I will post up the checks this afternoon and you can decide buzz.

Its hard to beleive it's an administrative error. That's like sayin the RTA has your vin incorrect on their system.

If it's not the same car then what is it?

Mistakes do get made with rego.

My dad had a motorbike for years then realised that the number plates weren't correct to the papers, two letters were swapped.

This seems like an odd situation though.

There will probably be a simple explanation - e.g. the seller has misread one of the digits on the chassis number. Did they send you a picture of the ID plates?

It would be a very elaborate fraud over more than a decade otherwise. Sounds like hard work to maybe make $10k over a 'normal' R33 GTR - the tart up job on the engine bay alone!

You'd really want to know off the auction sheet what "R" (for repaired) really means!

Grade R or Ra:

Used to mean accident car that’s been repaired, but is now used by a lot of auction companies to grade cars they don’t want to put a grade 3 on.

Either way expect a heavily repaired vehicle or something in need of major love.

Vehicle with previous accident history, indicating the car has been in an accident in the past which has since been repaired.

Cheers guys,

Don't get me wrong the car looks great but to me there is too much variables. If I was to buy it and decide to sell the car in the next 3-4 years the next buyer (assuming they did the check) will also be questioning this.

Anyone have any idea how to put up documents?

I wouldn't even be considering this anymore, to many things you can't be sure on, if the km's aren't verified or if there no auction papers I say walk away.

For that sort of coin I'd be looking at the LM spec R33 GTR that's for sale on here, would be worth a lot more then the white one in 5-10 years.

get in contact with the buyer again. ti also seems liek he has been doing some research himself. must be hard to sell.

"UPDATE.

I have been in contact with the first Australian owner of the car, and have received important paperwork including,
*Invoice when the car was purchased in 1998.
*An Australian compliance and engineering certificate, with cars km's at 4,590.
*Vicroads road worthy certificate, dated 5-3-98 also stating cars km's at 4,590.
*First vicroads rego paper from 1998."

Since purchasing the car from the original importer back in 2011 I have driven it a mere 500kms, it was freighted to my now home in NSW with the intent of using it as a daily driver, but unfortunately that has not happened.

    • 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.
