when purchased 2-3 years ago my read $69 on the odo.. suuuuure it only ever did that.....

guilty until proven inocent is true. I tend to believe mine did over 100k by a bit and now is in the 130-160 mark after putting a solid 30$ on it myself.

kind of funny how all these cars read roughly 60-70k on the odo's and then after the first owner drop significant value as the first owner pushes past the 100k mark... kind of a self perpetuating cycle isnt it... fresh imports... what a crock of shit... ITS A SECOND HAND CAR FOR GOD SAKE~!

Treat it as such, think logically... hey wait... best case is that the k's arent turned back THAT far .. its just been idling in chocked multimillion people sized city traffic jams day in and day out. another option.. general cheapy that has been picked up like the monkey said and light fixer upper and sold for a mint paying all the various middle men along the way to you... orrrr its a shit box with some $$$ spent on it but mostly dodgy work....

worst case I ever saw... entire engine bay + car from snow area with salt on the roads had rust EVERYWHERE! ... resprayed straight over the top and shipped over... to bad when it got here the rust did its thing and bubbled up... the car looked like that cancer ridden chick with makeup over the mega aids xma over her face smoker add...

hmm time for a cigy... I like to tell myself it will never happen to me.

Far out I'd be majorly pee'd off if that was my car!

when i bought my 32gtr a couple months back it had done 79,000 kms im sure it may have done more but only 20,000 tops because it still had the original timing belt. one of the first things i replaced but is that a good indicator?

it would be possible to swap instrument panels. They just plug in and hey presto, low kms.

exactly, thats what i reckon they do most commonly for the digital dashs. Also if you know some one dodgy in the dealerships, they can plug in to their laptops and adjust the digitial reading, but the only problem with this is that is leaves an "imprint" on the computer saying what dealership and date something was adjusted.

My bros bosses son (bit of a tree haha), bought a a 93 r33 gtst with 65000km on the clock. I looked at it and laughed at him, biggest POS, not a chance its done less than 100000km. Even the waterpump was starting to leak coolant, and they dont go until the 150000km mark

there are dodgy people out there, but like everyone said, judge the car on its condition

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?

      Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.

      RB25DET Solid lifter conversion

      It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
