Translating A Uss Auction Sheet

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to translate this USS auction sheet (if possible, I know this might be a long long shot). I did basic Japanese back in school - but that's a distant and ancient memory now.

I have done some reading around on the internet and know how to identify the basic stuff on the auction sheet. I know there is a issue with odometer readings (*), which is basically my main concern. I know the stock odo shell was replace with a Nismo one at some point, but when (not sure if that can be gathered from this auction sheet)?

I know there are some HKS mods in there as well (but not sure what they are exactly).

Thoughts and opinions welcome.

Fair question.

As per what I have been advised, the original cluster was replace by the Nismo one at 58,000 kms in 2009. But the Nismo cluster now reads 59,000 Kms, which is why apparently the * is listed there. But again, this is all what has been advised. Not sure if this means the car is 58,000 kms + 59,000 kms = 120,000 kms (can anyone drive 59,000 kms in two years) or whether it was changed to a similar valued Nismo cluster in 2009 (I have been advised that this is what has occurred). My mechanic has given the thumbs up, but obviously I want to know roughly how many Kms the car has done whether its 59,000, 75,000 or 120,000.

Hope that makes sense.

Hey man

Well to give a short answer - there's not really any way to tell the true km of the vehicle... At least not from the auction sheet!

But here's a few clues to help you... Auction sheets list the km reading, If the km are non genuine - they used to place a ? Next to the odo reading... This is now a * because to the Japanese auction houses - and asterisk is less offensive than a question mark...

Same as why they now have a solid star instead of "grade R" for when a vehicle has been crash repaired...

So basically - nobody knows without contacting the previous owner...

BUT youll see the writing in the blurb "H19.6" which is relevant to the Nissan service year count....

So basically from what I can read (and unless anybody can prove me wrong) then your nismo dash isn't too far off the mark... Give or take maybe a few thousand km...

But honestly if you're asking because you're wondering how much you need to service it or to what extent? Given the amount of stuff written on the auction sheet id say that your service history docs should still be in your dashboard or at least stamped somewhere on a placard?

But my advise is if you're paranoid about whether or not to change waterpump..... Just do it all :) better be safe and knock it all out in the one round of labour than be sorry!!

Thank you for your advice.

As per what I have been advised, unfortunately there was no service logs that came with the car. The auction sheet was the only document provided.

The reason for the sense of paranoia is exactly because of wanting to know when to go about changing various parts.

Got a bigger image?

I can see you have a 320km Nismo meter, oil cooler, 3 HKS gauges, HKS air filter, some aftermarket muffler, roll bar etc.

You also have some worn seats & handles, slight rust under the body and a few dints patched up. Do I also see that it comes with a new car warranty card and manual?

The two rows on the top right of the line above H19.6 says that the meter is listed as altered as there are no records indicating when the Nismo meter was installed. So my guess is that they adjusted the Nismo meter to "around" 59k as you mentioned above. That said, the June 2007 inspection papers seem to say that there were 54649km on it, and 58558km in June 2009. Can't read the stuff on the right of those figures though. Something about installation or records.

Some other points:

Minor dint on the driver's side mirror?

Something done to the glovebox? Something installed inside?

Other parts still a bit hard to read. You also have a HKS intercooler and Xenon headlights though. :cool:

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
