Does This Look Dodgy?

[nizmo_freek]

Heres some more pics, looks like its in pretty mint condition, what do you guys think??

[Kinks]

looks pretty clean to me, the proof will be seeing it in the flesh, having a close look over it and getting a thorough inspection done by someone you trust.

I found this steering wheel in FAST! it IS a factory option!! amazing...

does it say factory option even for r34 ??????cause i figured out the old jap owner of my car had alot of aftermaket stuff on it and i recon he may of just got hold of that steering wheel when he was selling the car so he could take a sports one off??????? this is of cause if it wasnt factory option for r34.

1. What's the VIN number?

2. How do you know its a 40th Anniversary model? None of the photo's he's given you show any 40th Anniversary badging and it doesnt seem to have any of the 40th Anniversary options like front bar or spoiler. FAST will clear that up. It doesn't have to have any of the options to be a 40th anniversary but it does need the badging.

3. Bit of strange looking rust on drive side front quarter panel seem

4. Needs new tyres.

I have been on the phone to the owner a couple of times over the past week, seems like a very nice and honest guy, yes the gearstick and handbrake boots have been replaced because when he got the car there was a big rip/cut in the gearstick boot so he replaced both the boots so they match up, the funny thing is he gave me some bad news lol, his farther was driving the car and hit a dog which cracked the bumper, but its going in to a reputable panel shop on monday to get fixed (he said he hates bog so hes getting it fixed the right way, which is good) i will be getting the car check out in sometime in the next few weeks and may even get a speedo/odometer check done on it for peice of mind

The car "is" a 40th aniversary, i saw a few exterior pics of it on the website it was advertised on, has the 40th aniversary badging on the rear quater panels, it also has the plastic CAS cover (same as the r34 CAS) which only came on the 1998 40th aniversary r33's so i have read.But overall the car seems in pretty good nick i think

Got any pics of this CAS cover ? what is it supposed to be? where is it? pics please...

and maybe im wrong, but there's not real way to check k's on a car....

[nizmo_freek]

Have a look at the pics od the motor,Its just the little black plastic cover thats bolted to the CAS, its meant to be the same as the r34, only the 40th aniversary r33's have it, which is what i have read on this forum and that seems to be correct from all the other series 1's and 95,96 and 97 r33's i have seen pics of.

Whats the CAS?

[nizmo_freek]

CAS=crank or cam angle sensor (some guys call it crank angle sensor others call it the cam angle sensor) its the round silver dome looking thing that is bolted to the front of the cambelt cover, and has a plug and wiring loom plugged into the bottom of it.It is connected to the exhaust camshaft and acts like a distrubutor on normall cars like hondas etc etc, sorry im not very good at explaining things lol

I have also read that the 98 40th aniversary edition r33's has a different TPS (throttle position sensor) than the other r33's

well there you go...I thought i had all the 40th anniv. differences pretty much down...but I didnt know about that 1....Looked at photos of my car when it was still in japan, and saw the cover, but i couldnt remember seeing it on the car...so was thinking maybe they left it off at compliance when they did my timing belt, water pump etc....

just went and had a look at my car, and there it is hehe
