Ah that's weird...definately what's stamped on my car. Hmm...thanks anyway mate :)

Grab a quick snapshot of your car's blue underhood plate if poss... will try to decipher what's up..

I tried running the ECR32 015378 but it wouldn't return the info

Unfortunately for some unknown reason, my car doesn't have the original blue VIN plate. Instead, it has the Aus compliance plate in the place where the blue one would be. The only thing that would link my car back to Japan would be the id above and that came up as inconclusive in the FAST program :)

the vin should still be stamped intothe firewall above the motor, not on a plate

As what Duncan said, you should still have the number...

Either case perhaps the Aussie compliance plate they might have mistyped the original vin...

So FAST doesn't like Australian built R31's or is there another number I can get off the car?

Well if you can find a number on the car in the format:

HCR32 - 0023521

modelcode - serialnumber

...

But it's probably not in the FAST system... anyone else know about these Aussie versions?

A couple of things to clarify

What's the S mean?, i did some research and i think it means sedan = 4 door is that right?

Also is it a L20E or L20ET? cause L20T doesn't exist.

Or if anyone could help me find spec details of a R30 GTX would be helpful.

Thanks

This is what's stamped on the firewall, above the motor. I thought that this was the original VIN number? Unless I'm an idiot and should be looking for something else haha! Apologies for the poor photo...took a few attempts to get a good shot

the number format looks correct, but this is what FAST (at least my copy) says:

not sure looking through the FAST OPTION CODE LIST now but don't know the year/month for the car so hard to tell which sheet...

What year/Month is it?

Also most of the options are in Japanese text so probably won't be much help...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
