i got a 97 done 50 kms, thought it may have been overclocked. maybe it was parked in the shed for 5 years.... hmmm

nope, common practice for imports to have their clocks wound back before they get to us aussie owners.

also remember a lot less driving is done in Japan as opposed to Australia.... where as a 97 car in australia would more likely have done 140+

and sometimes its often the dealers here who wind back the clocks, as opposed to the agents in japan. the dealers here can do it, as there is no proof of service records etc, they cant get caught.

if you bought yours from an auction in japan, you should find the kms are more realistic.

You can't really wind back the KM on digital, cause it can be only set back to 0000000. So if you see an import with extremely low KM but its not a late year, & its a digital KM, then u know what it mean.
