Black R34 Gt-r In Vic - No Import History

[JGTC]

Morning Gents,

I came across this GT-R yesterday and decided to call the owner as i'm in NSW and can't casually see the car

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1999/SSE-AD-3432860

I wasn't able to gather much information regarding the history of the car ie. how/who bought it in, auction grade etc as the owner claims he no longer has any of the import documentation like export/de-reg certificates, auction sheet etc

From the vicroads records, the car was only complied in 4/2014

I understand services like Japanese odometer check exist to get the export documents, is there any other avenues to consider for situations like this?

Also the modifications he claims were all done in Japan prior to import, but was tuned by Racepace - seller's list below

After market parts including:

Ohlins coilover suspension

Nismo 600cc injectors

Nismo Fuel Pump HKS oil cooler

HKS GD Max Twin Plate Clutch

HKS 25/30 Turbos

Tomei Oil restrictor

Tomei Poncam Camshafts

Apexi Power FC with Controller

Short Shift kit N1 oil pump

Nismo style side skirts and Rear bumper pods

Brand new RAYS TE37SL Double Pressed Black 19x10.5

Eclipes Navigation head unit

Dyno tuned by Racepace 324KW at the wheels

I'm pretty interested in the car and getting it inspected as it presents quite well, but a bit wary as the car has very little documentation with it

Thoughts?

IMO people dont just lose import documents and auction papers when they'd know how important they'd be come time to sell. In saying that get the De-reg check done and if the inspection comes back all good then thats all that really matters isnt it?

I would be less concerned about frequently forged or modified documents and more concerned about the "feel" of the car. You need to see the car. You don't buy a $60K car without seeing it IMO. Cars NEVER EVER look as good in reality as they do in photos. Especially through Carsales as they suck every last drop of quality out of the photos when you load them which makes any car look good as blemishes don't show up.

If you've seen a few cars you get a good idea of what a 90,000km car really looks like. If it drives good, looks legit compared to how it's advertised and you're happy with the price, go for it!

Drool....

That's exactly the kind of R34 I'd want in 9 years or so when they become legal here in the States. Black and relatively stock looking.

Stupid 25-year import rule

I might do that lol. Awesome to see a big fan of these cars that has your lengthy experience

I'm probably going to be on the lookout for a 2000 R34 though - since my R32 is a 1990 and my R35 is a 2010 it'll make for nice symmetry lol.
