Hello, I am brand new to this forum and have a huge question. I recently bought a sandrail with a nissan motor but the previous owner coud not tell me what size it is. Only thing he told me that it was a skyline motor. Didn't know what year the engine was. It is a turbo V6. I think the turbo is not original. it was added on after but not 100% sure. My question is does anyone know on how to tell the size of the engine. I found what I thought was the VIN for the engine but when I googled the number nothing came up. Are there any other type of markers or something that would give me a lead, clue or idea of what the motor is. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Upload a picture I should be able to tell just by looking at it.

http://www.researchmaniacs.com/VIN/VIN-Decoder.html based off of this you might be able to decode the VIN and find where the engine came from. good luck!

I dont know how to upload a picture. I am not sure if it me or what. I have a new macbook (my first mac computer) and I am not sure if it doesn't let me or if I am doing something wrong. Iwould love to upload a pic so you can see. It is driving me nuts not knowing. How am i ever going to buy parts or even change the oil.

Here is a tutorial on how to post a pic.
