newbie question.

I saw a Eng No. of R33 start as RB25...., but I quite sure that r33 has a turbo and someont told me it is r33 GTST. I'm confused, I think GTST would be start as RB25DET...

By the way, I haven't chect the number on engine, I just read it from the rego which pasted under windscreen.

the engine designation model is an RB25DET - that is what nissan calls it. The Engine Number is stamped in the block, near at the rear behind the turbo - it starts with the block type (in this case 'RB') and then a bunch of numbers and/or letters that mean pretty much bugger all to you and i. To nissan however, it should mean something :confused:

You won't find "RB25DET" stamped anywhere on the engine or firewall. You will find it on the build plate and/or compliance plate.

The engine number like Ronin09 said is stamped behind the turbo, and in your case should read something like "RB25 XXXXXXx".

Your chassis number is stamped on the firewall and will read something like "BCR33-XXXXXX" like rob77 said.

The VIN is the long, rectangular plate pot-riveted onto the firewall.

For example(my car is an R32 GTS-4):

My engine number is "RB20 XXXXXXA"

My chassis number is "HNR32-XXXXXX"

My VIN is "6T91XXXXXXXXXXXXX"

You derive "RB25DET" by what the car is equiped with.

"RB": RB=block type/series, "25" 2.5 litre engine capacity, D=Double overhead cam (DOHC), E=Electronic fuel injection (EFI), and T=Turbo/Turbocharged.

Hope this helps.

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By Last Phantom · Posted

      Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅

      Help needed issue with heater core blower and actuator and need someone to fix this and reinstall dash - 32 - Gtst

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.

      Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"

      Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?

      NC MX5

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
