Plugged my Car's VIN number into the system and got this...

KRCR32.... etc

Now I know the K in the S13's meant Hatchback, but I don't think it applies here.

However with the KPGC10's the K stood for coupe and the C stood for extended wheelbase.

Also in HCR32 the H stood for 2.0L, the C stood for HICAS.

so does anyone have any idea what the characters represent?

cheers strutto :)

thanks for trying anyway funky

No probs... Anyone else want theirs done? Post it up...

It seems to be a little picky so I'm not suprised it didn't work for Funky...

Now all we need is for someone to decode / translate the following...

EDIT... shitty picture removed...

I'm looking in your direction Funky :D

meep, how'd that work for you, did you put inECR33 and the rest in the other field?

Yep... Like I said, it acts a bit funny... It originally didnt work for mine either, would only show the build date... Then I entered in Gregs and it worked... Tried mine again and hey presto...

Mmm... its just a screen cap of what I see... Any suggestions on how to get it to display the original jap chars?
d/l the IME Japanese language pack from Microsoft... thats if you don't have it already?

hmm... could be tricky. i think you will need to download japanese language support/character display for your computer. can probably download it from microsoft but not sure. what program are u using? is it web-based? if its web based then its easy once u've downloaded the japanese language support (View>Encoding>Japanese)

i think this is the sort of thing shan might know?

EDIT: ^^what rezz said :)

Mmmm... d/l'ing the Jap IME now... I can see the Jap chars under Rezz's username without it installed... Not sure if this will help... :)

The program is Nissan FAST... It's not web based at all... Funny thing is, most of the program is in english, it's just a few areas that come up in jibberish...

Adrian did you download ALL the files or just the 'b' rars?

Matt I downloaded all the files but I only have 5 CD's set up... A1, A2, A3, B1, B2... I didn't bother with the EL's, ER's, GL's and GR's...

Are you having trouble getting it working? It's a bitch of a program...

K on s13's doesnt mean coupe or hatchback.

Without being TOO specific, the Q and K's s13s usually relate to the performance package.

Silvia Q's = sr20de engine, not as decent brakes & suspension

Silvia K's = sr20det (turbo) engine, decent brakes & suspension plus an extra scoop on the front bar for the intercooler, etc

Though i've been told my K's has J's headlights (the square ones) which are the desired lights.

I dare say its different for lines :)

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
