i have an 1994' r33 rb25det. i know this..

every time i get a roadworthy done or vic roads looks up my engine number it says its an r32 1998" model. when i purchased the car they said it was a 1998 model even tho i knew it was definitely a 1994 model.. im thinking this could be because it was inported in 1998 but what i dont understand why is it being called an r32? i know my cars not stolen because i had it roadworthy & registration done about 3 months ago and they do a background check.. any ideas?

What colour is your compliance plate?

I'd say it is how it is complied. I've seen few Imports like this.

If there aren't any problems, I won't worry too much about this.

nah i dont think its a 98' engine, its definitely an rb25det, most of it has been rebuilt within the last year so the car would of been imported with the standard engine. im guessing it probably is just a mix up just wanted to see if anyone else thought that.. maybe i can just go into vicroads and get the details changed on it? i just put my vin on the VIN thread but it kinda looks different to the others that are on there.

it'd say it is possibly likely due to some dick filling in the initial compliance papers incorrectly.

+1

Sorry I wasn't actually suggesting your car is a 1998 model, your car looks like a s1 '94 to me... 98's were s2's and you have an s1 front bar so yeah... just pointing out that 33's were still made in that year. I think mad082 is on the right track.

maybe i should hit the car yard up for false advertisement then, it was advertised as a 94' r33 4 door gts25/t rb25det, the nissan FAST program i have tells me its a 93' r33 4 door gts25/g rb25de, although i know its an rb25det engine not an rb25de+t because as soon as i took the turbo off it ran like a box of s*#t, whereas if i took a turbo off an rb25de+t it would pretty much just run like an N/A engine because the compression would be more or less normal.. anyway doesnt really bother me im selling it soon and building a new car with an rb26dett :cool:

i got onto the x owner and he was telling me he's built the engine from ground up, its a new engine i was aware of that but i had thoughts that it was still the same make of engine before he rebuilt it (rb25det), but it is actually kind of a good thing, i have 8 months till im on my fulls and the compliance plate is calling it non turbo, even tho i have a run around for now its still reassuring that i can be a little less worried when i drive it :P

The year of a car is determined by it's first year of registration. For example, I used to have an r32 gts-t that was a 93 model but FAST listed it's 'build' date as November 92.

Likewise a friend bought a commodore at the start of last year which is listed as an '09 model but the car was 'built' in 2008.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
