You can use that as a guide on how to decode the plate and what each letter means. For that plate I have no idea what the last 3 letters mean. But seems like a Standard GTR that's imported.

If it was ADM or Nismo, etc you'd notice the letters would have a certain combination, etc.

BNR32002355 would indicate an early run from 1989. These are in demand in USA now.

Model# alphanumeric indicates what it came out of the factory with.

See if "Iron Chef Imports" might export it for you to the State, depending on its condition. In the USA he's known as Iron Block imports

You should have an import plate also as Terry said in addition to the build plate. Once a car is registered in Australia for the first time though the import plate doesn't have to be displayed either after that.

If in doubt you can always check the VIN number on Nissan Fast or something to confirm the status of the car.

Once the car is registered it will have all the compliance details attached to it as it's required.

lol the fact that he would have payed plenty for an aust delivered, if he didnt pay through the nose and some how ended up with one and never realized it... he would have won at life.

i have however wandered how much my 89gtr would be worth in the USofA this year....... just y'know.. wondered :)

It's gun metal grey so it's an import

Aussie ones only came in red, silver and black. Apart from a couple that were used as pace cars that momo did a few things to and they were green

Also if it was brought in under the 15 year rule (before it was changed) it won't have an Australian compliance plate

There is a thread for getting VIN's fasted you can post in if you don't mind waiting a day or so to get the results back.

Ghost posted the link earlier, just go to the last page and add the VIN you want fasted I guess. Should provide most of the details.

If the car is currently registered in a state you can also go to the state government website and do a quick check with the VIN for details regarding compliance and security for free or a small fee usually.

almost no need to fast bud. we practically share vins.

K: Coupe

B: 2.6L (GTR)

N: Super Hicas + Attessa

R32: 8th Generation Skyline
R: 2 Doors

X: GTR (16 Inch Wheels)

F: 5 Speed Manual
S: Intercooler + Turbo + EGI
L: Fog Lights

then it gets choppy...

ok more research shows allot of conflicting info

M: Limited slip diff/ rear wiper less (which i have) ???

Z: Cold weather pack/ early n1 spec ???

G: still nothing

GH05T, on 03 Feb 2015 - 10:41 AM, said:snapback.png

so more info suggests the following

M = P+Q (Climate control + upgraded sound)

Z = Cold pack? heated side rear view mirrors

G = B+D (ABS + Visc LSD)

still unsure as M states elsewhere about the wiperless windscreen which i do have.


never found out for sure.
.... but yours has a rear wiper, mine did not. otherwise almost identical base cars.

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
