Ladies and gents,

I am trying to establish the month of manufacture of my car (Skyline GTS25t sedan). But all I can find is 1997 with no month. Neither RTA papers nore compliance plates have the month. It is rather strange. It'd be great if anybody could help me to find the month. My mechanic needed it for the Pink Slip but I think he gave up and made it up cause he told me not to worry.

Cheers

Homer

Only place I've found manufacturing date was on the rubber lines running from the brake master cyl. These are stamped, the last digits being that date.

From memory mine had the month of manufacture as well (Sept. 93 seems to ring a bell), but I can't remember if the month was there or if I picked that up somewhere else!

Hope it helps...

Mine has the month / year on the seatbelt label [near bottom] but is a 34, i guess yours should have something similar...

then of course the seatbelts may not be the original ones but most likely they are... :confused:

hmmm,

The guys I bought them from, told me (just came up in the conversation) that they had to change all seatbelts, that is to buy them from Nissan Australia for bucketloads of money. It had to be done to comply the car. It had nothing to do with price negotiations, we were just talking at the time.

So I assume that labels on my seatbelts would be new. I'll take a look anyway, who knows.

Thanks guys, much appriciate all replies.

Cheers

Yepp, factory seatbelts should have been changed when the compliancing was done.

Like said above - have a look at the vacum hose going to the brake booster. It'll have the date stamped on it, just keep in mind that it may have been a month or two between when the hose was made to being fitted on the car and the car being rolled out the doors.

I recently saw a 1994 GTS-t that had a date of 25th November 1993 stamped on the hose.

Mine has 28th September 1995 stamped on it, so I'm guessing that my car was one of the last series 1's made.......

In attempt to clarify the "seatbelt" issue I recently came across this info from an importers website [http://www.upimports.com.au]

"Seatbelts

- All seatbelts and buckles replaced with ADR approved belts. Post 1996 vehicles fitted with genuine belts."

This would explain my car having factory belts, me is happy now :mad:

And anyone with post 96 vehicles will be able to easily find out there month/year of manufacture from the seatbelt tag!

Cheers.

well unfortunately [for me] mine are the original ones from memory - will double check though.

What a load of crap though - so the ADR states that the factory belts are good enough, but make them put new ones in - just to piss people off!

That would be the part of the local "big 4" involvment I guess...:)

What we are told is that compliance of used cars under the old CPA scheme was seen as being a "re-manufacture" rather than modification, therefore the car should have brand new seatbelts, tyres, wiper blades, etc..

Under the new SEVS scheme it has been accepted that cars are simply being modified to suit ADR's and there is the ability to keep some parts on the car as long as they are in good condition and suitable ... eg. seatblets on some models, tyres if they are DOT approved, cat converters on low km's cars, etc..

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
