Hi.
I'm from Sweden and are new here on this forum.
I have bought an 350z that has been imported from USA.
I'm looking for the history of this car and it would be real nice if someone could help me.
All the documentation from the car has disapered on the way here.
The vin numer is JN1AZ34D33T111298.
Please contact me if you know anything aboute this car.
My email is patrik@tcl.nu
Thanks...

 

Welcome. If you are talking about history, you can get that yourself at carfax. If you are referring to missing title, registration and bill of sale, I haven't the faintest.

 

The thing i want to find out is if the milage is original.
There is no service-book in the car.
I think that the car is imported to sweden as "crashed or damaged"
They take the motor out and put it in another container.
Then they don't have to pay taxes on it in sweden.
Is it posible to find out on a nissan serviceplace if the car had
any service. milage and when they did it.

Ask NISSAN to run the VIN for you. NISSAN may have a record of service bulletins and other maintenance completed.

 

Thats my old car. Thanks

 

Can you please tell me what has hapend to the car.

Champ, you need to order a Carfax report. Go here & sign up:

http://www.carfax.com/

It will not give you a complete history but will report all events recorded in public records plus repairs by shops who report to Carfax. (Not all shops participate with Carfax.)

 

Have ordered that and there is a salvage title on the car.
But the car is usable.

 

I have foundout that the car has been exported to Lithuania 12/04/2003
The car got exported to Sweden 23/11/2005
I hopes that the first owner can e-mail me and tell me why the car got the salvagetitle.

Shouldn't you try to find this out before buying a dodgy import car????

 

Maybe i should had, but i inspected the car and the car is okey.
I didn't ether know how to check a car in USA as i know now.
So there is something good coming out of it.
Just looking for this course they may could have changed the id numer or something on the car.
The car has what i can see not been so smashed that it's not usable.
this confuses me alittle.

 

The history would be of little help. It is almoust 100% that the car was Salvage titled in the USA, prior to export.
This per se is not the problem, you just have to check the car very very carefully.
You would be surprised to see the wonders that Lithuanian mechanics create out of unrepairable cars. It is a major industry here.
Definitely check the car on the lift and use a strong flashlight. Also, go to the mechanic that you trust and check wheel allignment. Z front suspension has no adjustment for camber and caster, hence any deviation from the norm would be indication of a bad geometry as a result of the crash. Check the welding on all suspension mounts, since rewelding these is used to "correct" the unrepairable frame.
In respect of the docs. It is not unusual to loose the docs when exporting/importing. What you should check whether you will be able to register the car in Sweden. Many countries have special rules for US imports.
I hope this helps.
