Year and Month of manufacture on 15 year cars.


Recommended Posts

the facts as I can see it is caveat emptor (let the buyer beware)

most of the people who ahve bought these cars have only done so on the advice of so called brokers. the rules had to change because of the amount of stuff that was being spammed out to every one with these low balling prices I cant wait till some of the people actually get some of the cars here and have to get them on the road especially in victoria Where i am.

I'm just upset I cant bring a laurel in for a while :D but I will get one. my hope is that the rules dont change and only allow stock cars not the modded ones.

cheers

Me be happy - my GTR that I imported 1 year ago from Japan is still worth what it cost me.

Now the zaust, PFC, boost kit, brake pads, repairs for a spin off at Collie, suspension.................., that's a different matter!

Finding the VIN numbers will be the key to 15 year imports a friend who is a buyier in Japan for some of the big players has nearly finished his collection of VIN numbers on all cars upto 20 years old that come into this country.

I have been sent a link to a car in free storage over in Japan and the only thing in short supply is bricks.

I would ask for info on my car if I had one sitting in Japan.

That looks like a Celsior, not much of a "Prestige" car now is it, I wonder whom is going to pay for the missing rims, smashed side skirts and window and god knows whats been ripped of from inside? the owner has still got to wait 8-12 months to import it. I would not be happy to leave it with no window for that long, it snows in Japan !!!!

That,s scarry stuff,

Rumor has it that there are 6x GTR32,s in much worse shape!!!!! if I had one over there I would be DEMANDING a up-to date photo and condition report ASAP... I dont know what supplier has these vehicles in Japan but I would not like to be one of his clients when there vehicles arrive.... might get messy!!!!

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
