HI PEOPLEZ

I have laid a deposit on a very nice example of a stock 1998 r33 GTST TYPE M.

( manufacturing of the r33 ceased some time in 1998 and they started making the r34)

My main concern is that it is legitimate , because it was a great find at a great price.

My question to all you skyline enthusiasts out there is,

ARE ALL GTST r33 skylines produced in 1998 , 40th anniversary editions???

Mine does not have 40th anniversary badging on the seats or on the outside and its driving me nuts not knowing, as It could be dodgy.

PLease let me know, i wanna find out b4 i buy it,

Thanks Guys

As you can see - i've included what the model codes mean - specifically the 16th one which on mine denotes 40th annv..

Yours however.. is Auto.. and doesn't have that same model code..

Interpret how you want.. Looking at this - there is a possibility that all 98's are 40th annv.. however - i'm not sure..

Your VIN does match up.. so that's a good sign..

Well - that VIN belongs to a R33 SII that rolled off the production line as a Auto..

I suggest you find out if a) a manual conversion was done or b) someone's swapped the VIN..

What colour is the car meant to be as well?? If you would like extra confirmation - call nissan tomorrow - they can run the VIN through nissan fast.. however you'll get the same as what I did here..

No worries.. wait and see what a couple of other people think - do you have some photos..

Probably nothing really to worrie about.. RTA won't check the VIN against something like nissan fast.. just interesting to know what's going on..

Don't stress out too much - from the sounds of it that's probably what's happened and should be easy to find out.. are you getting it here - or importing it over?..

BTW - KR4 (Sonic Silver) is the same colour as mine as a reference..

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
