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!

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
