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

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!

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
