No, its fine if its through auction (no debt owed on the car etc etc)... you should be able to tell fairly well if its still ok, you can start them etc at auction but not drive.

other then been given a hard time whilst stolen the car should usually be fine.

We baught a deawoo lanos from the auctions before for me to learn in before i got the r33, and we only found out when we went to rego it that it was stolen/recovered and it was 100% perfect:S

Hope this helps

Just make sure it has no outstanding debts (such as car loans etc) you'll probably do this on all cars you buy, its a revs check.

As long as its complied, everything is their, nothing should be a problem. in the ACT you have to go for an ID check (to make sure its not rebirthed).

Insurance is just the same as any other car you buy... its really no different, someones car was stolen, then they found it and repaired any damages if it had any and gave it back...

i have heard of some problems with this, just make sure the cops are finished with this, i have had someone buy a s6 rx7 from the auctions all in good faith, the cops then came and repoed it again, he had to fight it in court to keep his car.

there is a certificate you can get, costs like $10-$30 and it just secures you in writing, and protects you if they ever come to repo it...

Thats called a rev's check which i what i said you need to check...

Here in canberra at pickles auctions they guarantee that the car has no outstanding finanace... so i cant possibly see how the cops could come a repo it when it has no outstanding finance on it specially when its been handed back to the insurance company, and then to the action squad, then to you.

Just be careful, thats all.. the same as you would with any other car.

Goodluck.

I got a certificate of registered interests on my car which protects you if financers come to your door to collect the car, as a verbal phone check from vic roads isnt enough. it cost 8 bucks

thats the 1 i was talkin bout :P

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
