I've been a happy customer of Xtreme Motorsport because there was absolutely no proof that my...

had been wound back. :P

I was so happy, I went back and bought...

Srsly, this thread is all innuendo. Without proof on either side, it'll go nowhere.

We are still here guys.

That car is genuine and I personally guarantee that it didnt have 184,000kms.

Its good to see that we have 1 post wonders on here and keyboard warriors from other dealers still trying to shut down the legitimate dealers.

This car has full service history, log books and De Reg Certificate and funny enough we just took a deposit on it pending finance.

I suppose the service history and Japanese De-Reg certificate is not enough proof? Lol...:)

A BIG THANK YOU to those that support us.

This is going to be a long post - so strap in folks.

Do you homework friends !

DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK - AND DO IT PROPERLY, NOT A HALF-ASS JOB - FOOL.

KayneX - Why would anyone want to do re-badged odometer checks via your link - a website tainted with hypocrisy? Go direct to the source to use this genuinely fantastic service.

Ok - now down to business:

1) let's take a look at this Evo 7 - recently up on carsales.com.au (http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Mitsubishi-Lancer-2001/AGC-AD-14170113/?Cr=13&sdmvc=1)

The car has become 'not available' - hopefully not sold! Fortunately I have a screenshot of the ad as it was on Saturday 10th August (click to view full size):

Note the VIN number - it ends in 3809. You can find the same car here on the dealer website - note that the complete VIN is not posted on this website but the last 4 digits are. Website says 62,160kms

2 - let's see if we can confirm a mode of operation - last 4 digits of the VIN are always accurately represented on the dealer website. Check the blue Stagline - very unique, last 4 digits of VIN = 1286, website says 107,084kms

3 - One more before the clincher - white E51 Elgrand - VIN ends in 9204, website says 80,513kms:

So we have established a clear mode of operation - now for the original vehicle and subject of this thread - VIN ends with: 7066, website says 84,702kms

Someone seems pretty confident their de-reg certs will back them - how is this possible? At a guess I would refer to this post: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/430241-hyprocrisys-a-bitch-aint-it-the-truth-about-kilometers/?p=6973008

That car is genuine and I personally guarantee that it didnt have 184,000kms.

100% agree on the 184,000kms but we need to define "genuine".

PS. of course I have screenshots of the dealer website.

We are living in the digital age, so to all the importers reading this - it is way too easy for your actions to be backtraced now.

Either start advertising your cars for exactly what they are, or I am sure this will continue to happen!!!!

And immaculate or very clean aren't terms that should be used for an R grade sh*t bucket from Japan.

Facepalm,

Then please explain the information montage dodgyimports just dropped...?

At some point this needs to stop being nothing more than a bunch of forum threads, and move to the prosecution of those who routinely and systematically engage in this fraudulent activity. It's even more ridiculous when it stops being a odometer haircut on an otherwise reasonable car, and moves to accident grade examples with forged service histories and dereg certificates.

Anyway, this looks like another rubbish accident grade example tarted up and flogged off as "very clean". Hopefully Joe from Xtreme Motorsports can come and clear up what must be just a misunderstanding...

Gotta love the internet and SAU..good read indeed!

Thanks to the guys "dodgyimports" for going out of their way to name and shame the offenders and protect the community

You'd have to say that buying through one of the services such as Iron Chef, JLM, Prestige, J Spec etc would have to be safer AND cheaper than buying from a dealer in Aus. That way you'll see the genuine auction sheet pre purchase as well as receive the dereg etc.

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
