This is awful.

Still confused how this particular dealer has managed to get away with this for so long?

Maybe people like painted chassis rails and odo's which dont align with the wear and tear presented on the vehicle?

Holy SHEIIITTT,

Ash you saved me from a big headache, i was gonna go put a deposit on this thing -.-

really intrested in a GT-R but i dont know if i should blow 50-60 G's and end up with a lemon.

this was a wake up call lol

Holy crap... Keen eye there Nismoid and quick thinking.

I'm agreeing with Ricky, photos are clearly photoshopped. Wish there was legal power around this type of behaviour - especially if the car is no longer what it was in Japan.

Funny how the exporter has a Facebook page and this car is on it.

Join his page he's a decent guy and this should not reflect upon him at all, he sells the cars with genuine k's as you can see by his webpage.

The blame is all to do with the Aussie importer who is the shonk.

Again this type of crap devalues the actual price of the good cars in the market.

We work on plenty of great cars and see how much their owners love their cars but we also see guys coming in saying "my car has 48k's on her and one owner", we do not have the heart to tell them the cars are crap.

I personally hate the industry now as it is.

The Japanese Exporter, FCAutosource advertised the car warts and all - Danny from FC is a top guy and straight shooter. As SecretR33GTR said, this should in no way reflect poorly on him. What shonky dealers do after they've bought the car is out of his control.

The annoying thing is - this is the kind of car I get pointed to when someone enquires about importing a BNR34 with me and I give them an honest and frank price range to expect. "but I can get one already here cheaper". It's like shopping for a peach and being stoked to pick up a lemon for half the price.

The car on the All Imports is a completely different.

For starters it is; Midnight purple 2 not 3.

What started this discussion was the same photos used on the website from japan and then All Imports.

When this thread was posted, the photos had already been changed to the current photos you see.

And then to follow on from that, the carsales ad which I saw first and it is even cheaper than all imports website:

http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/nissan-skyline-2000-13645720?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=16&page=2&eapi=2&__N=1246+1247+1252+1282+4294963846+4294963593+1216&num=15&silo=Stock&Range=Price:40000,50000~0.5&sort=default

Regardless, apparently the car isn't in Australia yet and also, the link above says a deposit has already been taken... should be interesting.

I know of a person (an SAU member) who complained to Fair Trading about other cars they had, the person presented auction sheets, printouts from the AllImports system and what happened ? Zero.

Fair tradings attitude is this - if it happened in Japan it is buyer beware but if it happens here they will prosecute.

It is almost impossible to prove where it is done as k's are not recorded on any offical documents at the wharfs and unless you have an original dereg from Japan you are not going to find it easy. There are ways of getting the last registration papers from Japan but unless you are 95% you want the car the cost of those papers can add up very quickly.

A quick note - a GTR we just did for a forum member came in 2 weeks ago and it had a different looking dereg form, looks like they have updated the appearance.

The car was less than 2 years old - personal import job.

As Import Monster and all decent importers will tell you - the cars are running out in Japan. There were only so many built of the models we can import and finding a great car at a good price is becoming very difficult. Remember the Japanese love their GTR's as much as we do.

If you ever take a trip to Japan you will be extremely lucky to see a R32, R33 or even R34 GTR running around in the cities.

Carsales ad doesn't even have the right VIN etc - so just ensuring people can't search via that and find out either.

I truly feel sorry for someone that would put a deposit down at "50k" or there abouts, when the car is worth 35k tops.

I'd say you could push it on grounds of dishonesty and false advertising.

CllcrDealer deserves a visit from the police. But why are people calling this car a lemon ? Have you driven it ? KM dont mean anything its how the car is used eg low km track whore or high km highway cruiser.

Y not a visit from us, put up a protest for a weekend, stand out the front with signs about odo tampering SAU to the rescue i say, if anyone knows the guy that has put the deposit down get him to pull out of it unless the car is mint.

I got stung like this when i got my GTR, bought it private had a nismo cluster with 34,000km on later inspection after i blew the engine the week i bought it, and now the turbos the week i get it back after the run in, that A, KM are not legit no way a car with 34,000km will do a bottom end under light/medium load and then blow turbo seals out and spit oil through my intake.

On the bright side, i now have a Built 34 GTR, rated to around 800HP that im about to strap a set of -9's onto :woot:

I dont know if the previous owner knew about any issues with it or not but the car was imported in 2009 by auto style performance in sydney so i suspec that they have doctord it and also coverd up a fender bender on the drivers side. I also called them asking for details about when it was imported wanting auction papers and such for my reccords, they claimed that the business owners changed so they didnt have any papers from cars before they took over.

I've been looking to purchase a R34 GTR for the past few months...

I look at the jap auctions on a daily basis and when I saw this R34 GTR on carsales, the car looked familiar because of the rare color.

Its an auction grade 3.5C and was sold for 2,145,000 JPY / 25,976.25 AUD at the auctions.

I do hope the person who put the deposit down sees this thread as he deserves to know!

The dealership has also removed the carsales pics, maybe they have seen this thread?

Anyway here is the auction sheet and pics...

BAM! GZILAH you are my new favourite person :D

If anyone wants to remove all doubt, when it comes time to view the car at the dealer, the vin is BNR34-006724 - the new Australian one should just be 6U9000BNR34006724

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
