Hi guys,

My car died last week so I am in need of a new car. My mate showed me a skyline, always have liked the cars, and now want to buy one.

I was googling for information on the dealer who is selling this particular car and stumbled onto a thread containing the nissian FAST system, which allows the VIN Number to be checked. The VIN for this particualar car is listed as rb25 060551a on the site. How do I go about checking this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

You'll find thats the engine number mate, not the VIN...

The VIN will be something along the lines of ECR33 XXXXX

If it's complied, then it'll have a bunch of numbers before the ECR33, but when using FAST you'll only need the original Jap VIN, which will be ECR33 XXXXXX, and can be found on the blue build plate on the firewall.

search on www.gtr.co.uk and you might still be able to find download links for it. Its pretty big though.. like 2gig all up.

Easier to just ask ppl in the 'FAST' thread to look stuff up for you :blink:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
