I know a few people here with Z11s that need a touch up.

I was privy to one that had '38k' on it with timing chain issues and tensioner issues. the car would not run and I was dragged in thinking it was electrical. mate of mine looked at it deemed mechancal and tossed another known km engine in. that dealer is south.

there are others doing heavy hits as well and regsitering them as clean.. those guys are north.

Just to put it out there the bz11s had a major recall on the timing chains. A lot never went in for the recall and I have done 2 in the last week. A surprise but when you pull it down you realize how cheaply built they are.

Out of interest, I went and had a look at a BB R34 Vspec GTR at a dealer in Sydney last week. I found it on carsales.

The salesman assured me that it has 28,000 genuine KM on it. However the seats, carpet and body looked like they had done alot more.

Quite upsetting - especially for the trusting person that ends up buying it, not knowing it's probably done atleast 10x what is on the odometer.

This dealer seems to sell a lot of GTR's (including Nurs, Mspecs - etc). Majority with very low KM and painted chassis rails.

Long due for a review I reckon.

I quite often go to Sydney for family reasons but also throw in sometime to buy parts/pick up stuff etc.

I went to a car yard down there to pick something up and while I was waiting, just looking at the cars and kms things just weren't adding up.

Price did not reflect kms. Especially on the cubes!

Had a white R34 GTR there that was said to be the owners with blah blah blah, minimal K's factory paint etc.. didn't look like it.

End of the day, the parts I was there to pick up, they didn't want to sell after the deal was done :S.

Terrible business etiquette.

Lets just say the yard is on a busy road and may or may not be green.

I remember the time I caught an import dealer out, it was basically a car from yahoo auctions with this digusting widebody front guards on it and black bonnet. It was an autech S15 and had over 130,000kms on it in Japan, I then saw it at a dealership in Sydney with 40-50,000kms on it. I have spent a lot of time backtracing import dealers and where they get their cars, and lets just say a lot of the jazz that comes into the country is graded R in Japan. I find it heartbreaking that absolute shit can come into the country, which is why im hesitant to buy a local import due to how much I know about the shit that floats in.;) As for that S15, Eddie Macguire says Brett Lee's bowling is good.

As for that bayside blue r34 gtr LOL, dont even go near it.......its been tampered with quite extensively.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
