Hey guys,

I tried to run a fast on this VIN: 6T91MPAAASXBDR002. Its an R33 GTR 1995 White car.

The vin is very strange for a skyline. they usually start with 6U9000 and i am very worried.

Can anyone shed any light as to why the VIN would appear above and not start with the common import code for r33's?

Need urgent help

Thanks

Chris

That car would have been imported a while back when they used new semi-random 17 digit VIN numbers for imported cars ... a number of years ago they changed to the standard 6U9000XXXXXXXXXXX format ... in any case you should be looking for the original Japanese VIN number stamped on the filrewall to run it through FAST, it will be something like BCNR33-00XXXX

Thats the compliance plate, the nissan vin is usually on the firewall on the drivers side and its blue.

Yeah, but why have they complienced it with a really weird complience plate? It usually reflects the VIN...

Can anyone help me?

Did a Revs check on the car and it came up with 6T91MPAAASXBDR002. Usually comes up with something like (and this is an example) - 6U900BCNR33000964.

Anyone had this problem before? Does it mean its been rebirthed? Anyone?

This was a pre 2000 complied car, the Green compliance plate. Bank then VIN numbers were issued by state RTA authorities not DOTARS.

For Victoria all imports started with 6T91MPV.... you one starts with 6T91MPA so it was complied in another state most likely the ACT.

Compliance was a whole different ball game back in those days, you will notice you seat belts would have been changed too which they don't do anymore.

Thanks for clearing this up carizma. I was very worried that something odd was going on.

Very much appreciated.

FYI - it appears car was registered in QLD first.

you are also confusing "VIN" with "chassis number" the number you want to use in fast is the chassis number. it's the one on the build plate. the "VIN" is allocated in australia when the car is complied and as you can see they have not always followed the same pattern. these days yes it's a combination of the chassis number (which vary in length)prefixed with 6U9 and then a number of 0's to take the total number of digits up to 17. Under different schemes they were created differently as mentioned above. Chassis number and VIN are 2 different things.

Ah the joys of being a moderator haha

I also came across a car that is not using the original BCNR33 number, instead its number listed on the rego papers starts with 6M91mport - so thanks to this thread I'm more relaxed now - car was complied in ACT.

well glad that helped someone. :) but yeah the VIN numbers do not always contain the chassis numbers. so it's not unusual to see one with 6T91MP or 6M91MP etc. you can always get the chassis number off the original nissan build plate though. it should still be there. the old system was stupid. it's far better what they do now where they just re-use the chassis number and prefix it with 6U9 and 0's to make it fit our 17digit VIN format.

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?

      It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?

      I did say no low balling (Insert copy and paste article from Motor mag with complete history of R32 GTR development and racing history here)
