Importing at 98000km, 100000km service?

[rawhide]

Hi guys

I'm considering importing an unmodified 95 R33 GTR Vspec which has 98000km on the clock. I'm unsure whether these are genuine with log books or whatever the Jap equiv is, but for now I'll assume it is (will try and find out before comitting to anything though).

Would anyone highly advise against this at 98000?

I realise there may be a few parts and fluids to replace. Anything major?

It's looking to be quite a cheap buy and being completely stock, a good place to start modifying on my own terms. But I have a gut feeling the cheapness of it may be due to it being so close to 100000km, and it may need some expensive parts but I'm not sure.

Anyone who's done a 100000km service on a 33 GTR (or vspec), your input would be greatly appreciated

GTR parts are readily available - things like timing belt, water pump, idler/tensioner bearings etc would be identical to R32 GTR parts, which were sold here (albeit in limited numbers originally). My 100,000km service (R33 GTS25t) cost around $450 two years ago, parts are much cheaper now.

I doubt whether the low price would be purely because it's close to 98,000km. I'd be asking to see the auction sheet with the grade on it, and get someone you trust to translate it and try to give you some idea of any potential problems. The auction gradings are very strict, they'll pick on the tiniest thing, so if there's something wrong, there's a pretty good chance it'll be on the sheet.

Thanks. The sheet is available at my request apparently, which I will do. The importer claims it has an auction grading of 4.

Good thing I know someone who reads Japanese, or if they can't translate it he'd know someone who could
