Hey,

Just a question in regards to VINs/Chassis Numbers. I bought an R34 25GT from Japan and it's just waiting for the next available ship headed to Australia. I organized compliance with a workshop and when they asked me for the Chassis Number in order to apply for a Vehicle Import Approval, I made the mistake of quoting the number in a public place where there's heaps of people around(I was on my break at work). So, if you overheard the number, what could you do with it? Would you be able to do anything that could prevent me from getting the car complied or registered or whatnot? I'm just hoping there were no criminals around me who rebirth vehicles and such, lol. :/

Maybe I'm just over-reacting. Anyway, comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Once your vehicle is registered this information is available online to the public anyway.

VIN swaps or rebirths tend to happen when the swapper owns and has written off the original car, or stolen the number from a written off car at a wreckers (even then you'll have a tough time registering it).

Dood, bad mistake.

Do you know how much it will cost to re-export the car to Japan?

I never talk VIN numbers unless its with friends, and only if there is a cone of silence.

Not to worry...

I'm paranoid myself - but that doesn't mean that there's no-one following me. >_<

Mmm. But aside from all the jokes and such, nobody could really do anything with the chassis number, right? Sorry, I just don't know who is and isn't being serious. :/ lol

We have a thread where VIN numbers are posted so we can run them through Nissan's FAST so vehicle details can be confirmed.. Nothing can be done with them.. Well nothing that you could prevent.. The fact that you think some random car rebirther just happens to be near you and is ready to take the VIN/chassis numers down like it happens everyday is hilarious

Mmm, probably highly unlikely but you never know who is around... lol. Thanks for clearing it up anyway. :D

lol...I laugh at customers who are afraid to read me

credit card numbers over the phone...and then there's you...

Don't worry OP, everything is fine. Crisis averted.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
