I came across this on skylinesdownunder:

http://forums.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/atta...?s=&postid=6822

It purportedly shows the chassis/serial numbers of R33s.

The chassis number on my R33 waiting in Japan is ECR33-101269, if I go by the link above, that shows that it is a 95 model.

The one I have waiting in Japan has S2 front bar, S2 interior and from all indications is a S2.

Does this mean the information in the link is incorrect, or that the car has just had S2 bits put in it (which would seem like a fairly big effort).

fairly big efforts come out of japan jason thats how dodgy dealers get by in perth

the place you are buying your car from is not like that so relax, i knew you were gonna get like this man, wanting to investigate everything AFTER you bought it

just relax till it arrives then you can visit it on the docks bro

i will try and get my chassis/serial number from Tim who bought mine and we can work it out

uneekwahn my series 2 was the same in a way it worked out better for compliancing because 96 and after had 2 have more things changed so it wouldve cost more

i think there was a crossover end of 95 start of 96 with both series ones being made and series 2's either that or sumone told me the last few series 1's were made series 2's at factory just to get rid of them as a new model? but im not sure

i was told mine was 96 but it got registered as 95

Man i have mine and i am still paranoid...

As for eager, you must be like a little kid at Christmas...

But i shall stop chatting before i get in trouble.

If you need nay other info just ask!

Hey Riaz,

the build date on your old series 2 (now tims) made it in the 96 range.

I'm not too worried about this as it would be logical that they had to build some 96 models in 95, they wouldn't have just woken up on 1 January 96 and started building the new ones.

Oh well, back to work for me today, will catch you there buddy.

Jason.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
