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...

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
