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..

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
