only has 91,000kms according to the auction sheet and they still gave it a hair cut and only has 73,000kms on it now

its not just a 20k odd haircut, notice the little * next to the kilometers, that means the car is a unverified mileage car so it could have 150k or even 200k who knows!!!

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 Japan for doing it, why would these honest people do it? Looking back at the tsunami, ATMs were smashed open, cash was flying around.. no one even looted then.

I'm sure my current R33 has about 300 000kms, the dash shows half of that.

Another dodgy R doing the rounds. I thought it's about time i get back into the GTR scene (previous R got stolen a few years back). I was looking for a stock or close to stockish GTR, which i could use as a good base for the boys at Racepace to work there magic on.

I found one in carsales which was within my budget, so before i got serious about the car i thought i'll get the auction sheet to check it's history:

Lol they even peeled off the timing belt sticker and also the seats look worn as shit for a car with supposedly under 80000 km... Also love how the odometer lines up real well

Fuarking dealers - never can trust any of these monkeys

Lol...yeah, it was the pealed sticker in the engine bay that made me want to get the auction sheet.

Sad to see, these idiots still get away with stuff like this.

Pretty decent information. Makes me want to purchase cars directly from them. Good marketing tactic "we sell imports with genuine Ks" haha
Just make sure you have the certificate, history and import dates and it should give you a clearer indication.

I found that cars which are imported to australia closer to its manufacturer date "e.g. 2002 r34 GTR imported in 2005, is more likely to have genuine Ks, then one which was importer in 2012. Combine that with full service history every 5000ks + the date of service + Import certificate(including date), you should have some level of peace of mind. Especially when in private sales.

hey guys i was reading this and it's got me super interested in learning about my car. How do you track down the auction sheet for your import? I found out some compliance info at the site below but no km info. http://raws.infrastructure.gov.au/rawswebpublic/RAWPubVehSearch.asp

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:

R32 GTR with 111,037km:

http://www.uniquemotors.com.au/stock/1994-nissan-skyline-r32-gt-r-3202/

Gotta laugh that less than 24 hours later - they've all been removed from the site.

If that is not an admission of outright guilt, who knows what is.

Take screen shots next time ;)

also obviously preying on the P platers

http://www.uniquemotors.com.au/stock/1998-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-t-3389/

98 34 GTT (180000km) ok higher ks yes
$12990

http://www.uniquemotors.com.au/stock/1998-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-3360/

98 34 GT (115000km )

$19000

even with the km difference thats a big price difference from a gtt - gt for the kiddies

The market drives the price though doesn't it. If silly kids realised they could buy a cheap car and wait untill their full licence then dealers wouldn't be able to give away non turbo skylines.

Looking cool costs heaps of cash

Kids.

Back in my day..

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
