Firstly you dont say how many klm's are supposed to be on it. I would never pay much attention to klm's on an import but would judge the car more by the overall condition, how much you have to pay for it, what year model it is, if it is raws,sevs or 15 year old mod plate compliance, what if any mods are on the car these are all factors to consider and no offence but the pics you have posted are not the best quality so is difficult to asses the condition of the car. answer these questions and it will be a lot easier to give you an opinion.

I seen this car before...
1990 model - 68,655km, comes with:

12 months rego with RWC
Full service history in japan
HKS hipermax suspension
HKS oil filter relocation kit
HKS oil cooler
Alpine CD stacker & Apline monitor in the car
N1 front bar & bonnet extension.

Seems alright to me. Come with an alarm?
If your having trouble deciding then get a mate with knowledge or pay a workshop to have a good look at it.
Best of luck mate

And after you look at it (with your suspicious eyes & ears) & if you're still interested, my wife can read Japanese so if the auction papers are available,
I can give you a translation.

Also look at the logs (if available), scan the service entries (yes, in Japanese) and PM me with those too, so you can get back to the Service Technicians in Japan with more Qs.

PM me with your E-mail address too eh?

Regards,
Terry

^^LOL! Yeah man its a genuine GTR.

Its even got red R34 GTR rocker covers on it so it looks even better.

Going from what bluey33 said, its sound pretty good.

1990 model with 68,655 km = Driven 3814 km per year (Approx). So it done hardly any K's

BUT if you get the chance to go look at the car, have a listen to it when it switched on and check EVERYTHING. Take a mechanic with you.

Genuine GTR yes, As for as the quality of it, I don't think anyone here can tell you to buy it.
Has some positives,
low kms
service history
looks clean
plenum not flaking
couple nice modifications

As said above get someone with great knowledge of these cars to have a look.
And Listen to the car both on a cold start and warm start.
And also check everything as (OO)SKYLINE(OO) said, and we mean everything.
This could also worry the seller and you may get some body language to show he is nervous and worried about you finding something.

looks like stretched tyres - drift look. Wonder if its been drifted. I know tyres don't say that but it is one negative on my books.
Also sunroof isn't factory so will want to hope it doesn't leak.

Noone is going to be able to help you out much at all as we are only judging by pics...
"Oh thats clean" is no where near good enough advice to buy a car.

Best off going ahead of it yourself or getting someone local to you to have a look at these cars.
If you are buying one from japan then it isn't all a guessing game but you need to find a broker you can trust (if there is one) tongue.gif

Didnt know you could get a factory sunroof on a GTR, also if it was you would think it would have a rolled edge.. the photo make it look like it has a thick rubber mould around it. Factory roofs seem to be a bit more flush looking.. I could be wrong though!!!

I have never seen a GTR with a sunroof. I could be wrong but I have never seen one and been told by several people that they don't come with factory sunroofs.

Congrats mate, very nice.

Just a note of caution, don't pin your hopes on those time frames. I got really exited last time i imported cause was told similar, but transport went from 4 weeks to 8, and compliance from 2 weeks to 4.

But, on the positive side - hanging for it to get here makes it more enjoyable when you finally driver her away :-)

Will a cut in aftermarket sunroof affect compliance by any chance?
