Ill check mine tonight. So bascially you guys are saying if the numbers are engraved its reason to be abit sus.

Its funny because I generally like a nice neat, engraved plate. I hate the stickers you know get for compliance etc. From memory I think mines engraved, but has been fasted and everything lines up fine, right down to the factory options it came with.

interesting...

However I will confirm once I get home from work tonight

Sort of related......... There is a website called japanodometercheck.com havent been brave enough to look yet but its a site where u can pay a fee ($60 for one off queery, or $200 for an account for as many as u want) then provide your vin/chassis number. The japanese auction house data bases will be searched on your behalf and the cars actual mileage at auction reported back to you?

Anyone used it?

BTW My Stag has r34 and plate is just barely feelably engraved.?

ok r33s should have smooth plates and r34s should have engraved plates is what i have heard..

i like this guy...he gives a straight foward answer..even if he is mistaken....anyone heard anything else like this??

i just got pm'd from a guy that has a r34 and his plate is thinnly engraved like mine....i asked him if his car is non turbo or turbo....because thats what i have narrowed down the diffrence 2...hopefully this will answer some questions...i have also pm's some other ppl who have rb25de's and ill post up what they say....so far i have had r34 gtt's telling me they have smooth..and i have r33's telling me they have engraved...

Yea dude thats what it looks like. Atm we have the r34 gtt's with smooth blue plates and the r34 gt's (rb25de engines) with the engraved......this is good....if any more r34 gtt's and r34 gt's can confirm this it would be great....

just check my r34 (gtfour na), its lightly engraved.

The plate itself is so finely engraved i doubt any dodgy person would beable to redo it by hand, its just too neat.

Im not worried haha, i know the guy that owned it previously and it was a personal import, shes a pearla :D

To be honest. The plate on my GTT i think is printed, only because the lookd of it. The writing is also white which i think is a dead give away. However, it did take me a while to decide.

In the end the fact the writing is white not silver says to me its printed :D

my writing is also white but its slightly engraved? =/

ok this could lead to be a problem...if people cant figure out if ther plates are engraved or not....for all we know each persons observation could be diffrent from the others.....and it wouldnt be proper to start posting pictures of our blue plates up.... so we cant compare blue plates like that.... the only thing i can think of is on the next big cruise ( for me it will be the hill's meet-up posted in the nsw events forum) we just all look at eachothers blue plates and compare...thats the only thing i can think of...

this is still confusing the hell out of me tho,you would think that nissan would be consistent on this matter - you would think that they would have some sort of system atlest for each r model....and i cant imagine all these ppl having rebuilds or rebirths....

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
