Hey guys I was bored so I decided to whip this up.

"Fast" is the name of Nissan's Database for finding part numbers for your car when you go to the dealership.

You can enter any Nissan Vehicle Vin number into fast and it will tell you the production month, date, paint code, inteior trim etc etc and all of the options your car came out with provided you have installed the appropriate libraries. They are generally broken up into Australasia/Japan/Europe and America.

For the protection of this forum I won't provide links to the Nissan Fast download however it is easily found using a search engine / torrent site.

Onto the good stuff.

  1. Once you have installed "Fast" (instructions come with download) open it and you are presened with the folowing window:

  2. Enter your vin number as shown:
    untitled1.jpg
  3. Hit enter or OK and you should be presented with a screen that looks a bit like this:
    untitled2.jpg
    As you can see this displays a whole heap of information about your car.
    Now lets search for some parts.
  4. Click here:
    untitled3.jpg
  5. And you should get this:
    untitled4.jpg
  6. After you've made your selection(s) hit ok and you'll make it to the group index:
    untitled5.jpg
  7. Pick the section you want (right-click to unselect if you need to) and hit OK to get this:
    untitled-3.jpg
  8. Now lets get our specific parts. If you click a part code once, it turns blue and you can see the description; click it again, and it turns red and adds one to your selection list. Keep selecting the parts (if you need) and previous selections appear in green.
    You can see in the above illustration theres is an option in the lower left corner to increase you're quantity. Now you can close this window and go back to the main FAST window. When you do, you will see that only the part code and description are listed for each item you've picked.
  9. Hit the p/no search button on the toolbar to get your full part number:
    untitled1-1.jpg
  10. Bingo! Take that number off to Nissan and Your set.
  11. Wait a few days And you get this!

Not sure if this is right thread to ask, but I thought I'd ask.

I've got FAST, which one of files for Skylines? (a1, a2, a3, b1, b2) and is there a thread on how to install on computer (yes I'm dumb).

Any help would be great.

Thanks

I did upload FAST to some web mirrors, but I don't know if they're still up (instructions in the link as well)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/VI...;gopid=4277147#

a1, a2, a3, b1 & b2 is all skylines (up to 2001 if you have the version everyone has)

Cheers for your help, might have to get my mate to attempt to install it for me (yes i'm really that dumb!!).

Back to the tutorial, very handy.

Cheers

Yeah it works great , i just want to ask ,if your looking for parts on a different model and you dont have a vin number what do you do then.

i.e i have a R34 GTT but im looking for BNR 34 parts also how can i do this ( i tried the parts master but i need numbers to input , i need to use fast so i can see image of part as well.

for those interested - I have the 2009 ADM disc here. I would like the USDM one if its out there. it would make looking up G35 stuff a LOT easier for me.

To search for parts without a VIN simply type the series your interested in into the 'Model Series' field (see first post above), then hit return and wait. After awhile you should see that the 8 (ie 2 rows of 4) buttons immediately below the model series/Prod.M/Y fields become available to select. If you click on each in turn you'll see that they are now drop-down boxes, which allow you to select the various broad model options available for that series. For example, one drop-down will show all the engines available for a particular model series; another will show transmission options and another will show 2DR/4DR type, etc, etc.

So in your case simply type in R34 to 'Model Series', press return, wait, then select RB26DETT engine, 2Dr, Hicas, etc, etc. You can then search for the parts as described above. Note that if Nissan made changes to parts within the model series (ie supercessions), when you eventually come to select the parts you are interested in, the FAST system will ask you to make a choice about the month and year of manufacture of R34. At that point you will have to make a bit of an educated guess about which way to jump, although the FAST system will also show you the supercessions.....if you know where to look.

Some other handy tricks.

If you're having no luck finding a part, in the main screen hit F7 which will bring up a description search box. You can only have one word in each box.

Also part codes and sections should stay the same between models. For instance, an air filter part number will almost always start with 16546 and be in section 165, not matter what vehicle. So if you're using it regularly this can be a faster way to find what you need.

bit of a dead thread, but the versions i can get my hands on seem to have the aus and nz models missing, its the same with alot of the other parts interpreters that i use and i know you don't need it as our stuff is imported but it would be good to be able to do aussie cars too.

anyone know where i can get them?

I am not sure being an old thread if I will get a response, but I am chasing the part number for a BOV gasket and the bulb holder in the A/C unit.

Two photos of the bulb holder attached.

Thanks in advance.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
