I am looking at buying a 1996 R33 GTS-T Skyline In Melbourne

I have read through the topic "I'm buying a Skyline... What should I look for?" very good.

I still have a few questions, The Vin numbers got me thinking looked a little odd. There was one that was engraved into the firewall (left side), another rivited on almost next to it on the right. Then it had the blue plate it looked fine. could someone please up load a pic so I can see what i should be looking at please.

Also does anyone know some that i can contact to check the vin number so i know it is/ isnt a rebirth.

Thanks for any help :D

last i checked, it shouldnt be rivited. The blue plate should be at the back of the engine bay (sorta like in front of the dash and stuff) and it should be held on by these white-ish looking pins....

there is a thread on the nissan fast program - leave the numbers there, for someone to check

The Blue plate is as you describe, But there are two other numbers that im unsure about, one is on a slim chromish plate on the middle of firewall and another to the left which looks as though it may have been sanded back or somthing, and there is a number like a Vin number engraved there.

What is the nissan fast program you mentioned?

Thanks

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.

      I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
