Judging by his ad the Kms are legit as he states any test welcome, original export certificate supplied. It's rare to see dealers or private sellers providing original export certificates - dealers usually wind Kms back.

As for the rays - they can be easily painted a different colour either DIY or powder coated for 100 bucks here in melbourne

Whoops, just saw that the carsales ad identifies is as a 2003 model. In any case, use the attached link to get to the JP centre calculator. Input CPV35-[insert last 6 digits of the VIN number] and you will get the details of the year and month of production.

Just an additional verification tool in your quest for the new car.

yes that is correct.

Just to let you know though: when you purchase a car, to make sure the kms are genuine you should look at:

1) if they have all the log books, from japan/australia, with full service history from day 1.

2) the export certificate (original not photo copied)

3) check the interior wear/tear - steering wheel wear/gearknob is faded or not?

4) test drive the car - is it smooth?

if you really want to get into the details you can also see if the rotors are lipped/ plenum condition....

if you purchase from a dealer, 99% of the time they won't give you the original export certificate. and 99% of the time they will only supply Australian log book history not the japanese ones.

Cars with low mileage is not unheard of in Japan, public transport is extremely convenient over there and people tend to just use that,

just to give you an idea mate, when I purchased my car (2004 coupe), I went to about 4 dealers here in Melbourne, out of all the "genuine mileage" cars they advertised, they did not provide auction sheets/log books or export cert for any ---------------------------> I wonder why???

Thanks Yun, she drove home like a champion, and I love how it turns heads.

Got a few small plans, but don't think it needs much to be close to just the way I want it - you've done all the hard work!

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
