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...

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
