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.

I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
