Nissan R33 Blue Jap Id Tag Question

[THE_350GT]

Hey Guys,

Looking on my mates car his blue jap ID tag says its an RB20D 1998 CC and he has an R33 S2

Now R33 don't come out with RB20 full stop. How could this have been complied if just those number along don't make any sense? Any one else comment on what there Blue ID tag says?

yeah he has a 5 speed S2 Turbo 5 stud wheel pattern. So does that mean engine swap before it got complied?

Or could they have swapped tags before it was complied? Is there a hidden place that they would have stamped the cars vin from factory?

His details are:

yep definately started life with an rb20de......

btw not sure how you got the car, but it really should never have been complied with that vin (and it is very likely the compliancer knew from the vin). if you wanted you could probably pursue compensation

yeah he is chasing it up with Vic roads and also trying to get the details of the actual compliance place that did the car.

They didn't make RB 20E engins in 97 ? Nissan stoped them in 95 didn't they?

If the car was complied under the old scheme when unlimited mods were allowed (green alloy compliance tag), prior to SEVS, it probably is not a problem.

But if the car was complied under sevs (pink complinace sticker) then there could be a problem
