Yeh its not that easy because there are sooo many different options. Your particular car has the following:

Character 12 for your VIN is 'D' and I'm not sure of its significance. On 33's this character can be either D or Z

Character 13 for your VIN is 'A' and again I'm not sure of its significance. Appears to be on all 33's

Characters 14-18 relate to options available for your car.

Char 14 relates to Super Hard Coat (S.H.C) (basically an optional paint protection)

Char 15 relates to a rear wiper

Char 16 relates to different trim and type M and 40th Anniversary

Char 17 relates to remote central locking

Char 18 relates to Viscous LSD + ABS 40th anniversary stitching on seats

This is a very rough translation, so if anyone wants to double-check me please do so!! :)

ta muchly. ok i've just read this whole frickin thread (yes im an idiot) and have managed to figure out most of my model no. as follows

G = 2 Door coupe

GK = RB25DET

B = 2WD

R = ??

T = GTS25t (type M)

A = Auto

R33 = R33

V = Turbo

D = ??

A = ??

- = ??

U = ??

- = ??

- = ??

- = ??

does any one know what the last 7 digits stand for?

Character 12 for your VIN is 'D' and I'm not sure of its significance. On 33's this character can be either D or Z

Character 13 for your VIN is 'A' and again I'm not sure of its significance. Appears to be on all 33's

Characters 14-18 relate to options available for your car. Where there is a dash (ie -), this means no option was selected for your car.

If you post up your ECR33 number I can have a look at your options page and translation for ‘U’ can be attempted. :)

EDIT: I just read further up and I spotted your ECR33 number (d'oh to me)...I'll check it out when I get home :P

OK Basti, here's a screen shot of your options page :huh:

As you can see there is no text for characters 14, 16, 17 or 18, which matches with the dashes (ie -) in my above post.

Character 15 makes references to a rear wiper, different rear spoiler (not 100% but could relate to the S2 spoiler, as yours is a 1.5??) and aeroform bumper.

Anyone want to double-check the translation please?

Char 14 relates to Super Hard Coat (S.H.C) (basically an optional paint protection)

Char 16 relates to different trim and type M and 40th Anniversary

I just had the text translated by someone who has no idea about cars and this is what he came up with.

14. Super Hard Coat

15. Rear wiper

16. Trunk Lid Rim + Type M 40th Anniversary

17. Remote Controlled Entry

18. Viscous LSD + ABS + Two Special 40th Anniversary Seats

So i guess you were pretty spot on with your translation :P

Have you got any Japanese interpretation of characters 12 & 13 from FAST, so I can get that translated as well?

Characters 12 and 13 appear in "kanji" so more difficult to interpret. Refer screen shot below (which is your VIN):

I have been able to work out what character 12 is though. 'D' means "domestic", so I'm assuming 'Z' is also domestic, but more specific due to the info contained within the brackets. This could even be a local dialect, but I'm not sure.

I have not been able to work out character 13. If your contact can translate, please let us know what it means :(

Thanks SMR33, how can i confirm from the info you gave me that the car is a Vspec II? Im sure there must be some way? other then obvious things like the brembos, etc...

Sorry if this has been covered through out this thread... i havent read it all.

This is what they came back with:

国内 【こくない】 (n) internal, domestic, (P)

寒冷地 【かんれいち】 (n) cold (northern) district

標準 【ひょうじゅん】 (n) standard, level, (P)

Hey,

Any one of you could look at this vin number for me? With all details, I'd like to know ASAP.

ECR33104817

Thanks in advance

Grant

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
