hi everyone

some of you might be familier with this topic http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/bu....html&st=20 posted quite a few years ago...and still very helpfull.....basicily it talks about what you should do when you are looking to buy a skyline

anyway one of the points says "The BLUE Nissan Build Plate should have the details PRINTED on it... i.e. If you run your fingers over the details printed on it, it should be smooth. IT SHOULD NOT BE ENGRAVED... If it's engraved, it has a fake Nissan Build Plate with a fake Chassis Number. These are forged and put on stolen cars with a new and legitimate chassis number. "

i checked mine...i have the plastic rivit things...and i ran my fingure over it and its engraved!!!...i pretty sure my car isnt a rebuilld....its been through the works on the legal side...also i got it from edward lees imports dealership...i jsut want other r34 owners to go and check ther blue plates...run ur fingure over it...and please tell me that its slightly engraved!!!

another guy posted a reply on the second page of that topic i linked above and said that he went to a dealership and check 3 other r32's and they all had engraved plates....and asked wether the smooth thing applied only to the r33's....and no one answerd him :S

so now im freaking out:P and i wants some closure!! Help me R34 owners.....unfortunaly i dont have a handfull of r34's lieing around so i cant go and check hehe

Mines a 98 model and yes i don't believe it had 45000km on it when i 1st bought it. Steering wheel and gear knob was very warn.

I've come to live with the fact that any skylines imported from japan does not have genuine KM's, like maybe some do if you can monitor the whole thing from start to finish.

I still need to check my timing belt which is supposedly done at 100 000KM's, i just gotta wait until i reach 100 000kms

I mentioned it cos they normally interrelate and that its something to look out for.

In your case well need more replies from non turbo's.

Hang in there mate just gotta wait for the replies

yea i know...i need to chillax a bit...breath and all that jazz...i just love my car so much <3...atleast i can be thankfull that it works great....and it looks like its 2 years old....

Yea it did man..and we both checked in...me and the guy above ur post....it all matched up thankfully

Just to confirm: yes it all lines up. :thumbsup:

But I like a few others here I also have my suspicions about the build plate not being laminated.

i pm'd the guy that 1st asked about the blue plate being engraved and if it only applied to the r33(hes located on the second page of the thread link i posted in my 1st post)....and he said it that the engraved blue plates that are supposed to be fake only applies to the r33's......soo what is now confusing me even more....didnt know it cud get any more confused.....is that i have r33's telling me that ther plates are engraved.....which is supposably the fake ones...and then i have r34's telling me they have smooth ones…..when the engraved things shudnt apply!! and also i have 2 ppl including myself who have r34's with engraved.......

whats going on!!!

i hope someone can read this and shed some light...or just more ppl checking ther blue plates so we can start getting some consistencies

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
