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?

Anyone wanna fill in the Gaps?

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 :)

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
