Wassup Guys/Gals!!

This is my first post and am kind of new to the Skyline World. We don't get to see them much here (US), so bare with my ignorance on certain matters. But my GF lives in NSW now and she drove a friend's Skyline and she is hooked. She wants one pretty bad, so I had a few Questions,

1) How much would a R33 GTR V-Spec/ R34 GTR V-SPEC cost in Australia (Brisbane area). Also how hard are they to acquire down there?

2) Performance wise which the better bang for the buck in between R33 GTR and R34 GTR

3) Also if someone can direct me towards a site which has different models specs (like gts, gtst, gtt's, gtr's) I just want to know what's the difference.

4) Last Question for , Is there any place in Brisbane where they sell imports (skylines, supras). Or any place that we should AVOID not getting a car from.

Thanks for all the help in advance.

Well both Brisbane and NSW. She pretty much lives on the border(30 mins away from brisbane). How much do the R33 and R34 GTR's go for. Approx ballpark figure? So that we know what we are looking at finance wise here. I saw a 1999 R43 GTR for sale on some site in australia somewhere for around $100K (AUD ofcourse).

Just let me know any and all the info please. I want to do some research before we spend that kind of money on a car. Thanks alot for the quick reply.

Thanks alot guys. $100K AUD is not bad for a 1999 R34 GTR. But are there are shops around brisbane area who are familiar with these cars. As in to work on. Or Does local Nissan Dealerships do that for us? Also wanted to know where I can I find some specs & pics off different models.

eg:- I don't really know the difference between R34 GTR and R34 GTT model. As ex-static mentioned in the post above, the price difference is huge but what about performance wise. Single Turbo, rear wheel drive. But do they take on as good to mods as the GTR? Also how about the Comestic-wise. Do they look pretty much the same?. Stock Power output?.

Sorry about all these newbie Questions, Appreciate all the your time and help.

Thanks! :P

The R34 GTT and GTR looks fairly similar except for some cosmetics.. such as a different kit, but you could fit a GTR Kit to a GTT if you wished.

The GTR is an animal, 4WD 2.6ltr Twin Turbo, and takes VERY Kindly to modifications, its rated at 206kW(?) at the engine.. but we all know that its not hard to get LOTS more power from that.

The GTT is alot more sedate, more of an everyday car, rather than a full fetched weapon, they take reasonably well to mods, and are still pretty quick. a 2.5lt Engine, RWD, and single turbo, but still manages to push out around 180kW at the engine.. which isnt to shabby for a family car :P Theres a few guys on here that have got that same engine to arouns 280kW at the REAR Wheels.. now thats nice :(

As with People who can servive and supply parts.. Brisbane is pretty well in the know on imports from what I can tell, so it shouldnt be too hard to find someone there to help you out, maybe try the NSW/QLD section of the forums.

The R34 GTT puts out over 206kw, or more than likely does. It's rated at 206kw so it's almost certainly over this. The GTR is also rated at 206kw and we all know it puts out more than the GTT.

You are probably thinking of the R33 GTS-t, which is rated at 184kw.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
