Finally got enough time to take some pics and post them up.

I only just got this and hevent really been able to drive it yet.

Its a late '97 model, and after looking at numerous other lines, this was in the best condition. It is pretty stock except for tanabe suspension, hks exhaust, hks pod, hks turbo timer, personal steering wheel, blitz boost gauge, razo pedals, and razo gear knob. Also has quite a few options from factory. Points awarded for people who can spot them...

So far im happy with it, gives me a smile whenever i drive it. Have a list of mods in my mind, but wont be until funds allow it.

Just thought i would post some pics of it.

Yeah tints are on the list. Yeah, planning to make it a nice street car. Got a few ideas in my mind about what i want the car to turn out like. Im drawing inspiration from so many other lines, along with a few of my own.

Yeah Tom i got it from Joel. Very happy so far, have had no problems and he looked after me very well. You have a good eye/memory to spot it. How long ago did you get yours?

I thought 40th aniversary models came in 1998??? Should post your VIN in the fast thread to check and see if the seats just havent been replaced as your missing hte 40th aniversary badges on the outside.

Reason I question is I have an end of year 97 model too and mine isnt the aniversary edition.

Cheers

Chris

not saying its not a 40th anniv. because i know the very late 97 models were as well, but I thought the 40th anniv. editions would have had the sideskirts standard etc.

badges arent a major factor, even im thinking about removing them from my 40th anniv...

Dezz - if you remove them from your car - can you let me know as I wouldn't mind putting them back on mine - they're missing from when it arrived :sick:..

As for 97's being 40th annv.. well.. could be some however majority are just SII not 40th annv.. however i'm not going to tell you it is or isn't - you can possibly check in FAST but can't remember if it says it is or not..

Did you get A-LSD? How many KM's does it have on it?

How's it drive? you happy with it?

Also - as everyone usually says - go and get a full service.. e.g. Engine Oil - filter, gearbox oil, diff oil maybe spark plugs as well..

Althought they are "meant" to be changed at compliance - no guarantee and it won't hurt prob cost a couple of 100 but it'll be worth it..

ill see how i go links..im un decided...and even if i do choose to take em off, id have to do it without affecting the paint...

FAST wont actually say it is or isnt a 40th anniv, but all the 98 built 1's were....

there are people on here that say LATE 97 models were also, but yeah, 1998 models are for sure as thats the actual 40th year i beleive...

Yeah the car drives really well. The suspension ist too hard, but im still getting used to it. The fuel economy os pretty good as well. Its costing a bit to get on the road, but thats the price you pay.

Has 67k km and no a-lsd. Im still trying to research what is the best oil and spark plugs to use and all that. As no one can really tell me how to identify if its a 40th anniversary from the vin or anything, im happy to believe that it is.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
