i went and bought what was said to be an r33 gtr skyline but according to the chassis plate it was produced on the 9th month of 1993. from what i have gathered they didnt release the r33 gtr until 1995 yet this has the full gtr body, interior and running gear including rb26dett and 4 wheel drive. the plate also states that it is an rb25det and it says ecr33, it has got me stumped and i am really hoping i havent been ripped off. i couldnt imagine somebody could justify the costs involved with going to such an extent to mock up a gtr.

If you wanna give me your Vin, I can check it in NISSAN FAST and see what it says.

Although, if it says ECR33 & RB25det, this may be all you need to know.

Dude if the build plate says it's an ECR33, you've been ripped off. What's more, the good bits inside your car were probably stripped from a stolen one, so you'd want to be checking your engine number quick smart.

Yeh mate tell one of the boys your vin so they can run it in the Nissan fast programme which will distinguish what car it is.

Look up 'get vin fasted' or similar

From what youve described, you've got yourself a 33 gtr that's got 33 gtst build plates and can only be rego'd as such.

A good way to check right now is have a look at the Japan vin that's stamped into the fire wall and see how it compares to the blue build plate. If its different your've got ya self in a jam.

Good luck mate.

    • @Supernanoyour car has ended up in my hands and I was wondering if there has been any work done to the motor?  
    • Sigh... yeah OEM mount rear battery, very R33, very demure, very mindful.
    • Would need a substantial current draw in the car to make a bunch of sparks. Obvs to now test resistance to ground of the car's B+ lead. If there's a short there, you'll see it. Only likely place for that, as you suspect is alternator. But there is also the possibility that rats have had a chew on some insulation. Shitbox has the battery in the boot, yeah? Plenty of cable to attack.
