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??

ha ACA sucks, im sure they'll related it to Km's been wound back importing cars, then illegal modifying (defects) , then hoon behavior, then how hoons are all on ice... all in the space of one segement.

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 :)

Who winds back the number of Km on the Imported illegally modified hoon cars that he sells to the unsuspecting public......

Hus, you better hand yourself over!!

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
