Was working on the car this weekend and cant believe i didnt spot this before I bought my car. Its a sticker on the top of the engine. Im assuming it details the date and mileage of when the cam belt was last changed.

It was half torn off but its still legible. It is in Japanese but the numbers read:

13 7 11

97442

I cant explain the 13,7,11 bit but the 97442 sure does seem to suggest my car has done well over the 72000 kms on the clock.

Any suggestions what the other numbers mean?

Those numbers are the date, the Japanese have a different counter for years to us which is why it doesn't resemble a date really!! I think its 11 July but I could be wrong.

My b/f bought his 32 GTR with 56,000 on the clock but there was a sticker on the battery saying it had been replaced at 99,000kms. Its inevitable, they've all been wound back!!

My odometer stopped at 59,999kms a few months ago. My b/f pulled it out, fiddled around with it and its worked ever since...no idea!!

Dave this is how i knew:

Bought my car in private sale in Perth August 02 with 75,000Kms on clock

3 months later it was going in to have its timing belts changed so i decided that while i was bored in peak hour traffic i would pull off the old Castrol service sticker which looked like it was blank.

After i pulled it off i shined it in the light and u could see an imprint of what it used to say - next service Aug 02 or at 104,000Kms. Why someone wind them back in perth i dont know - maybe it was orignally bought from some dodgy import dealer in perth because theres rumours that some do that.

Anyway i have a bit of an accurate knowledge now of what the cars actually done.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
