ITS NOT  AN ACCIDENT REPARED CAR

Thats what I thought, sorry I wasnt doubting your kanji translation. ylwgtr2 seems to think its a smashed vehicle. So they give out Grade 4s based on a lucky door prize now do they?

Isnt that the whole point of the grading system to pick out the good cars from the bad and damaged ??? (insert super confused smiley)

ok then.........get this.....I repaired a 2003 nissan primera with 242klms on it in 2003.....it got sent to USS after i done it and it got a grade 4 :S........ something is wrong....why is it in the 4000 section?It may be there due to the question mark in the klms......Do you have the original sheet or is it a copy that has been emailed to you?Im not doubting your translation eitheir...just from what i have seen 1st hand these papers are "only a guide"and should be looked at with an open mind when buying

and blacky's paper also has a ? for the klms but its not in the 4000 section....and there both in considerably fainter(is that a word???) in writing....As the guy in the cadbury chocolate ad said "why is it so!"...it would be nice to actually pin point where the problem be if its my mistake,dodgy paperwork or whatever the case may be

Thats the one I got sent via email. Ive seen that question mark high lighted on other auction reports, ill see if I can find one.

The Supra I bought from Nagoya, according to j-spec the numbers 4001 - 4500

and 4501 - 7999 are at the "Green 2 block", and 1001 - 1500, 1501 - 2999 are the R graded vehicles.

your supra was from uss nagoya 29/10 @ 805,000yen ..non accident car ..mileage is correct...different uss auction have different lot numbering ...uss tokyo accident cars start 5000 #.... nagoya as above (j-spec)...question mark would be circled if mileage was sus and mileage unknown would be on auction sheet....settle down don`t listen to legends youve got a nice car there

Dam, if I can't trust the auction grade I'm screwed.  

Haven't bought the car but it will put me off getting

another Skyline if I can't rely on it.  

How can we resolve this one?

Stick to the grading system, and get it looked at, or ask jake, he really knows his shit.

I7B is airbag, im 100% sure of that one.

Thanks for the help jake, got rid of the confusion.

sorry blacky - I've been at a work seminar most of this week. If I get a break next week, I'll see what I can do for you. As I (think) I said, I've got the majority of it worked out - but I'm going to show a native the things I don't, as I simply can't deceipher the handwriting.

However, I have a feeling it's largely in 'auction sheet code/shorthand' - and is not going to be understandable for the people I can show it to

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
