i cring everytime i go past and see ppl in these dodgy caryards being taken for a ride

few ppl mentioned they did a odometer check, did anyone get back to the yard and ask for an explanation after sighting the de-reg papers

i know they will lie and come up with some excuse, but more importantly, expose them on the spot for being dodgy

Just a warning to the SAU Community from a private source. There is an R34 GT-R that's appeared online For Sale, with highly altered km's. Car has 145,000kms on it when looking at a Japanese listing:

I was in Sydney on the weekend and hadn't yet read this thread, long story short had a look at couple of private seller cars which I passed on. While in town had some time to kill so got on trusty ol

However,

The majority of the market on Parramatta Rd. trumps all over us in terms of marketing. They are in a central location and have been selling vehicles for years ! They utilise terms such as " Best Japanese Importer in Australia" to reassure the customer.

If I had a budget or some semi-decent marketing skills and support and more likes/shares on my Facebook Page ; I am sure this can be prevented. It just seems that the people that know about it feign ignorance to spreading it around unless asked.

Link is in post above yours. @ 1:23

His videos are hilarious...kind of a macabre fascination like watching a train wreck happening.

PS: Why do people who speak in middle eastern accents (Lebanese etc) sound like they are ripping you off when trying to sell you something...even though when sometimes they aren't. I have a few Lebanese friends , awesome people , but when they speak it sounds like they are about to rort you for everything you have

I agree. I always have a hearty chuckle when watching his videos. He has effectively tapped into a market thats for sure. There are many unsuspecting customers out there.

I'd really enjoy meeting up with Phil one day and talking p*nel g*ps...for the lelz.

"thing" is singular.

"things" is plural

Methinks it should be plural.

Even putting Jap snow tyres back on after a car is complied is plural x4 !!!!

:(

a mate had this happen to him on his s15.

What appears to be a very nice GTR on here.

A User on this forum was about to purchase this with half the Km's from a Dealership in Sydney

He won't be named but he will speak if he decides to.

      R34 Diff oil

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      By Duncan · Posted

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
