There a way to tell what year car your engine is from?

I don't think it's possible to tell from what year...

 

however I understand that there are differences between the Series and that can give you a round about age...

 

unfortunately you'll have to wait for someone with that knowledge to come along and reply... :)

You can probably work it out from the Nissan FAST cd.

but wouldn't you need to know the part number? and what part number would you need to know?

 

I know there is a serial number but that be any good?

It certainly doesn't give you the option of the parts page to put in an engine SN number.

 

A guy on the Oz forum asked the same question recently, it was general consensus that it couldn't be done... or at least was very difficult...

 

if someone can work it out, I'd be most impressed and would also let them know how to...

I've not played with the FAST for a while, but I thought that the full details of the car gave the engine number, in which case you can probably work backwards and find out which year/car it's from.

yeah, that would make sense.... but I had a quick look and couldn't work it out...

 

anyway this is what I found from the online parts catalog: (no idea how correct it is or how this helps.... lol)

Cool, was just wondering because I was looking at a link to courtesyZ or something and it saying something about 89 or 90-94 engines
