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!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
