I came across this on skylinesdownunder:

http://forums.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/atta...?s=&postid=6822

It purportedly shows the chassis/serial numbers of R33s.

The chassis number on my R33 waiting in Japan is ECR33-101269, if I go by the link above, that shows that it is a 95 model.

The one I have waiting in Japan has S2 front bar, S2 interior and from all indications is a S2.

Does this mean the information in the link is incorrect, or that the car has just had S2 bits put in it (which would seem like a fairly big effort).

fairly big efforts come out of japan jason thats how dodgy dealers get by in perth

the place you are buying your car from is not like that so relax, i knew you were gonna get like this man, wanting to investigate everything AFTER you bought it

just relax till it arrives then you can visit it on the docks bro

i will try and get my chassis/serial number from Tim who bought mine and we can work it out

uneekwahn my series 2 was the same in a way it worked out better for compliancing because 96 and after had 2 have more things changed so it wouldve cost more

i think there was a crossover end of 95 start of 96 with both series ones being made and series 2's either that or sumone told me the last few series 1's were made series 2's at factory just to get rid of them as a new model? but im not sure

i was told mine was 96 but it got registered as 95

Man i have mine and i am still paranoid...

As for eager, you must be like a little kid at Christmas...

But i shall stop chatting before i get in trouble.

If you need nay other info just ask!

Hey Riaz,

the build date on your old series 2 (now tims) made it in the 96 range.

I'm not too worried about this as it would be logical that they had to build some 96 models in 95, they wouldn't have just woken up on 1 January 96 and started building the new ones.

Oh well, back to work for me today, will catch you there buddy.

Jason.

    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
