Ive read Merli's what to look for, but just want to confirm the build plate, According to his post the Nissan Blue Build plate should be printed (i.e. smooth) not engraved, otherwise it is considered re-birthed, is this true for all R33 series I & II? i mainly looked at series II and from memory all of them were not smooth, i had a look at three series I and found only one to be smooth. Out of the 15 or so that i have looked at, only found two too be have a smooth build plate, does that the other sklyines have all been re-birthed?

Id like to find out about this too. My car has an engraved plate but it has the plastic rivets. The VIN on the blue plate also matches up with the one engraved on the body of the car too. Does having an engraved plate always mean the car has been rebirthed?

I cant find any other source on the internet (apart from what Merli has said) which confirms that an engraved plate means rebirthed....

Yeah i have also looked, is there anyway you check the VIN in Japan, is anyone able to do that, or has done that and how did you go about it?

is it not also engraved in the chassis above the engine in the middle of the firewall?

From memory the only thing that should be embossed/engraved in the chassis metal is the chassis number not the actual vin number. The vin number should be given on the compliance plate. I might be wrong but I thought that alot of the older imports don't have vins embossed in the chassis metal...

I'd say you've got an extremely low chance of purchasing a rebirthed skyline unless its painted pink/purple/yellow and has big chrome wheels on it.....

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
