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.

i had a lot of trouble figuring out what my car was because:

a - some genius filled out the initial paperwork with the wrong information when i bought it

b - the car has a funny vin no. because the car was imported during a time where they gave them slightly different vins depending on what state the car was shipped to in australia.

google what each letter in your vin stands for and decipher the info that way - worked for me

i just looked at the pics you posted on that site of your car, and your vin number in fast. the car was originally a natro. i can tell this because it has 4 stud wheels and the ER33 vin number. the turbo cars all had ECR33 and if you put in ECR33 004493 you end up with a 2 door, gunmetal grey gts-t

going off the model number you posted, your car wasn't turbo from factory, and the things posted above (4 stud wheels and ER33 vin number) tell me that as well. unfortunately i can't tell you what exact year it is, as it doesn't come up in fast (but judging by the front bar, headlights bonnet and a few other things it is either a 93 or 94). it isn't the first vin i have tried in fast that hasn't brought up any results. i've tried it on a few silvias and 180sxs in the past and had some show up but not others.

      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
