One of my favourite threads "Beware - R34 Gtr" - 17 pages, 15 months later and still causing mayhem. It was highly amusing to see this forum mentioned in one of Phil Lees youtube videos. Ranked 2nd when googling "edward lees" - a web SEO experts worst nightmare.

So... new year, fresh stock - time to share the love and give Phil a break from all the limelight hogging.

carsales.com.au no longer display VIN by default as part of a used car for sale ad on the web (this sux). They still store the information and display it in their Apps (Android, IOS, WinRT) however.

I don't think any import has genuine KMs.. they all get haircuts HERE IN AUSTRALIA, not Japan however dealers say "I derno it was done in Japan" - dickheads. I love how people straight away blame Jap

I went to look at an RX7 at Lee's. I mentioned I was part of SAU and he had a rant about how the forums are always bullshitting about his business. I just nodded and backed away. I honestly think he b

At least it looks like a relatively honest car from the auction sheet, just significantly overpriced given the kilometres.

Look at this example:

"Unmolested" and "mint" aren't words that immediately spring to mind when viewing the video...

As much as I disagree that -110,000kms constitutes "relatively honest" it is fair to say the one in your linked video is some of Phils 'best' work...

"Honest" was the wrong word, but it looks like an acceptable car (e.g. not R grade and has a clean interior). You'd consider buying it at an appropriate price.

Not all that surprised at the R32 auction sheet. Can you see how much it sold for?

It's a nice earner for the unethical.

The auction sheet shows that R32 has corrosion, accident damage, lots of changed parts - the bad news goes on and on. It's barely good enough to be a half cut.

I think you're missing the point here mate. The point is that the auction sheet shows 189,000 and the advert now shows the car to have 79,310km. Yet another dodgy dealer scamming the unsuspecting/naive public by offering a car for sale that they say has done 40% of its actual mileage.

How and why are these importers are getting away with this still? It's an absolute joke.

That's a massive haircut. And it's hugely overpriced even for a clean stocker - some of the private cars you can buy here are much better. <br /><br />Should send all this info to the dept of fair trading its just plain fraud

I don't know how this bloke sleeps at night honestly, must have zero conscience.

For the sake of clarity - we are talking about at least two distinct 'blokes' in this thread. The R33 GTR is not for sale at Edward Lees but another dealership down the road (yes, the R32 below it is an Ed Lees special).

Unfortunately no sheep stations on offer for the first to correctly guess which other dealership.

Well the car is advertised for sale on their website, they can't expect people not to look at it / discuss it:

http://www.uniquemotors.com.au/stock/1996-nissan-skyline-gtr-3250/

All their cars have the VIN displayed on the website, would be interesting to see what the rest of their stock is like.

V36 350GT with 33,804km:

http://www.uniquemotors.com.au/stock/2006-nissan-skyline-v36-350gt-premium-3193/

R32 GTR with 111,037km:

Just to clarify, I wasn't defending winding 110,000 kms off the odometer.

I do think it's worse to tart up a R grade car with accident damage, dubious modifications and rust and advertise it as "mint" and "unmolested", compared to taking a reasonable 3A grade car and lopping off the kilometers.

Both ultimately amount to fraud though.

For the sake of clarity - we are talking about at least two distinct 'blokes' in this thread. The R33 GTR is not for sale at Edward Lees but another dealership down the road (yes, the R32 below it is an Ed Lees special).

Sorry for derailing the thread slightly. That R32 came up on my Youtube front page and I had to share its horrors.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
