontime & to budget - While others dump their clients on you and do not tell the client the rules and pitfalls - such as certain states having strange rules.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
