  1. You won't find "RB25DET" stamped anywhere on the engine or firewall. You will find it on the build plate and/or compliance plate. The engine number like Ronin09 said is stamped behind the turbo, and in your case should read something like "RB25 XXXXXXx". Your chassis number is stamped on the firewall and will read something like "BCR33-XXXXXX" like rob77 said. The VIN is the long, rectangular plate pot-riveted onto the firewall. For example(my car is an R32 GTS-4): My engine number is "RB20 XXXXXXA" My chassis number is "HNR32-XXXXXX" My VIN is "6T91XXXXXXXXXXXXX" You derive "RB25DET" by what the car is equiped with. "RB": RB=block type/series, "25" 2.5 litre engine capacity, D=Double overhead cam (DOHC), E=Electronic fuel injection (EFI), and T=Turbo/Turbocharged. Hope this helps. cobo
  2. $600! not that cash happy. hehe.
  3. I'm on P's and in a R32 GTS-4 with no worries, but I guess it's pretty much a GTS-T anyway. heh. And yeah, insurance for these is $$$$, I was quoted $4000 for comp from Just Car Insurance...ouch. Went for 3rd party with F&T.
  4. Sorry my bad, after posting I had a better look at the site and found the one I was looking at is the "Competition" meter. oops.
  5. SLYWPN: I had a quick look at the GtechPro website (www.gtechpro.com), and I noticed the pic you have posted if different to the one on the website. Are you looking to group buy the one in your pic or the website pic? If you are looking to group buy the one on the website, COUNT ME IN!!
  6. Just a suggestion, I had a similar problem, went to a wheel and tyre place and got a 4WS alignment and it has been smooth sailing ever since. Hope this helps.

    It must be the shocks because I had a 4WS alignment when I got new tires and it still happened (but not so much if I recall right). What shocks would you guys recommend on a liiiimited budget? The car has stock shocks and therefore the front rides higher than the back.....ugly. So I would like to get some decent shocks but lower ones all 'round...
  8. Thanks guys, I will have to sit down and have a long hard think about it all...
  9. I went to the post sewid included in his post. My gearbox makes the same noise when you have the clutch disengaged. Wondering if anyone would know how much to replace the bearings that cause this noise? Cheers.
  10. Those are on the list, but I want to be able to control the mixture so it dosen't run lean or rich and go kapow...:-)
  11. Hey all, I have some spare cash and want to get one of these piggy back air/fuel computers. I have read that the e-manage is supposed to be the best, but I have found it's generally twice, if not more, the price of the S-AFC II. My car is a pretty much dead stock, I have a 3" cat back exhaust, performance clutch and a POD filter on the way. Would the Apexi do the job no worries? or would the e-manage be a better buy even though it's more expensive? Appreciate any help. Cheers. PS: I don't plan on upgrading the turbo or any other major bits and pieces, so I don't want to waste money on an e-manage if I would never need it.

    Hey All, I have posted about this before and have had some people experiencing similar problems, but not ideas of what it is and how to fit/reduce it: So here it is, my problem that is: When cruising along an open road or whatever on 100km when I go over crappy road works and dips and stuff in the road, my rear wheels seem to full lock each way and it throws the arse end of the car about, but it doesn’t make it break contact with the road. This may be normal, I don't know. But I thought it was a bit of a worry. If anyone has any ideas on it, I would greatly appreciate it! Cheers. PS: My car is an R32 GTS-4 with stock wheels and from what I can tell, stock suspension.
  13. I've never owned a HKS EIDS....?
  14. Thanks heaps Rezz, I really appreciate it.
  15. EnricoPalazzo: May I ask if you run your HKS BOV (SSQ??) with a stock ECU? If you do have a stock ECU and have a HKS SSQ BOV, how does your can run? ie: backfiring, lean/rich, etc? Cheers.
  16. Thanks for your help guys (and girls), especially Rezz. I will try a few things short from phoning Nissan or Autech in Japan. Hopefully I will find out something in the near Future. Cheers. PS: After posting my first thread, I had to phone up my car insurance to change a mistake they made on the paperwork, I spoke to one of the normal people who you deal with, but asked them about Autech and stuff on GTS-4's. In turn the guy put me on hold and went to speak to a 'import expert' who apparently said Autech did modifying to GTS-4's from Nissan and equiped them with a "less aggresive" GTR computer, aswell as some mech changes which the 'import expert' didn't elaborate on. Whether or not any of it is true is yet another mystery... Don't ya just love imports! :-)
  17. ECR 33: I don't know him, I just know of him, and yes it was a R33 White GTS-T...how do you know? Interloper: I would of loved to come, but being 4:40pm as I wirte this, I think it's a bit too late...heh. Thanks anyway, I appreciate it.
  18. Do you know of any way I could find out what Autech did to my car seeing they have obviously done something?
  19. Well, from the colours I have seen of other GTS-4's, it's the same. The inside looks the same, same colour seats, all that. Umm... As for mechanically, not sure. What does the "normal" GTS-4 from Nissan have on as in the way of driveline, suspension, computer, etc...?

    Lights

    My low-beams and high-beams both activate when the high-beams are on...? should this be normal? Risto, what kinda headunit you got, if you don't mind me asking?
  21. Sorry, ignore my last post, too lazy to read all 4 pages and just posted...heh
  22. Count me in for 1! Just let me know when it's needs to be paid for and how, etc... The above S and Skyline GT look awesome!
  23. I live in the gippsland area... Does anyone know if any cruises or whatever will be happening on the 5th (Friday) of Sept? I will be coming up for a family friends 60th for saturday, and would like to try and participate in a cruise on Friday if something is happening? I will be in the Knox area on Friday.
  24. I don't fully understand or know about my particular car, but when I took it to Nissan in Brighton, when they punched in my cars numbers (chassis, etc) it came up with all Autech info as the manu. or something like that rather than it being Nissan. Rezz has sheded some light on the subject, but I am still in the dark about my particular GTS-4. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=22761 ^ is a thread I started trying to find some info...
  25. My GTS-4 is a 2 door with RB20DET engine, HNR32-XXXXXX chassis no, I only assume it's been through Autech because the Nissan dealer said when they punched in all my cars numbers, all Autech stuff came up rather than Nissan. And they said Autech did modifying to standard R32's straight from Nissan and etc etc... I have no idea if it's legit, but I guess only Autech could "take ownership" or something like that and state themselves as the manufacturer? It's a mystery, but one I want solved! I appreciate your help Rezz, Cheers.
