Hi All,

Need your help with this one. I am looking to buy a Slyline 370 SP and have shortlisted a couple of cars with Jap Auto World & Nagoya Motors(Have a time & finance constraint, hence can't import). My questions are:

  • Has anyone had any good / bad experiences with any of the above dealers.
  • One of them has sent me the Dereg papers for the car. Can you please let me know if there is anything obviously wrong with this.
  • I am planning to get an NRMA inspection done on the car I select. Anything else I should be doing?

Thanks

I got my stagea from nagoya motors and have had no problems with them I found Alexi to be very helpful even got different tyres put on the car for me as the ones on the car were a brand I wasn't familiar with at not cost haven't had any issues with then even after the car died after shopping one day as the battery was old he sorted towing and a replacement battery very helpful I will highly recommend them. Happy shopping mate.

Doesn't look like a dereg Certs, but an export cert, simply posting the details I'd the car as it was shipped.

A dereg will state two different dates and the recorded mileage at the points.

Why not use one of the jap history check companies to find the auction papers and Certs, it's a small price to pay for the investment of a car.

So, the car was travelling 12,733kms per year on average for the first 3 years of it's life. According to RAWS that car was imported in April 2013 (http://raws.infrastructure.gov.au/rawswebpublic/RAWPubVehSearch.asp), implying it spent at least another two years in Japan after March 2011.

The dealer is asking you to believe that in those two years, the car suddenly only travelled 3,800kms.

Did you try asking the dealer for the auction papers?

Don't bother with an NRMA check - generally RAA/NRMA are freaking useless with imports. Take it to your nearest import specialist/workshop and get them to look it over.

And as dodgy said above, get the auction papers. Something sounds fishy. Don't trust a car salesman as far as you can kick them. And don't believe them about any implied or specific warranty - they are not worth the paper they are printed on.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
