strutto.... use the Fast setup program, that's installed with FAST to choose a Japanese Unicode Font.

That way the characters won't look like jibberish it'll be japanese unicode character.

pentae, i'm not talkin about Silvia K's, I'm talking about the KRPS13 etc...

here's a lil sumfin 4 u to chew on :)

S13's

KRS13 - 180sx w/ CA18DET and 4WS

RS13 - 180sx w/ CA18DET

KRPS13 - 180sx w/ SR20DET and 4WS

RPS13 - used for the 180SX Type S and 180SX Type G with the SR20DE. Used as well for the 180SX Type X w/ the SR20DET

KS13 - Silvia J's and Q's had CA18DE w/ 4WS. Silvia K's had CA18DET w/ 4WS

S13 - Silvia J's and Q's had CA18DE. Silvia K's had CA18DET

While sittin here doin buggery till my shift's over, I got around to installing the system so I could check out the VIN number screens. After a lot of squinting and scribbling down Kanji on pieces of paper, here's the first two screens decoded.

oi adrian, how'd you get to that screen?

Enter only the model series (R33) and hit OK...

Go to the abbreviations menu and choose model 1-13 digits, or model 14-18 digits...

If you enter a VIN, it only displays the codes for that particular series...

The Model Number Reference Illustrations for the 33 are no where near as comprehensive as for the 32... :rant:

Anyway... On with the show... I did what you said Shan and for your edification and enjoyment, here are the first 13 model codes (in Japanese) for the R33...

Go forth and translate my people!

1-13.jpg

7 more digits innit? that decoding I gave you in my PM wasn't off fast, it was off a list that someone posted up that sorta guessed at what it might be by looking at the differences in the VIN numbers of different cars. Its not wrong, but not that accurate either.

figured out why the R33 vin numbers weren't working on my system, its coz they're all in A2, and for some reason it's not loading A2... grrr... I've set it up properly and all...the archive is fine as well, might have to get a copy off a mate or somehting...

rest of the R32 translation comin up

Ive currently only got a1.rar loaded..

and when i click..

Search > Models on CD ..

That will only show me the models that are in the A1.rar correct?

If so, has anyone decoded this list? .. If not i will translate it tomorrow for you guys.

let me know before hand so im not translating somethign thats already translated :D

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
