hope someone can help just purchased an r33 and it has two plates, blue and green, and a silver plate in the middle with the VIN

the numbers i have from the jap blue plate is ECR33-016380

hope thats enough info?

Correct information (as per my signature), but the VIN seems to be invalid. It would appear to be a series 1 (early ) number, but perhaps there is a digit incorrect there?

I changed the last digit (0) to an "8" incase that's the mixup, and it is a valid number.

Is that what the ".17" means on the end? Someone else asked this question earlier and I didn't have a good answer other than "it's not a regular GTR." =-o

The .17 means GT-R with 17 inch wheels aka Vspec.

The model number ends in ZN which is N1.

Stupidly rare car, has been auctioned in Japan twice in the last 6 months.

Ah yes, bigger wheels for sure... I get that now. N1 is the Nismo enhanced version, and we can deduce that it's a VSpecII because they were introduced in 1994?

Wiki:

To celebrate the success of the GT-R in both Group N and Group A racing, Nissan introduced the Skyline GT-R V-Spec ("Victory SPECification") car on February 3, 1993. The V-Spec added Brembo brakes and a retuned ATTESA E-TS system to the Nismo and N1 packages, as well as 17" BBS wheels with 225/45/17 tires. The V-Spec has a list price of ¥5,260,000.

Finally on February 14, 1994 the Skyline GT-R V-Spec II was released, with the only change being wider 245/45/17 tires. In addition, both the V-Spec and V-Spec II had a curb weight of 1,480 kg (3,256 lbs), weighing 50 kg (110 lbs) more than the standard GT-R.[11] Total production of the V-Spec I and II was 1,453 and 1,303 units respectively.

Oh wow... that *is* rare! haha!

Well, I don't want to tell you that it's fake VIN or a grey import or anything like that, but i've not come across any VIN that hasn't populated in the software.

The model should work but even that does not. I know there are 100 R32's that were locally delivered, but to my knowledge no R33's were ever locally delivered... so I would expect that as a Japanese R33, it should be in this Japanese database.

Could you take a picture of the plate?

hi,

I have registration papers with that 6E91 vin number, I have now taken photos of the vin from japan, and it definitely says ECR33, could it be the GTS4 it is the RB25DE engine and it is coupe and auto, it may be the GTS25, my main point is, does the vin plate says RB25DET if its turbo or does it just say RB25DE?

I am confused, I have all the paperwork, and the original owners 'National Warranty Company' booklet for victorians, as this car was bought in VIC and transferred through regency to SA, as i have the regency papers.

I just want to know if its a factory GTST or a GTS or GTS25 or what? different people are telling me, different things. if someone is able to email me privately i could send them the photos of the VIN and COMPLIANCE plates?

thanks

G'day mate could you check this vin it's meant to be a 1990 r32 gtr nismo gunmetal kh2 paint code

Vin: BNR32-100032

Model: KBNR32RXFSL RA

also if it's possible to find out If it had a/c and radio as I've been told that it was an option on the nismo

If it was originally a GTS4 (i.e it is 4wd) it would be ENR33. I tried them all this morning, and no combination would work.

F = CA18

H = RB20

E = RB25

B = RB26

C = Super HICAS

N = Atessa

R = Chassis

CHASSIS CODES

-ER -- GTS25

-HR -- GTS

-ECR -- GTS25t

-ENR -- GTS-4

-BCNR -- GTR

Yes, if it says ECR, it is a turbo chassis/engine. The brakes are different, the number of wheel studs are different... i'm sure there are many other differences. If you had a motor swap, and you have a DE (Dual overhead, EFI) then either the plate is wrong, or the motor was swapped out.

So... if your chassis was a turbo model you should have 5-stud wheels, a stronger gearbox (not sure how to tell, but it could be a manual-only thing), obviously you'd have no boost gauge in the dash. The side-mount intercooler would have plumbed through the engine bay via two holes infront of the air filter box. That should be very obvious.

Check those things? If the chassis has all non-turbo parts, I would *guess* there is something wrong with that plate. Strangely though, that plate doesn't belong to another chassis... it just doesn't exist. =-o

Let us know.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
