not that out of the realm of possibility, an 80L tank with highway economy, it is quite possible.

My 6MT returns around 7.6L/100km on the highway, even if you assume 8.0L/100km and you were able to use every last drop of fuel, you would see 1000km.  Or 870km with 10L left.

That is of course assuming the OP is suggesting that.. the image is hardly self explanatory.

Got it from the car yard down the road.

Do they know themselves of any history of the cars they sell?

Oh.

 

Yes they are very likely aware the odometer has been rolled back.

 

 

anyway,  it's just a number.  Don't put too much value on it.

Some things you can check. If the seat beats match the kms, If they look really old or brand new like they just replaced them.

Some service shops put dates on parts when replaced, like the Air cabin filter. Check that. Dodgy dealers don't bother with swapping it out.

there are a few online services that can check on the auction history of the car which will show what the odometer read when submitted to auction and what condition it was in, sometimes you can't trust just the most recent auction sheet either, there are dodgy operators that buy damaged/high odo vehicles at auction in Japan.  Patch them up, wind back and then re-auction, the importer then only shows you the most recent auction sheet which makes it all look legit.

These online services can check for all auction history, not just the most recent.

I would recommend these for anyone even considering buying an import from a local (Australian) yard.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
