shopping around for an r33 gtst, came across a few on facebook, when looking up the car history, the manufacture year is off, like 2007 for example, 2009 on another, one even said sedan while it was a coupe. asked owners for the vin information and it checks out on gtr registry

 

whats going on ?

Those dates are probably compliance dates. The shop who did my RWC put the compliance date instead of manufacture date, had to go back to get it sorted since I was going club permit and it had to be >25 years.

same with the body style, that depends what whoever filled in the first blue slip form ticked....they didn't always care enough to get it right. You can get the same issue with any rego details, our March is registered as a "NISSAN 00CAR"

there was a period when the compliance date was treated as the manufacturing date on rego papers as the complier took responsibility for "remanufacturing" the car to meet australian rules. lots of older imports will have that issue

All skylines are sedans in the eyes of the rms (rta back in the day) to be considered a coupe it had to be in the style of the the LH/LX torana hatches or a 180sx and etc 

thank you guys, very excited to own a skyline finally!!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
