i've hit a small snag....i need a head gsdket set but unfortuinatly in 1987 there was a bunch of revisions half way though the year and thus causes there to be 2 different sets (one much more than the other)

i got some numbers from the block, the cylinder heads are at the machine shop still


the car was bulit in 1/87

the Fuji Heavy Industries Plaque in the engine compartment says 2960 (edit: thats in CC why the poop didnt i rember that) after the engine number

and theres a number on the eingine it self VG30 818318 A

ANY IDEAS OR CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHERE TO FIND THE DATE ON THE ENGINE IT SELF (sorry caps but i am not fixing it because i am lazy)

 

y dont u try asking for a 85 - 88 maxima ther the same bloke. and the 2960 is the cc of the bloke and the VG30 818318 A i belive its the sirial number

 

uhh....bloke?

any way no there were revisions, same engine, some slightly diferent parts...

i'm not satisifed with the car bulid date so i want an enging bulid date

 

Your right about the different gasket set depending on your build date, big $$$ diff too. Looks like your lucky its the lower priced one.

Post your vin number and I'll see if I can come up with the build date . I have a 87 Nissan Parts catalog that list build dates from the vin #s . The list ends at 8/87.

ok i'll have to get it tommorow

 

sorye about my spelling but it sucks a$$

 

yes it does but thats ok, it doesent matter as long as people know what your talking about, i just thought bloke sounded kinda funny

 

i dont like double posting but this was easier





i figure it was easier this way, that way you got it all there, i have a pic of the plate in the door jam but its kinda blurry so i am trying to help it, if you need it to tell me

 

OK according to the listing, your vin # 329791 fits right in at the build date starting with 327723 1/87 to 335372 2/87. So looks like it fits right in around 1/87. I wouldnt worry too much and go ahead and get the gasket set for pre-4/87 build cars.

The plant it was build at ......OPPAMA.....

ok the lesser expencive set then thats good....now to find a front exhaust manifold
