That's good advice, I would prefer to find something in Australia if I can. Dealer cars haven't all been bad, I quite like this '95 R33 which is pretty mint and been in Australia for a while and looks legit. Under $20,000 too so it looks like good value.

I've learned heaps reading through this forum, it's a gold mine!

Just a warning to the SAU Community from a private source. There is an R34 GT-R that's appeared online For Sale, with highly altered km's. Car has 145,000kms on it when looking at a Japanese listing:

I was in Sydney on the weekend and hadn't yet read this thread, long story short had a look at couple of private seller cars which I passed on. While in town had some time to kill so got on trusty ol

You see, the most of us on this forum are knowledgable and we know that there are Odo Checks and other facilities/tools in place to check that the car we are about to purchase is legit. However, T

Well let's hope you strike gold Shane.

Even whilst the car might go well, behave well, appears well > check it out from under a hoist and get comp test.

Rust and tired engine will degrade the value.

As a consumer and under the well known caveat "Buyer beware", spending 40-60K on a used vehicle I'd want to know every damn intimate detail of the seller and the quality of product they bring into the country.

In my opinion, this thread has been a wealth of knowledge for a would be consumer who may not have had previous experience dealing with a used car dealer.

Whilst I agree that Slander should be not tolerated in the post, the fact is, some dealers are giving us consumers a raw deal, and doing it sneakily and washing their hands of any wrong doing ("the mentality of , it was like that when it got here" I didn't tamper with anything.. Prove it")

Knowledge is power, the more we can reach out to a buyer, the more power we have in getting a legitimate deal and avoid the lemons.

Also, one i have just found out recently.... Although a REVS check will show up defects and vehicle history, it will NOT show EPA issues, we recently purchased a car then changed rego and got slapped with an EPA notice that is now our problem to get cleared! Its money we didnt plan to spend and drama we dont want to deal with! SO if its a private sale and its modified DO AN EPA CHECK!

yeah...if its the truth then we should spread the news and not let other skyline enthusiasts waste their hard earned $$ on lemons.

It's def the same car. In both videos you can see the same white sticker on the bottom right of the rear windscreen. Not to mention the Nismo exhaust and rare colour. How do they get away with it....

Lol it's funny how they removed their youtube video which showed the true odometer reading, they must be aware of the thread...

XX means that panel has been replaced, so its safe to say all the front end panels have been replaced according to the auction sheet lolol. Sigh. No wonder it sold for only 23k at auction

I thought R cars couldn't be complied?

This is true.

It can still be brought over though as a track ONLY car.

If they indeed sell it and register it isn't this therefore "illegal" ...?

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
