Beware - R34 Gtr For Sale In Sydney


Recommended Posts

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!

    • I'm struggling with a similar issue on an RB26. Make sure you know whether it's volume or resonance. Mine seemed louder when cruising compared to at idle. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone. Take my less than scientific results with a couple grains of salt, but the decibels were the same at idle and at cruise. Mine seems to be a resonance problem. At 2500-3500 rpm, the sound is different and "louder" to my ear. I think it's vibration from the pipe, the car body, the floor or something creating tone. Anyway, consider that it may not be strictly a volume problem.
    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
