No, its fine if its through auction (no debt owed on the car etc etc)... you should be able to tell fairly well if its still ok, you can start them etc at auction but not drive.

other then been given a hard time whilst stolen the car should usually be fine.

We baught a deawoo lanos from the auctions before for me to learn in before i got the r33, and we only found out when we went to rego it that it was stolen/recovered and it was 100% perfect:S

Hope this helps

Just make sure it has no outstanding debts (such as car loans etc) you'll probably do this on all cars you buy, its a revs check.

As long as its complied, everything is their, nothing should be a problem. in the ACT you have to go for an ID check (to make sure its not rebirthed).

Insurance is just the same as any other car you buy... its really no different, someones car was stolen, then they found it and repaired any damages if it had any and gave it back...

i have heard of some problems with this, just make sure the cops are finished with this, i have had someone buy a s6 rx7 from the auctions all in good faith, the cops then came and repoed it again, he had to fight it in court to keep his car.

there is a certificate you can get, costs like $10-$30 and it just secures you in writing, and protects you if they ever come to repo it...

Thats called a rev's check which i what i said you need to check...

Here in canberra at pickles auctions they guarantee that the car has no outstanding finanace... so i cant possibly see how the cops could come a repo it when it has no outstanding finance on it specially when its been handed back to the insurance company, and then to the action squad, then to you.

Just be careful, thats all.. the same as you would with any other car.

Goodluck.

I got a certificate of registered interests on my car which protects you if financers come to your door to collect the car, as a verbal phone check from vic roads isnt enough. it cost 8 bucks

thats the 1 i was talkin bout :P

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
