OK, I did a search and couldn't really find what I wanted.

Is there any clue as to what year mode my car is? Its an R32 GTR, shop told me its a 91 model though I want to make sure.

I saw funkymonkey's thread about all the Skylines made and didn't see any 91 R32 GTRs (only 89 and 93). Or am I reading that wrong?

huh? no what it means is that production of the GTR started in 1989 and as incorrectly stated, it stopped halfway thru 1994.

if you want an exact year/month, pm me your vin number and I'll put it in the nissan fast sytem and tell you what it gives.

A rough estimate of model year can be made by looking at the tag sewn into the front seatbelts.

They have a manufacturing date either stamped or printed on the tag. It is located on the outboard side near lower attachment point.

For instance my 1989 GT-R had 1989 stamped on the tag in faded black ink. My 2000 GT-t has Manufactured June 2000 printed on the tag.

Hope this helps.

hehe i'm just playin with ya, before we import cars, sometimes we check seatbelts on early 1990 cars, on a few we've found 1989 seatbelts and submitted it to DOTARs as evidence and they've accepted it.

Or just check your Japanese title/registration since you are in Japan. Take a look at the third block from the left on the top row, there you will find the year and then the month your car was first registered in Japan. The first digit is the year(Nengo year system) and the second will be the month. You should find a 3(H3) since the car is supposedly a '91.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
