Hello everybody, my name is steve I`m from Germany and I need some help. Because my english is not realy good, don`t laugh about funny sounding things I give my best to let you know what I mean. So sorry again for the bad english.

Here is the problem.

I bought the original " Hero car" Nissan Skyline R34 from universal pictures. This is the only car that was sole driven by paul Walker and none of the dummy or stunt cars.

Now comes the problem I want to know what engine belongs in the car original. For every other Nissan car i can just call a Nissan dealer give him the VIN of the car , he looks in his computer and can give me the Engine Nummber.

Not for this car! Not for R34 in general. I talked to dealers and the general Importers in Europe,Germany,France, Great Britan, USA nobody can help me. The all told me I would have to call Nissan in Japan or find a dealer in New Zealand or Australia.

I spend about 3 hours on the phone try to reach somebody at Nissan Japan, but nobody could help me they just do not speak english or they just do not understand what I want from them. One Guy even ask me if this is a Joke because the engine Nummber is stamped on the engine so if I got the car I can see the engine Nummber?? This all is fine but what I wanted to know is the engine Number the car was original produced in November 2000.

So please does anybody of you know a Nissan Dealer who can look in the system and find out the engine Nummber that original belonged to the car?????? This is the VIN the car has now , it could be changed in the first Numbers because the car was Imported to the USA for the Movie and the VIN perhaps was modified at the first few letters, but even with the VIN I got here we can find out when the car was produced the options and the colour so it should work.. This is what I got VIN: BNR 34-400109 .

Thank you for your assistance. :P

We'd love some pics of your new "BABY" Steve :P

Inside & Out!

Any leftover bits from Mr Walker? Can you sample some leftover perspiration from the driver's seat for marketable DNA? haha

Nick aka Black_Widow was one of our Organisers at the 10th Anniversary of the R34 GT-R Celebration earlier this year. He co-opted our link with Universal Studios with lots and lots of goodies for the prizewinners.

Just released NOW is a feature of that event in a magazine called "Performance Imports" where Nick scripted a wonderful write-up.

You can buy it via [email protected] and make sure you ask for Edition #113

It's also a magazine where you can source lots of parts for your car if you can't find them in the For Sale section on Skylines Australia

Also this week, that event above is featured in a new DVD called MOTIVE DVD #3 which is available online on...

[email protected] or www.motivedvd.com

Nick was our link with JetMultimedia too!

All in all, the guys here on SAU can be extremely helpful, so ENJOY!!!

I've read a couple of your posts & seen a couple of pics to see that you're a real collector Stefan.

You even have some original RE-01R tyres on there ^^^?

edit re similar taste?: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/po...pr2009st104.pdf

After reading that, you'll have proven that your grasp of the English language is soooooo much better than my German haha

And you talked to Andy Middlehurst at St Helens with his Liverpudlian accent eh?

Hey Steve,

Welcome and congrats on the purchase.

Did you have any luck in being able to verify the engine number was the original engine?

I've tried this in the past but also ran into brick walls and had no luck. As far as i know FAST does not have this info, only the engine type. Not number.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
