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!!

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
