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?

Managed to get most of it decoded...

K: Coupe

R = ???

C: Super Hicas

R32: 8th Generation Skyline

R: 2 doors

G: GTS

F = ???

E: Naturaly Aspirated + EGI

L: Fog Lights

AA: GTR & V-Spec I & II (Non N1)

732: Black Pearl

G: Dark Grey Interior

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 :)

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
