Your model number is KBNR32RBFSAA. Using the below link to decode all the letters you can see its a vspec.

To be honest i have no idea what the M, Z or G mean in your model code but i have only ever seen them on r32 gtr's that were built in 1989.

Maybe someone else can shed some light on what these 3 letter mean and why they only seem to be on the model codes of early r32 gtr's??

G'day,

Could someone with FAST do a vin & engine check for me if possible.

The VIN is ECR33135365.

Engine no is RB25277413A

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

I have been doing a lot of searching around on the forums for the answer to what the last letters mean on the model codes for the early model r32 GTR's (L,M,Z and G).

cameronbnr32 and garrysandy the only info i could find for you guys (and any one else wondering) was a post from funkymonkey back in 2004.

From what i read the letters L and M, which occupy Positions 8 + 9 in the model code, are known as VS Sign (VS Options)...

L means it has Projector Headlights

M means it has both climate comtrol + upgraded stereo

Letters Z and G occupy Positions 10 + 11 in the model code and are known as Pack Sign (Package Extras Sign)...

Z Im still not sure what it means but some guys believe it might be to do with the interior trim. RellikZephyr Thought Z = Black Interior Trim.

Cant be confirmed unless funkymonkey or someone else knows for sure what it means.

G from what i found means ABS and a Viscous LSD

Hope that helps a lil for you guys wanting to know.

Below is funkymonkey's original post from back in the day

Here's the factory Extras that are indicated by the last 7 characters ona 1989 -1991 R32

makes sense - cause the whole chassis code from the vin i posted ended in LMEC

the car does have the projector headlights (L)

it could have climate control and the upgraded stereo, but they have been ripped out (although some parts are there)

the E corresponds to GT auto spoiler front and rear apparently - and it is a type M r32 with a sliver GT badge on the side

and it does have a sunroof which is a type M spec item

bit of food for thought i suppose :woot:

Yeh i tried with my r32 gtst model code. I have the LMEC on the end of my model code and it worked out fine.

I have the projector head lights. I have the climate control and had the "upgraded" stereo. I had the GT auto spoiler and its a type M r32 so thats how i decided it was all pretty right and close to the mark.

If any one definitely knew any different im pretty sure they would soon post in here.

Still dont get why nissan changed everything from 1991 onwards with model code the R32 GTR's . Did make it a lot easier to decode the model code though

Edited by babyskyline

can you do 350Z checks? checking for a friend... have a suspicion a dealer is doing a dodgy, need to know if it REALLY is a "track" model and if it came from the factory with the REAL track rims, the lightweight ones...

EDIT: hmmm... i don't think i've been given a VIN, i've got the engine #

VQ35037314

and this

JNIGAA233A0010029 - being a Zed, should it have a Z33 type code somewhere? - It's OZ delivered obviously

My friend only showed me pics, i saw brembo's but the rims were the non-track rims... the track rims weren't an option were they? I'm just wondering if they saw her coming, maybe did something with the rims, or perhaps the brembo's were an option and it's not really a track model?

is there a button in the cabin somewhere to check for stability control?

the other thing i thought with 'fast' is that if it said it came from factory with the lightweight rims, i would get her to ask the dealer where the hell they went!

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
