Holy shit. That r34 on the last page, dodgy as f**k.

Props to you guys informing everyone on this kinda stuff.

Is it even possible to obtain auction papers? Because it looks like its the only way to confirm recent imports true odo readings.

Sure you can. Buy the car yourself in Japan through some auction service like the smart people do.

You'll get to see the auction sheet.

If you want you can even PM me and I'll translate it.

If a car has its proper shaken history included it is difficult to falsify odo readings in Japan now because as was said earlier the export certificate will reflect that.

All the clocking is happening on the other end now.

I haven't read the whole thread but has anyone considered writing something to their local member of parliament / minister for transport to have a certified copy of the original deregistration certificate included during the import process?

Maybe something legallly can be put in place so this nonsense stops.

What benefit would the government gain from doing this? If it doesn't make them money, why would they help?

We're talking about a very small % of affected cars (not even considering the fact that it's an import)

Unfortunately I dont think it will do much

Has anyone seen this car? What got my attention is the pictures used are all from the global auto japan website, EXCEPT the engine bay pic

http://www.global-auto.ne.jp/stock/public_stock_detail.php?entry=0315.dat&model=BNR34

so if its the same car, it lost its S1 engine on its way down under?

I think it is more up to us, the car enthusiasts to do what we can to stop this. After all it is all of us who get affected by these cars as they get released into our close nit market. None of us want to be buying anything like this so we have to do what we can to make sure no one does.

The more awareness we can provide to the community and potential owners about places like Edward Lees, the more value the skyline / import community has!

More pics of that particular car, many thanks to a SAU member. As you may already know, this car has had its odometer wound back. However, it did receive a Grade 4 when it passed though auction. Looking at the pics, its absolutely shocking to see how that happened! A word of warning, DONT take auction gradings to be gospel. I've seen this happen so many times but was able to dodge an expensive bullet every single time thanks to my importer!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
