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

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
