Hi everyone.

A colleague at work has put a deposite down for a 1998 R33 GTS-T.

I was wondering if they exist, or has be had a dodge pulled on him.

I heard that the last run of 33's was in 1998 but they are hard to find.

Can anyone confirm or disprove this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes.. they do exist.. I have one + i think there is a couple of other floating around..

made in 05/98

Most are 40th anniversary, in fact haven't seen one that wasn't.. I would def check in Nissan FAST - this will tell you exactly when it was made (what batch)..

They have a black CAS

That's about the only way to visually identify them..

True, they exist.

I have one too :P

As already said 1998 is the 40th anniversary.

Should be extra sewn on badges on the front seats

And matching emblims on the C-pillar

Other than that, same as a 96-97 Series II

I have one aswell. I was curious to why the 40th Anniversary skyline version cost a fair bit if you were to buy one?

Any differences?

Visual differences, they had an optional rear spolier (GTR type) and an optional front bar (again GTR look-a-like) as well as badges.

They also came in limited colours like Midnight Purple Pearl II

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
