i kinda works both ways yes. higher k's like that can mean more likely to be genuine k's, but you still never know as clusters get swapped out for various reasons. So yeah, check everything else as you said, loose panels and dash can suggest they have been removed/replaced so even condition of replaceables can be faked. Basically it comes to the overall feeling you get from all things combined (and mechanical report). It can have 300k's on it but if its been well maintained or rebuit etc there's no problem The other thing is if you don't mind spending and working on it just buy a cheap one that looks good and fix it as it needs it. No matter how much you spend on buying it, you WILL spend more afterwards..

In addition I must add that I found both my 33's on carsales (Have now bought 4 cars found on carsales.). Both well priced and very clean examples with documented history, so do look around as they are out there.. As for importing, well you might be able to save a few dollars or get a really nice example. However the delay in waiting and the potential hassle, for me, wouldn't be worth it unless buying a gtr. But by all means speak to an importer and see if there is anything on its way. Don't be scared buying interstate either, just make sure you get it thoroughly checked out by a mechanic and an experienced/knowledgeable friend and do a revs check and run the numbers through the online checking tools. There's a thread here where you can get the vin put through FAST which will give you info. Pretty much do some research, but beware that they are getting old and are typically given a hard life, and a lot of backyard mods, so expect the unexpected. If you plan to track it and have some real fun, then i'd suggest trying to keep the other car just in case. Those walls can jump out at any time you know!! =)

I'm pretty keen to meet a few of you. New to the region and want to meet some like-minded fellows..

Personally I prefer the 33. but for you 1 year play toy, probably say go 34. either way you are going to lose abut the same on it once you sell (about 1k), provided it remains in the same condition. reliability/age really is irrelevant as it comes down to the condition of the specific car, how its been maintained and or abused, sometimes its just a lemon. If you are "pushing it to it's limits" and modding it, that's what will devalue it more than time. Basically, if you can find one here from a member of a few years and genuine enthusiast with about 200rwkw and well looked after then you should be on a winner that you don't need to spend more on modding. buying here gives you the opportunity to research the seller and their posts/history of the car and their reputation. either way get it checked out !!
