Can You Read Japanese?

[Marcus89]

Well recently bought a r34 GTT and trying to get a gauge on how accurate/inaccurate my displayed kilometers are as i have been told i have a series 1 dash but it is a series 2 car. Anyway i went hunting through the engine bay and around the car generally looking for servicing stickers or anything that might indicate the car has done more than shown.

My searching only turned up 2 stickers one on the airbox in the engine bay and the other on my windscreen (although this one i doubt is of much use). My best guess is it says the airfilter is due to be replaced at 100k's or that it was replaced at 100k's if someone can give me a definite answer that would be really useful.

I think the sticker with 100,000km on it is to remind you to change your timing belt before, if not at 100,000km's.

The green sticker with the 21 on it, from memory it is a Japanese Rego sticker.

I will have to get my parents to have a read tonight and translate it.

Yep the 100,000km sticker is just notice to change the belt at 100,000km - it's on many Japanese vehicles and put there by the factory.

Ok thanks guys thought it was something saying work was done at 100k's which shouldnt be as my dash reads 88k's although if there were any such service stickers they would likely have been taken off i guess if someone was trying to be dodgey.

Are series 1 center console gauges white? If so i am keen to get them or is it just an orange light behind the gauges that makes the series 2 ones orange?

Ppl in Japan usually change the timing belts around 80,000 km mark, some times 60,000 km mark.

Not too sure why they do it earlier tho...

Once you get to 100,000 km, just change the timing belt regardless.

Not too sure about the gauges, but I know NISMO gauges usually have a white background.

Just get NISMO or Defi ones.

Top line says - Timing belt change

Second line says- change every 100,000km

This from my Japanese partner

Yea i was planning to unless i found something that suggested my car had traveled further than the k's shown in which case i would of booked it in asap. Still a bit suss on why i have a series 1 cluster but don't mind it too much the car itself seems very good anyway and could easily pass off at the k's shown even if it has done extra k's.

Thanks for the info on the gauges will look into them
