Hi guys,

My car died last week so I am in need of a new car. My mate showed me a skyline, always have liked the cars, and now want to buy one.

I was googling for information on the dealer who is selling this particular car and stumbled onto a thread containing the nissian FAST system, which allows the VIN Number to be checked. The VIN for this particualar car is listed as rb25 060551a on the site. How do I go about checking this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

You'll find thats the engine number mate, not the VIN...

The VIN will be something along the lines of ECR33 XXXXX

If it's complied, then it'll have a bunch of numbers before the ECR33, but when using FAST you'll only need the original Jap VIN, which will be ECR33 XXXXXX, and can be found on the blue build plate on the firewall.

search on www.gtr.co.uk and you might still be able to find download links for it. Its pretty big though.. like 2gig all up.

Easier to just ask ppl in the 'FAST' thread to look stuff up for you :blink:

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I would argue that >300rwkW inevitably comes only with a raised boost threshold that makes it more likely to get beaten by the family SUV with a 95 speed auto transmission and TD torque. Ditto the traction problems when it finally does come on boost. I used to love my stock turbo. A little flex of the ankle and it made a sweet little whistle and you had torque immediately. It wasn't fast fast, but it was more likely to win the "squirt to make the gap" type races that actually matter for a street car. I think >300 rwkW requires more capacity than an RB25 can offer (again, for street driving). I have enough experience with driving 2JZs in that space to know that they are much easier to pedal around in than a 25. I keep thinking Greg did the right thing putting a V8 is his car. I can't see myself not having a turbo - but I'd really like a big engine torque curve.

      This is kinda how I see it also. Could drill down then into sub tags.

      Let's be honest here @GTSBoy 250kW in a GTS-t would easily get walked by my a family SUV these days. 300kW is the sweet spot, fast enough to keep up with the modern German cars (not from a stand still), fun enough and the motor still can be stock/unopened. Realistically, 400kW is a good number. It's enough to give you cold sweats, still be very street able in terms of the power band (provided you're not an idiot and go single scroll and delete VCT) and only needs a very basic rebuild (or stock if you have a NEO motor). Anything more, it starts to be stupid.

      Deals off now apparently https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-13/honda-and-nissan-say-merger-talks-called-off/104934438 Hopefully Nissan closes up soon and the family X-Trail becomes a classic too!

      The west where I live is swarming with birds, not wrong they are bloody loud. In the meantime, do a DIY killswitch - $5 worth of things from jaycar, easy as too. The west is copping it with car theft lately, especially the big shopping centres.
