Greetings,
I've recently got an imported r34 with good paperwork. A bunch of stuff
was done to it in 2003, and included in the invoices is part 13028-RSR45
a nismo timing belt.
Now the workshop here in australia I'm getting them to do a baseline service,
is very skeptical of the documented kms and points to the timing belt state as
a sure indication the car has seem much more kms..
The picture is attached. You can faintly see the part number is present & correct.
The mechanic told me that since the printing was all but invisible, the car must
have done much more than the low mileage documented.
The last logged service was in 2006, 2 years ago, and at that point the car had
just 19,000. It has 27,000 now .. so despite being 7 years old it didn't accrue
much at least till 2006.
What do you reckon?
Is the timing belt state a revealing sign of kms? There is no cracking or other signs
of wear in this one, just the vanished printing..
