The only engine I had to check the oil every 2 weeks was my 2 stroke RGV. For a modern 4 stroke car engine, unless there is something majorly wrong every 2 weeks is excessive.

My engine loses around 500ml of Oil ever 3000kms. its takes 4.7L of oil each oil change which I do myself.

Do the maths and you can tell that there was something terribly wrong with the car I bought if I was loses 4.7L in less than 5000 km.

I really hope you see this Joe, Id love to hear what excuse you have now.

Take a look. If there are any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

According to the email, the sales contract states the car was sold with 65,123kms on the odometer. Did you receive the Japanese de-registration certificate with the car, if not have you since been able to get hold of it to qualify the kilometers?

Dodgy comes flying in!

I wonder if it actually had 65,123km

I asked for this, along with my friend that bought a car at the same time.

They were in the mail, then in his safe, then ill send them too you, then they got lost.

If you're still interested in getting hold of it please PM me your VIN/chassis number

There shouldn't be any surprise that Joe winds back the odometres. I was surprised when my car came out of his mechanics with extra Kilometres so I wouldn't be able to get my warranty.

I would have thought that that would not void your warranty as it was them that did the kms. Jesus.

And here I was looking for an Evo earlier this year and nearly bought into all the praise n shiz showered on Xtreme on EvoOz.

Pity all the people that have bought from this mob over the years. Guess their cars weren't all they thought it to be (regardless of whether it has broken down on them or not!).

Glad I went with the venerable Kristian Appelt instead (& not for the first time either) ;)

I've got everything from books to keys and always get given an ORIGINAL Export cert/De-reg paper.

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
