I know that thread exists but it takes forever for a response, I needed the quick check as I've already put down a deposit for a certain skyline however that is the Vin No. (Doesn't look like an R33 to me!) Very odd, also the car isn't registered in the sellers name so something fishy is going on......

[dezz]

so why'd you put a deposit when you know its dodgy?

that VIN is useless for a FAST check because its not an R33 Nissan VIN. R33 vins start with ECR33

[Ten Four]

I assumed the seller was the owner, as one would, but I suppose not checking the VIN was my mistake, it is only a N/A auto so I didn't suspect anything dodgy....

That vin does look weird for a 33 if your sus on it just walk away i know someone who recently got f**ked over buying a car and lost neally 10 grand.

[krzysiu]

That is no way a vin number for a r33 let alone a Nissan

i google'd around a little bit and found this site https://www.checkitout.com.au/index.php for checking the origins of VIN#

entering that VIN# shows this:

Make NISSAN

Model UNKNWN

Body Type SEDN

Colour GRY

also found a few V8 Sc400 soarers with similar vins?

At least that checkitout site reckons its a nissan, so its probably fine

Hey thanks alot for that, Joey I'm in WA and the car isnt lisenced anyway.

Its a

1994 Nissan Skyline R33

Auto

GTS-4 N/A

Grayish

2 Door Coupe

Im still undecided on what to do, my deposit isn't valid for long though and am still worried about the seller not having the car registered to him (not the "rightfull owner")

Just quickly, has anyone else got a R33 GTS-4 that would share their VIN number so I can compare? Cheers

[some_cs_student]

Search within the FAST threads (two of them) for R33 GTS-4 you should fine something...

Thats the 'aussie' RTA VIN from the rego papers, to FAST the 'jap' VIN you need the VIN number from the blue plate in the engine bay. Should be on the drivers side against the firewall.

Whats the reason its not in his name, did he tell you? If youre determined this is the car you want, try and get some answers on the ownership front before handing money over. Someone in another thread had their car taken off them for being stolen when it wasnt, so best be safe!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

just straight up ask him... and if he tries to be evasive tell him the cops have already been given his details

you should go to this website https://bizline.docep.wa.gov.au/revs/public...ch.cfm?search=1

you will need the registration number, the VIN number and the engine number.

sometimes you might not get a match because one number or letter will be incorrect and you may need to call the department of consumer and employment protection on 08 9282 0410 and ask to be put through to REVS checking.

they can see more information than you can and will be able to let you know.

also - to cover yourself you can purchase a certificate to show your car is legally purchased etc and is not owing finance / belonging to another owner.

i would highly reccommend this service - a little effort can make a huge difference.
