1998 R33's. Do They Exist?

[Soulblighter]

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.

Just looked it up in

redbook.com.au

It says they do exsist up until may 1998

hope that helps

Yes they do, although weather or not your friend is actually getting a genuine 98 model is another story.

Get the VIN and check it on FAST

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

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

My avatar shows the outside badge

feel like buying some cams off me?

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

[ranicx]

my front bar is a 40th anniversary bar. they do look quite nice too

[Tosh]

as Nick has said, get the VIN, post it up and someone with FAST will tell you the build month and year

I've got one too

[Links]

They are rare in the sense that they were the last of the R33's ever made..

Moanie - i'm cool for the moment.. thanks though..

I believe - appeox 1,250 were made in that run of R33's..

Friends checked out the car.

He cant see any special 40th Ann badging so now his sus.

Is there a site that he can go to with FAST to check the VIN?

Thanx Doodz

I found this as well http://onionz.com/~saft/fast/

[lastlineofdefence]

From what i can recall, fast wont be able to tell you if it was branded with 40th ann. badges. You will just know that it is from the build date.

I have 1 as well..

dont think i have the front bar on mine though!!

i like it being a little diffrent than all the standard r33s
