A mate is in the market for another Skyline & its come down to a 2door R34 GT. But, before he commits would like to know the difference between these two special edition NA models?

If I remember correctly the GT-V is RWD, comes as 2 door or 4door & has similar specs (brakes, suspension etc) to the GT-T with the exception of the standard traction control & centre console gauges.

Would I be right in assuming the GT-X is AWD?

Any help would be appreciated. :laugh:

Are you sure the n/a's came with gt-t brakes?

When I was shopping for my car I was at a dodgy dealership on parramatta road that was trying to pass off a n/a that had a turbo conversion as a GT-T (selling at a gt-t price etc.) It had the crappy non turbo brakes i:e no cover over the tops with the nissan writing, smaller than the gt-t brakes etc.

It looked the goods as a Gt-t, nice rims/kit other than the fact I spotted the difference between the brakes. The look on the salesman's face was priceless when I caught him out trying to sell it to me as a factory GT-t. Moron

Safe to say I didn't buy from there :)

Wasn't my old blue one was it? It ended up down that way, resprayed original colour with chromies and no boot spoiler....the whole 'How to turbo your N/A" thread is about it's build-up

I'm pretty sure the GT-V version had the GT-T brakes.

Cheers 666DAN. However, been reading up on the very little info available on the GT-X & came across a pic of a GT-X that allblitz has for sale (on the forums) & it looks NA (as attached) - ie. can't see any boost gauge, no intercooler & different NEO cover. So it seems the GT-X comes both NA & turbo.

Hmmm, same colour. Although the one I saw had a nissan sports kit & 18" or 19" bronze wheels. This would be going back a few months too.

The dealership shall remain nameless, although they may be found opposite from a restaurant that makes very tasty kebabs & right next to a hi-fi entertainment shop that has it's origins in Strathfield. :D:):ninja:

hahahaha..same thing happened with me at parramatta rd. The one i saw was in midnight blue with yea rims, exhaust and fmic. The second i lifted up the bonnet i saw a na motor with a turbo conversion staring in front of me. The guys there were clueless and saying that they got it traded in from guys over at qld then they kept telling me it was the gt-t model.

I then pointed out to them the whole engine is different, showed them under the car and told them it hasnt got HICAS, brakes, and the bloody cover which says NEO STRAIGHT 6. Also showing them pics of my old na r34 :) Also had the 3 guages in the middle but the discolouration says its been put there recently.

SUss things: The ignition has been changed so there are now 2 keys, the boot is pretty messsed up, with panels broken off and missing, no engineering certs and blue nissan label scratched and in pretty bad unreadable condition.

Yep..selling at GT-T price as well. If anyone here do see this car, dont for a second think of buying it. (oh yea it has a sunroof as well)

LoL, if the wheels were bronze it's probably the exact same car that I saw. :stupid: it also still had the blue GT badges if I'm not mistaken

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
