I was pricing-up a nice r33 GTST '94 today but it looked slitly different.It had a nismo front,nice white flat-spoke rims,GTR wing,Recaros,big writing on the steering wheel and the sides of the car"Taka Kaira" .The dealer is telling me that the car is a limited edition one and all the bits are fitted at the factory.Has anyone ever heard of "Taka Kaira" R33 or otherwise limited edition R33?

There was a Nissan 40th Anniversary GTS-t. With a better body kit and I think it was only released in midnight purple.

But then again, anyone could buy 25 GTS-t's and badge them in there business's name as a limited edition.

Might go again tomorrow to investigate further.On the outside the car looks shmick.However, the drivers recaro has a hole from a fag butt and the paint has come off the dash in some spots.Looks a bit grubby,however admiddedly the car is not ready for sale yet.I want to see it when they finish with it.

When I bought my car there was an NA Auto with a TommyKaira kit from the factory, with custom 19" gold wheels, rigid as heel suspension, hell it sounds pretty much identical, cept it was black, auto, and NA.

Same year '94, with silver badging on the side skirts with Tommy Kaira written on them.

Had it of driven better than a tractor, and gone faster than an excel I would have bought it. The thing was thrashed beyond belief, and the interior was about as good.

Good collectors car if you are planning on restoring it and using it from time to time, but if you want to drive it daily, make sure its worth it

yeah but the 40th anniversay one comes in a few different colours (purple, black, white) and is only series II 98 models.

my friend owns a genuine 40th anniversary R33, in Midnight Purple... most immaculate Skyline ive ever seen in my life. he paid high 30's for it about 6 months ago. only had 9000kms on it, with the log books in Japanese. :eek:

someone told me its got an R34 drivetrain underneath it... anyone got any further info about them that i can pass on to him?

I have seen a few lines with the Tomma kaira kits..you can get the copy kits easy enough. Generally all white?

If it indeed is a genuine.. and midnite purple is a nice colour!

I'd snap it up even if it has some problems - they can be fixed..

Ummm a few thing might need clearing up here..

I thought all 40th Ed. GTS-t's where midnight purple ? and where series 1's ?

If it did have a R34 Drivetrain...whats the difference ? I doubt very much.

I looked at the car again today.The colour is actually dark blue.Under the bonnet the colour is matt black-coud indicate that front end was at panel beaters at some stage.No extra hardware under the bonnet as far as I could tell.But it does have an authentic looking Tommi Kaira badge on the boot.Interior looks rather unimpressive and well used, 66,000 on the odo notwithstanding.I will probably look somewhere else for my Skyline.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
