Well just at a glance, compared to mine,

its got a body kit thats not mentioned in the ad,

Indicators on the guards, i dont have,

Wheres the import plate and build plate? they should be there on the firewall but there not. so it could be really dodgy.

Speedo numbers are wonky, so the k's are whatever, who knows.

Another indication of lots of kay's is the seats were replaced with unworn ones, and the gearshift and handbrake boots.

I bouhgt a 12 year old volvo with 200,000 kay's and the interior is like new, so.... heaps of stuff will need replacing on an old 32

How old are they now, 22 years? If theyre sht they are sht i know i got one.

A bit harsh i know but be careful.

Ps there all sht compared to sins 32, so he cant tell.

:w00t:

My GTR doesn't have indicators on the guards when others did.

I think some cars may have had them added when they came to the country.

As for seats and k's you never know what happens with these cars or what's been replaced it's really luck of the draw. Only thing you can do is get a mechanic or someone you can do to check it out and hope for the best really.

Thing is, they're at an age where if they haven't had things replaced they are shit. Even if they look pretty often they need a lot of work.

DIY Mick is spot on - Build and Import plates missing (Dodgey!!)

Speedo is aftermarket anyway. Add 40-60 thousand K's to the reading.

Side blinkers are at the discretion of the importer for compliance and local RTA during inspection.

Look for rust in and around the boot, lots of under body tar etc and like others have said, worn steering wheels, handbrake leather etc to indicate if kms are real.

Definently ask about the plate in the engine bay and compliance papers etc

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
