I know that thread exists but it takes forever for a response, I needed the quick check as I've already put down a deposit for a certain skyline however that is the Vin No. (Doesn't look like an R33 to me!) Very odd, also the car isn't registered in the sellers name so something fishy is going on......

i google'd around a little bit and found this site https://www.checkitout.com.au/index.php for checking the origins of VIN#

entering that VIN# shows this:

Make NISSAN

Model UNKNWN

Body Type SEDN

Colour GRY

also found a few V8 Sc400 soarers with similar vins?

At least that checkitout site reckons its a nissan, so its probably fine

Im still undecided on what to do, my deposit isn't valid for long though and am still worried about the seller not having the car registered to him (not the "rightfull owner")

Thats the 'aussie' RTA VIN from the rego papers, to FAST the 'jap' VIN you need the VIN number from the blue plate in the engine bay. Should be on the drivers side against the firewall.

Whats the reason its not in his name, did he tell you? If youre determined this is the car you want, try and get some answers on the ownership front before handing money over. Someone in another thread had their car taken off them for being stolen when it wasnt, so best be safe!

you should go to this website https://bizline.docep.wa.gov.au/revs/public...ch.cfm?search=1

you will need the registration number, the VIN number and the engine number.

sometimes you might not get a match because one number or letter will be incorrect and you may need to call the department of consumer and employment protection on 08 9282 0410 and ask to be put through to REVS checking.

they can see more information than you can and will be able to let you know.

also - to cover yourself you can purchase a certificate to show your car is legally purchased etc and is not owing finance / belonging to another owner.

i would highly reccommend this service - a little effort can make a huge difference.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
