This is awful.

Still confused how this particular dealer has managed to get away with this for so long?

Maybe people like painted chassis rails and odo's which dont align with the wear and tear presented on the vehicle?

Holy SHEIIITTT,

Ash you saved me from a big headache, i was gonna go put a deposit on this thing -.-

really intrested in a GT-R but i dont know if i should blow 50-60 G's and end up with a lemon.

this was a wake up call lol

Holy crap... Keen eye there Nismoid and quick thinking.

I'm agreeing with Ricky, photos are clearly photoshopped. Wish there was legal power around this type of behaviour - especially if the car is no longer what it was in Japan.

Funny how the exporter has a Facebook page and this car is on it.

Join his page he's a decent guy and this should not reflect upon him at all, he sells the cars with genuine k's as you can see by his webpage.

The blame is all to do with the Aussie importer who is the shonk.

Again this type of crap devalues the actual price of the good cars in the market.

We work on plenty of great cars and see how much their owners love their cars but we also see guys coming in saying "my car has 48k's on her and one owner", we do not have the heart to tell them the cars are crap.

I personally hate the industry now as it is.

The Japanese Exporter, FCAutosource advertised the car warts and all - Danny from FC is a top guy and straight shooter. As SecretR33GTR said, this should in no way reflect poorly on him. What shonky dealers do after they've bought the car is out of his control.

The annoying thing is - this is the kind of car I get pointed to when someone enquires about importing a BNR34 with me and I give them an honest and frank price range to expect. "but I can get one already here cheaper". It's like shopping for a peach and being stoked to pick up a lemon for half the price.

The car on the All Imports is a completely different.

For starters it is; Midnight purple 2 not 3.

What started this discussion was the same photos used on the website from japan and then All Imports.

When this thread was posted, the photos had already been changed to the current photos you see.

And then to follow on from that, the carsales ad which I saw first and it is even cheaper than all imports website:

http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/nissan-skyline-2000-13645720?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=16&page=2&eapi=2&__N=1246+1247+1252+1282+4294963846+4294963593+1216&num=15&silo=Stock&Range=Price:40000,50000~0.5&sort=default

Regardless, apparently the car isn't in Australia yet and also, the link above says a deposit has already been taken... should be interesting.

I know of a person (an SAU member) who complained to Fair Trading about other cars they had, the person presented auction sheets, printouts from the AllImports system and what happened ? Zero.

Fair tradings attitude is this - if it happened in Japan it is buyer beware but if it happens here they will prosecute.

It is almost impossible to prove where it is done as k's are not recorded on any offical documents at the wharfs and unless you have an original dereg from Japan you are not going to find it easy. There are ways of getting the last registration papers from Japan but unless you are 95% you want the car the cost of those papers can add up very quickly.

A quick note - a GTR we just did for a forum member came in 2 weeks ago and it had a different looking dereg form, looks like they have updated the appearance.

The car was less than 2 years old - personal import job.

As Import Monster and all decent importers will tell you - the cars are running out in Japan. There were only so many built of the models we can import and finding a great car at a good price is becoming very difficult. Remember the Japanese love their GTR's as much as we do.

If you ever take a trip to Japan you will be extremely lucky to see a R32, R33 or even R34 GTR running around in the cities.

Carsales ad doesn't even have the right VIN etc - so just ensuring people can't search via that and find out either.

I truly feel sorry for someone that would put a deposit down at "50k" or there abouts, when the car is worth 35k tops.

I'd say you could push it on grounds of dishonesty and false advertising.

CllcrDealer deserves a visit from the police. But why are people calling this car a lemon ? Have you driven it ? KM dont mean anything its how the car is used eg low km track whore or high km highway cruiser.

Y not a visit from us, put up a protest for a weekend, stand out the front with signs about odo tampering SAU to the rescue i say, if anyone knows the guy that has put the deposit down get him to pull out of it unless the car is mint.

I got stung like this when i got my GTR, bought it private had a nismo cluster with 34,000km on later inspection after i blew the engine the week i bought it, and now the turbos the week i get it back after the run in, that A, KM are not legit no way a car with 34,000km will do a bottom end under light/medium load and then blow turbo seals out and spit oil through my intake.

On the bright side, i now have a Built 34 GTR, rated to around 800HP that im about to strap a set of -9's onto :woot:

I dont know if the previous owner knew about any issues with it or not but the car was imported in 2009 by auto style performance in sydney so i suspec that they have doctord it and also coverd up a fender bender on the drivers side. I also called them asking for details about when it was imported wanting auction papers and such for my reccords, they claimed that the business owners changed so they didnt have any papers from cars before they took over.

I've been looking to purchase a R34 GTR for the past few months...

I look at the jap auctions on a daily basis and when I saw this R34 GTR on carsales, the car looked familiar because of the rare color.

Its an auction grade 3.5C and was sold for 2,145,000 JPY / 25,976.25 AUD at the auctions.

I do hope the person who put the deposit down sees this thread as he deserves to know!

The dealership has also removed the carsales pics, maybe they have seen this thread?

Anyway here is the auction sheet and pics...

BAM! GZILAH you are my new favourite person :D

If anyone wants to remove all doubt, when it comes time to view the car at the dealer, the vin is BNR34-006724 - the new Australian one should just be 6U9000BNR34006724

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
