They will be showin a story tommorrow night about how Klms are being wound back. Saw a r33 gtr - apparently had 130,000 when bought at auction, but is being sold with 70,000 klms on the clock. They didnt show any other cars apart from a hilux ute.

looks like it man....but they are doing the story as if the klms changed once the car landed here......

i thought it said that on the auction sheet it showed 130,000 klms and it showed 70,000 on the car.

wouldn't that mean that it was wound back here??

I can't wait till the media get to the "the sky is falling" by chicken little and

go into how the young minds are all doing pot ......

Oh they already did that last night :)

What next NEWS FLASH

RECENT EVENTS HAVE MADE US SUSPECT

"the politicians......are they lying to us or telling us the truth" :O

I think it is all the authorities, trying to come up with why we are spending so much money in running them.

And, the fact that they have discovered something no-one knew before... :D

Does the car have aftermarket guages??? - coz that would explain alot!

yeah bec - it had one of those ?nismo? 320km/h speedos (blue numbers with white backing) - which obviously would mean that it was changed at around 60,000klms. But ACA doesnt know about this - although they and most of the media are "specialists" when it comes to jap imports.

I reckon it would be funny to see what they have to say. probably another story to deter people from buying imports?

Pretty much all importers wind back clocks.

Digital distance counters are even easier to wind back. Just reflash a rom chip and off you go. Big discussion was in the Stagea section a while back.

As far as who does it, its the guys in Aus that do it and some people in Japan. 10,000km here, 10,000km there, it all adds up to reduce the km's heaps by the time it finally gets here.

And yeh, as above, its nothing new. Goooooo MEDIA! LOL

Most grey imports are that GREY IMPORTS, They speedo could be replaced etc so even in Japan they aren't a true guide to actual Kilometers done in a vehicle.

Rule of thumb by an import then do 100,00km service to be sure :)

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect
