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

Guys, this thread has been a real eye opener. I'm already a naturally skeptic person, now it's going to be hard to trust any car on the market.

I'm currently after an r34 GTR vspec 2, just waiting on finance approval, but i wont be going anywhere near dealers like this. Its just crazy.

We should keep this thread going with any additional info. Things to look out for for the novice buyer, cars to avoid, specific things to request from seller like what certs, documentation, when to turn away if a particular doco cant be presented. Websites that can assist in the validation of a car. Ive already taken note of every helpful link in this thread, trusted importers, helpful information, but the more info we have, the less chance people will make a mistake when buying a car.

Thank you all.

I'll be in contact with a few Importers shortly.

Just read this thread and got paranoid about the 33 GTR i've been looking at.

Is there an easy way to track a cars Japanese history and old import paperwork?

The car I saw has a nismo dash, so wanna know when it got replaced and therefore the real kms on the chassis.

The dash had 120k on and the condition of the car is immaculate..

Looks better than a couple of 80k gtrs i have seen and drives very well.

It is a 95 GTR V-spec.

I have flicked iron chef an email to see if he can help.

Any thoughts?

Look for a guy on here called Dodgyimports. I believe he runs a service that will give you some good info.

Since your vehicle hit the shores of Aus it's anyones guess though :unsure:

Correct.

Just used a company called JOC (Japanese odometer check) on fb and internet.

Payed them a small fee and they traced the pre-import registration via the official Japanese vehicle department.

Quick and easy way to see recorded kms when it registered/re-registered in japan.

They get the paperwork and translate the page into english too!

Highly recommended!

Probably a must for a Japanese import especially after reading this particular thread!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
