How To Tell The Difference


Recommended Posts

Hey Guy's,

i have a R32 GTST, but i am unsure on what year it actualy is, guy who sold it said 91, rego says 90 and insurance says 93.

I read while back you could tell my the plaque on the firewall depending on what letter was on the end of the sequence.

Does anyone know how i can identify the year?

Cheers

Cameron

The date on the blue plate on the firewall say 1998 and the compliance plate doesnt have a date on it :S

Hahaha.. the 1998 on the blue plate refers to the displacement of the engine :P

When I got my insurance (3rd party fire/theft) I told them bout exhaust etc, which they said doesn't make much of a difference. They said the fact that its 93 increases the premium...cause i had got a quote b4 i bought the car, i used a 1991 r32 gts-t with basic mods just to get an idea and it was a fair bit cheaper than my actual quote for the real car.

But on the flipside your 93 car is now worth more than a 91 car, and would be insured for more money too, probably a grand or so more.

On the third flipside if you lied about your car they might just refuse to cover you all together :(

    • Been poking around on the new to me car. I've determined that I have a Kakimoto exhaust from at least the downpipe back (I haven't confirmed the downpipe yet). It has a catalytic converter. Other than the company branding on the exhaust tip, I can only find one other marking. Behind the cat and under the car is a plate that has the numbers "NF307FP" and "M11111". Unfortunately, the Kakimoto website is written in Japanese and my browser won't translate it. I found that Nengun sells the brand, but my exhaust doesn't look like their current offering. They do indicate that each pipe is custom made, but I assume that's more of an inventory control thing than some sort of special, vehicle specific tuning. Anyone have a guess about what I have here? I'm getting ready to throw some dollars at tuning this car, but want to make good decisions. No reason to throw out a perfectly good exhaust system, if this thing will equal a full custom build.
    • Congrats on the progress. That's got to feel good to get the build done/mostly done. Now that you're this deep into it, I'm curious if you'd do it again versus finding a 5MT from the get go?
    • G.G.C. (Gibier German Cook) restaurant in Motomachi in Kobe: A tiny 2 floor restaurant that was founded in 1976. The original couple who owned/ran it retired and sold the business to a corporation who pretty much tried to keep it the same as it was.  Lots of lesser known (to me anyway) German beers available.  Venison with vegetables. The meat came from deer from Hokkaido. The chef told us that there's a whole industry around the use of all parts of the deer from the antlers to the hooves. Sure enough, directly accross the street from this restaurant is a shop that sells all manner of utensils, clothes and objet d'art all made from deer skin, bones and horns.... also owned by the same corporation. The venison was super tender 😋 Various decorations, a lot of which were quite old, no doubt from the original owners. A nice pilsner too which I'd never seen before.  It's well worth a visit but check the opening hours, they're closed on Wednesdays, only open 11:30am - 3pm on Mondays and Tuedays, 11:30am-3pm for lunch and 5pm-11:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 11:30am-3pm and 5pm-9pm on Sundays. Last order is 30mins before close.
    • Yep around 2m long or thereabouts.  I made another post in the photo diaries 17 years later lol. I swear it has not been that long!
