Its not that they are hard to find its a mater of finding 1 that is a genuine grade 4 vehicle. grade 4 cars arent what they used to be and grade 4.5 are extremely rare in a car 10yrs old.

also be a little more specific to what your looking for IE 2 or 4 door auto or manual.

regards, Phil

furthermore to what phil said - forget grading system. it means jack sh1t these days esp in old cars.

your criteria isn't THAT hard to find... but trying to find one with less than 80K could make things difficult... esp if you plan to buy in 2011...

you'll still love the car the same amount if it's a bit higher - trust me :)

Exactly what they said. Don't be so concerned about the km's, the condition of the car is far more important.

A lot of 80,000km cars will have been wound back, especially on a car of that age.

Sorry more detail:

2 door, 5 speed manual.

so i how realistic is it to get even a 1998 34 series 1 in good condition imported if rating scales are pretty useless now? i'm planning to use Jspec Imports.

how far up for kms would u say is reasonable as I want to keep it for a while?

RE KLM

Nissan RB series engine would have to be 1 of the most trusted and reliable engines from any manufacturer dont be scared of klm with these just be concerned about condition and if possible service history which is difficult in Japanese market. but your buyer should know where to look for good maintenance as so do good mechanics(if not ask yourself why your using them).

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
