Buying v35

Hi

Im not the best with cars but I'm looking to buy a 2002 nissan skyline v35 250gt.

I found one for sale from a private seller priced at $6000. I'm just worried about the odometer as its only got around 80000km on it. the guy said its an import and I've heard many imported cars have tampered odometers. the car itself runs pretty good and looks well kept though.

does this sound reasonable?

$6,000 seems quite cheap

I thougt the price wasn't cheap - it is an early model & a 250 (not 350) GT. The cheapest one on Carsales is $3500.

At that price range I don't think I'd worry about a history check, but I would want to have the car checked by someone who knows a bit about them.

250GT are pretty much worthless these days, its the base model of the whole V35 range and the least powerful... but, you get a lot of car for the money and they are a pretty damn good daily - quiet, well built, comfortable, fairly cheap to run and pretty decent to drive

ours has been pretty much trouble free for the past 5 years, only needing servicing and brake pads/disks. just keep in mind that they need 98 octane fuel and will also get carbon buildup due to being direct injected.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
