Hi All.

I'm looking at a BNR32 and the VIN/build plate has been removed by the importer. He reinstalled it but lost one of the little rivet-like things and has ordered a new one from Nissan.

He says he removed it because when he degreases the engine bays the degreaser strips the blue paint/coating from the VIN plate.

Does anyone see any truth in this?

I painted my engine bay and removed the plates.

When it came time I used metal rivets instead of the plastic ones - so hope don't get in strife or loose a sale if I ever sell.

I have seen the blue flake a little off the plate so I'll double check mine in the morning.

I wouldn't expect degreaser would remove it but something like carby cleaner and a rub now that I can see causing damage to the plate.

I think some heavy duty degreaser with some kind of hot wash was used on mine that resulted in the blue from the bottom of my factory VIN number being damaged. I've seen this once in a while in engine bay shots when ppl sell cars.

First you have to explore this products on some online store. you will find huge varieties of this products. This will help you to take decision to buy new product.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
