You won't find a build date on the car. Get the build number & details from the blue build plate & get someone to plug it into the PASS software. The last of the GT-R's will have a BNR3XXXXX (My 94 Gt-R has a three hundred thousand build number) where as an 89 model will read something like BN001XXX (ie in the thousands)

Depending on the scheme the car was imported under will determine whether or not is has a second compliance plate. An 89 model imported under the 15 year rule will only have the blue plate from Nissan. An R32 bought in under the old import scheme wil have an additional green plate that should have the build date on it. I am not sure what the story is with the new scheme, but you are unlikely to see a SEVS R32 GT-R yet.

you should find the date on the seatbelts... there's a piece of white material at the low bit of it (next to bottom of seat) which has details written on it. mine has it anyway...

I am not 100% on this, but I believe that only cars imported under the 15 year rule still retain their Japanese seatbelts.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
