My mate bought a 34gtr from them. :S. I don't like the condition in which it is. It has different colored panels. So something suss there.

Lol, what a joke.

A paint thickness gauge will certainly reveal aberrations etc

I've seen this car sit out the front of a house on my street for over a year

Having got some advice about running/owning a Nissan Skyline V36 350GT sedan, I'm now at the stage where I need some advice on which importer to go for. All Imports have a couple of good ones and I recently test drove one which seemed nice - 2007, 17k on the clock.

However, I went in blind with no real knowledge about what to look out for. At this stage should I get an independent mechanic to check it out - any recommendations in Sydney? Have people purchased cars from them before?

Ensure that the history of the car (from Japan) is available for scrutiny.

Take your mechanic friend to see if the 17,000Kms on the odometer is befitting of its condition.

Take the car to a place familiar with Skylines eg Tune House Marrickville and get it up on a hoist for inspection > worth the money.

BTW, I thought that the V36 was a 370GT. The coupe will suffer less depreciation than a sedan, so keep that in mind.

yes it probably had 17,000k around 2009.

The only way to get real K's at the moment is to buy through a broker - They only make their "finders fee" and have no more money to be gained in the sale.

Yes I am a dealer but I only buy to order now - I can't compete with clocked cars.

There are a lot of brokers around but you need one who manages the process - Like Iron Chef.

I do some compliancing for his customers and he break my balls to get it done ontime & to budget - While others dump their clients on you and do not tell the client the rules and pitfalls - such as certain states having strange rules.

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
