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

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..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
