Vin from The video Anyone in Syd wanna go see if it's really the same car? I always notice how quickly that bloke goes past the cluster and build plates, never lingering long enough for you to get a rally good look at the numbers.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess.

A metric f**kload less.

With all the driveby shootings in Sydney these days you could only hope that one day someones gonna hit the right target.

looks like its much safer to stick to a trustworthy importer and slowly search for your dream car than getting one from a dealer.. its blasphemy how these people are treating the skylines... :(

That MP III GTR in the video J_R32 posted has 154,874 KM.... Wonder how much it'll be once it gets here

Sinno, just curious as to how you got the actual km travelled of the Edward Lees car? i am really tempted to comment on that youtube video to warn any potential buyers. this sort of thing really grinds my gears

It's just going to take one thoroughly pissed off buyer who has acquired data from both the exporter (in Japan) and the importer (here in Australia) to take the said importer to court whilst holding a stack of anomalies.

Also included shall be a declaration of proof of odometer Kms as the car leaves the shores of Japan + proof of odometer tampering after arrival in Australia.

Such proof could very well be the painting of screws to the cluster with a dye + the pics of those said screws before and after.

Further proof could be a frequency operated hidden camera where the vid can be relayed to a receiving station. Oh dear, this is getting complicated now isn't it?

Not my cup of tea.

*Edit:- sorry I brought it up. > Might have to resort to baseball bat after all > Actually I've always loved to use a mace on a chain > Where can such an object be obtained?

From the Knight shop of course. Comes in one, two or three ball.

They get to review all posts on that video before uploading. I've already left a couple which for some reason haven't been passed from the lying turds at Edward Lees.

Their time will come.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
